Camping with the motorcycle? A top -class duet!

Motorcycling is fun and free! And what is freer than camping? Settle down at the place of your choice in the world, no matter when, you decide. Fun and joy are laughing folds that should distinguish your life. Once up, the feeling may change your life so much that you never live again without your strongly motorized two -wheeler. You feel free and the immediately effective PS give you a feeling of heroism. You can drive slowly or quickly, of course always taking the road traffic rules and should always wear secure motorcycle protection clothing. Full-fledged camping equipment is of course mandatory. The perfect addition is tent and sleeping bag, because more intensity and immediacy of experience is not possible.

Tents for motorcycle tours

Tents for motorcycle trips always require a little willingness to compromise: on the one hand, the tent should be large enough, so that luggage and motorcycle clothes and travel utensils are safely and dry. On the other hand, it should be easy and keep as compact as possible on the motorcycle. Here, too, the choice depends on the requirements. A well -walled tent saves weight and volume, but is only recommended for really dry travel areas. The shape of the tent also plays an elementary role in the selection. Dome tents are easy to set up and if necessary they stop without hip linen. Tunnel tents, on the other hand, cannot, but with the same floor space, are usually larger in the space available. Such a tent for camping with the motorcycle, you should choose primarily according to the square criterion.

Covers

Not only when autumn, winter and also the beloved motorcycle are at the door, there is sufficient protection against external influences. But if you don't have a garage place or other shelter for your two -wheeler, what do you do? Suggestion from us: Use a model -matching cover tarpaulin. Planning the cover for motorcycles there is a large selection and here too, if you invest a little more, drive better and stay protected longer. However, you should consider some information on the correct application and selection of a tarpaulin.

Quality and fit of the tarpaulin are particularly important. Make sure that a paint -gentle coating on the inside distinguishes your tarpaulin. So you prevent the paint of the motorcycle from suffering when the tarpaulin slips, moves or shifts. Since your motorcycle is outside, the tarpaulin must also be able to withstand winds. A fit as precisely as possible is decisive here. The looser it sits, the more it flutters with every smallest gust of wind and rubs over the body.

Better be careful as a forbearance - regular ventilation!

It is better not to rely on the advertised breathing activity of the covers. So that the air can circulate under the tarpaulin and therefore no condensation forms, you should always ensure a freedom of about five centimeters to the ground. Just take off the tarpaulin on dry days. We recommend that the motorcycle cleaned the motorcycle cleanly in front of the winter quarters and also to cut dry. This ensures that even small dirt particles under the tarpaulin cannot cause any damage and does not prevent any other scratches!

The same caution applies to heat. Although many tarpaulins are heat -resistant, you shouldn't pack your two -wheeler with a hot exhaust, manifold or engine block. Also freshly painted does not yet belong under the hood.

Did you know…

... that machines with seasonal license plates outside the approval period cannot be parked on public roads and paths?

And while the parked travel agents are safe and protected overnight, we also thought of your comfortable night's sleep.

Sleeping bags

The sleeping bags in our program are filled with plastic fibers. They are therefore very robust and insensitive to moisture. The question remains in what form you want to wrap yourself for the night. Whether mummy or ceiling sleeping bag, there are advantages for both variants. The mummy shape is lighter, has a lower pack size and a higher insulation performance. Ceiling sleeping bags, on the other hand, offer more freedom of movement and can be opened completely and used as a ceiling, almost as at home.

And under? Mattresses and is mat

A good sleeping pad is the basic requirement for relaxed sleeping. It not only ensures comfort, but above all isolation against the ground cold. The thicker the cushion the night, the greater but also the space requirement and the weight. Self -inflated mats are particularly comfortable and practical. Incidentally, you can also have a minor saying the hardness of the lying surface, in which you reduce the resistance with additional light inflow.

Tense & transport

Standing firmly in life with both bikes, your tiry favorite can do that with us. For joint excursions or failed incidents - the transportation home or, if necessary, to the next workshop is certain with us. There are many reasons for transport, maybe you will also bring a newly acquired gem to your home, or bring to the paint doctor in your trust in order to make a new paint. Here are a few indications of us for you, how to carry out transport and relax.

Drive up

You can freely choose the way up. Perhaps you have a stable, sustainable board or, you use the better variant and drive up via a corrugated rail with raised side walls. The risk of slipping is significantly lower here.

Tense & set up

Spread the belt slightly on one side so that it does not hang out. If available, the motorcycle can now be briefly on the side stand. Otherwise someone should help you and hold the bike so that it does not overturn and sheet metal damage and injuries are prevented. Then put on the opposite side so that the motorcycle straightens up. Feat the side stand and then alternate the straps alternately so that the bike stops safely.

Tighten & secure

Now secure the rear to the left and right and cover all metal and lacquer parts. Also make sure that the belts are not put on too much. The straps should always be so excited that they can never break away while driving, but is guaranteed to be firm. To remove the motorcycle again, you proceed in exactly the reverse order and, if available, fold out the side stand.

