It just makes sense that motorcycles and camping go hand in hand. The same sensory connection to the world we get from motorcycling—the same elements we love, of being in the wind and leaning through the curves—can take place around camp. This both adds to your motorcycle adventures and contributes an entirely new passion to the mix. — location: 120 ^ref-29222

I like to set up camp in a way that creates the perfect opening scene to the movie I am recording as a memory. I place the bike just right, against a beautiful vista as a backdrop, noting where the sun will make its first appearance and angling my tent in an ideal way. This is like a gift for me to open in the morning. — location: 140 ^ref-4396

The best course of action other than avoiding it completely, is to remain calm, avoid changes in speed or direction, and keep the bike as straight up as possible while passing over it. — location: 2543 ^ref-25684
