Hmmm, looks like I'm going to have a bit of competition.

Am working hard on getting my site http://www.touring-wild.com up and running, especially as I've got an ad booked in the next issue of ABR due out in just over a week or so....

I'll also be selling tents, sleeping bags, camping & travel accessories. I'll be happy to sell to anyone who finds the site but it's aimed specifically at bikers, with the main emphasis on minimal weight & size but maximum function.

Times are a bit hard in my bricks & mortar store in West Yorkshire (http://www.mountain-wild.com) at the moment so just trying to drum up a bit of extra income from another source, 'coz as we've all said bikers like to camp too. So apologies for my blatant attempt at self promotion here

- expect I'll get banned....

There will of course be a discount for all the Strom Trekkers & other forum users - just watch this space. In the meantime if you're at a loose end and need some outdoor gear take a look at http://www.mountain-wild.com

I'm already quaking in my boots that the site will look good enough for you to give it the

Juv!!!

Wow, 'Doris'! - well to my critical eye that is one really professional website: attractive, logically laid out, informative, and function and utility, too! Love the elegant simplicity of the main photo on the homepage: says it all!

Roggo - I know you're still tweaking your site (early days) but my feeling is you have an opportunity to capitalize on your main project which is selling motorcycle-specific kit, so calling yourself The Tent blokes is too generic? As an example, I just googled motorcycle tents touring and didn't find your site, I bet you could tweak that website name...??

Search results also depend on meta tags in the web pages. One more reason to get a professional involved, they will know how to add these to make sure your site comes up in search engines.

Thanks Gassoon

I'm very much open to constructive critisism and will welcome thoughts & suggestions from anyone as to what they would like to buy in the way of camping gear. Just PM me / give me a call (tel no on Touring Wild site, well will be when it's live - the final countdown's underway) if there's something specific you're after - you never know I might be able to do you a dodgy deal! I'm happy to help if I can

I've got a Halfords Connock 1. JUST big enough for a single person and their kit with clothing and suck hept on the bike. Tiny package though , maybe 1/4m long and 1/8m wide when packed right. I have a bigger one that is about 1/2m long and 1/4m wide , it uses two poles where the cannock uses one.

EDIT: NVM , I see you gave it there

Will forward your site on
