"This 1098's the dog's bollocks!". Lobbit's grin widens as he balances his sleeping bag on top of the tent roll and races round the bike to get the bungees on before it topples off. One hand supports the bag while he streeeetches around to hook the other end of the bungee cord round the rear peg. Repeating the procedure ensures tent and bag are well secured. Easy, much better than the time the bungee hook nearly took his eye out while he was loading his R1.
As he tries to work out how to fit the rest of his gear onto the small space still left on the pillion seat, he notices said pillion walking slowly towards him, her smile decidedly less broad than his own.
"And where am I supposed to sit?", she demands, her voice holding that undertone of menace that he was beginning to recognise ... and dread. His grin fades as his mouth decides to experiment with incoherent stutters instead.
"What would Ogri do?". Inspiration! "Hey, Babe, your legs look gorgeous in those new leathers". Some of the anger leaves her eyes, so Lobbit continues "yeah, really gorgeous. I bet with legs like that you could walk to the Farmyard in no time."
Lobbit didn't see his wife for three days. On the fourth day the swelling went down slightly and he could see her a little out of one eye.
Imagine turning up at your next rally with an unladen bike (and a smiling passenger)! The ride up was great 'cause your suspension was not overloaded by the weight of all that gear, and as you pull into the rally field you're greeted by one of our friendly staff and lead to your tent — already up in the spot you chose.
At the end of another great rally, you just get on your bike and go - there's even room to carry home all the stuff you bought from the stalls.
As you ride easily off the muddy rally field, you try not to smirk at all the poor saps getting soaked while they struggle to hold their partially dismantled tents against the force 10 gale that has turned them into wannabe kites.
The dream has become reality. Book a tent for your next rally for only £30 — that's per tent, not per person!
Carry Nowt Camping is here! Links to on-line booking will be available as soon as we've sorted out credit cards. Till then, call us on 0776 027 9905 or use our booking form.
Book your tent fully erected at the rallies of your choice and just turn up and party!
Someone had to drive the van, but the rest of us rode to the East Leeds Lions' Easter Rally 2008 to put the tents up for our customers.
Carry nowt camping — you'll be glad you did!
