Chose that tent cos it seemed the best one and lightest for the money as dont wanna be carrying massive weight on the bike as well as 2 hard panniers and a 46l top box full of stuff.

On top of that my tent, sleeping bag and airbed will be in a rollbag strapped to the pillion seat, as I prefer that kind of weight closer to me not hung out the back of the bike. The panniers will be home to clothes and wash kit, the topbox will house my cooking stove, oddments of camping gear and the liners for my textiles, nothing heavy. Normal day to day stuff like wallet, passport, phone etc will be in my dinky little 2litre capacity Baglux tankbag.

I've already tried it out over a couple of hundred miles of back roads just to see what it's like, and I can cope easily with that lot stashed as it was.