Review ramps - the equalization! Bridge height differences

Referrals, rear -end rails and loading lamps are indispensable if you want to drive up your two -wheeler, quad or of course your car. We have a comprehensive range of stable ramps. You can find more information on our website understatement aid or take your contact with us for personal advice. In most cases, we recommend a maximum climb of 30%for standard ramps. You can calculate the length of the uprising ramps/loading lamps with the following formula: ride -on height (cm) divided by the maximum climbing angle (30) x 100 = length of the rear ramp/loading ramp.

In order to bridge obstacles of this kind, there are numerous lamps on the market. The classic for overcoming height differences are unloading rails and ramps. They offer themselves for different operating devices and offer the advantage that they are particularly easy to use. They are mainly used for vehicles and the loading rails are quite compact in their dimensions. This offers the advantage that you can be stowed away well.

Temporary use

Fundamental are unloading rails and rear -end ramps that they can be used temporarily. This saves considerable costs that would result from the implementation of fixed installations. Today, selected materials are used to manufacture the rear ramp and loading rail. When choosing the material, it is primarily paid to the load limit and the weight of the ramp. In addition to steel, aluminum is mainly used for the production of the loading rails. For example, it can be used in the form of profiles and usually covers all requirements.

Different construction methods for maximum resilience

The range of loading rails and rear -horseman ramps and provides various dimensions. At this point, for example, the length of the individual elements is crucial. Different height differences can be easily overcome. Referrals are also known as loading lamps and are used for wheelchair transports, for example, there are special designs for this. The flexibility that goes with these models makes them so popular today, although there are ramps that are firmly mounted here.

About the care

Two-bike vehicle maintenance serves much more than just receiving a pleasant look. Experienced bikers use washing maneuvers as an opportunity to make sure whether the vehicle is also technically well in good condition. Whether small leaks on the engine, rubbed or even eaten cables, rust on chrome parts or a loose screw, during intensive cleaning, for example before or after the winter break, there is a lot. To wash the machine, you should always go to a suitable washing area, e.g. B. at a petrol station, because the vehicle washing is prohibited at home. If you want to use a high-pressure spotlight in a washing box, be sure to pay a sufficient distance to sensitive parts such as chain, steering head, swinging or cycling bearings. With too high pressure, you rinse the fat filling of the parts, which can lead to considerable damage. Plug -in connections of the built -in electrics can also react to high -pressure abuse with subsequent creeping flows or contact difficulties. And one more thing: the motorcycle must be cooled before washing!
If the beloved machine then shines and flashes again, it is best to check the technique immediately: the oil and cooling fluid stand, profile depth and the pressure of the tires, the voltage of the drive chain and the thickness of the brake pads? Do all lighting devices work? You should then remedy striking defects or malfunctions in order not to take any risk, to present a danger to others and yourself in road traffic.

Steadfast - find the right motorcycle stand

Since we have just talked about correct cleaning: for all cleaning processes, repairs to the motorcycle, or even longer standing times, a stand is indispensable. He not only relieves the tires, but also swinging and suspension of the motorcycle. An important prerequisite for the right choice of a suitable motorcycle stand is primarily the quality. And we can!

Throw a look! The assembly stand you choose should have flawless weld seams - which is why used products are not necessarily suitable. Take a look at our different products and then decide yourself.

Freizeitschmiede replies - questionable motorcycle knowledge

Why is the first gear for motorcycles "below" and why actually 1-N-2-3-4-5-6?

The fact that the idle between 1st and 2nd gear is technical. The gearbox is probably one of the most complex constructs of each engine. The car gear, for example, can be switched to idle between every gear, which is only due to the several actuating levers. Thus, the end of the strength can be interrupted from each course. With the motorcycle, this does not work due to space and the idle can only be within the corridors, but not outside the gear.

"Warm up" - what's it?

As is well known, there are many different opinions on the topic of "warm up motorcycle". Some place great importance on it, drive the machine for the first kilometers in the low speed range and only then turn the gas, others keep it much shorter and others do not hold anything at all, and start directly. As you may hold, the fact is: at half past six jumping out of bed at half past five jumps out of bed. The circulation must get going after the night's sleep and the entire organism will be raised. The situation is similar with the motorcycle with a motor, chassis, tires and brakes. Optimal operational readiness only with the acquisition of the operating temperature.

A rule of thumb:

Drive a maximum of half a nominal speed on the first kilometers. This gives the tougher oil time to be thin in the cold state. Then it gets everywhere and develops its full lubrication before it really gets down to business.

For more undisturbed camping fun on the motorcycle tour

Which equipment you choose for camping depends primarily on what you are going to do. Should it go to the meeting or the festival over the weekend, or is a trip several weeks on the schedule? Is the travel destination located in the south or north? Think as precisely as possible at which (night) temperatures and the amount of precipitation you have to expect, because not all the best comes from above. Will you be on the road as a self -catering and how much luxury do you treat yourself to on the go?
