Hedging my bets here because I highly doubt renntec will get a proper fitting rack to me in time for GM5 on friday (see other thread, accidentally put it in idle banter).

So is it possible to strap a tent & sleeping bag and rollmat to a bike without the use of a rack?? I *think* I might have the grab rail for the bike somewhere so that might help a tiny bit if I can find it, but even then it's only bolted to the bike using 2 mounting points instead of 4..

All tips greatly appreciated
