I have to say, in the old days when I was a young whipper-snapper, I could ride anywhere, sleep on a picnic table, or under a treee, and head out for the next destination, day after day. However, my old bones just ain't cooperating like they used to. We do a couple of weekend tent trips every year, where everyone will pack a small two man tent, and I got a hi-tech mini air mattress, compact sleeping bag, and that'll work for one or two nights, but for 10 days at Strugis, that just isn't going to do the trick. If we stay at a hotel, we'll ride, but if we're staying at the Chip, we're bringing a camper with AC and a shower. Unfortunately, you can't pull a big ass camper with bike.
Now, if I had unlimited funds like the dude who parked next to us at the Chip last time, that would be the route I'd go. This guy obviously was loaded, but he rented 4 of the large Chip sites, and had a crew drive a semi down there pulling a ginormous custom trailer, that had a bar, sound system, and video system that pop out the side. They put up a huge canopy that must have been 40' x 20', and set up picnic tables, brass pole and all sorts of stuff. The guy then rode out with a few of his buddies and everything was set up like the 4 Seasons. That was mighty impressive, and the chicks flocked in by the dozens. He was riding a CVO RK at the time, so I'm surprised he's not on here?
