    Recomendations on tarp for hammock and motorcycle

    Would be nice to be able to fit my bike under the tarp as well as the hammock. Any recommendations?

    Wide tarp ideas

    There is a entire Bikepacking sub-forum, but it will cost you a big $10 to be a donating member. Also a motorcycle thread and perhaps there should be a motorcycle sub-forum, I sold my cruiser motorcycle years ago and my wife threatens to divorce me if I ever buy another. I would enjoy having my feet up on highway pegs again instead of confined to inside a vehicle, but I married the wrong woman for that.

    Winter Palace tarp with 12' ridge line?:

    There are many more, some wider than this I just cannot think of them off hand.



    You could probably put a motorcycle on each side of the hammock under this huge 16 foot Kelty Noah's Tarp but it does not fold down super compact or light (almost 4 pounds makes it suitable for SUV camping with a bunch of people under it as a cooking shelter, or up super high like this to stay cool with maximum air flow, notice the fan hanging above the cotton hammock.)

    It's going to take a huge tarp and even then it will crimp your style. Maybe a dedicated moto cover instead? My bike likes the rain/snow/sun and prefers to stay outside.

    I believe this is what you're looking for.

    I'd rather be hanging.

    We use Kelty Noah's Tarp Depending on how bad its raining, sometimes I use it to cover the picnic table, and roll the bike under. Or just use it to cover my bike, either way it's very handy to bring an extra tarp.

    I think ill just end up using a seperate tarp for the bike. One that would fit both would be too big. Thnx guys!

    A Noah's 12 with 1/3 covering the hammock and 2/3 covering the bike as a porch would work well, I would think.. I never cover my bike, instead just using a microfiber wash cloth to dry the dew off in the morning. Then again, I don't own anything with chrome..

    That's where that went. Thanks, I was wondering.
