Thanks Charlie, you did a good job of showing the advantages on this tent. It’s impressive for sure. It’s also obvious that you have some camping experience in you background. I have in the past helped on a camp for 200 people and it’s incredible how some people roll up with a tent (or half a tent) and no experience at all, and then blame the tent. If you’re going to camp at least put the thing up in the garden beforehand so you know how it goes up, and can be taken down! This one - like most - was no trouble at all as you showed. Have a good trip to France, and enjoy yourself! I’ll be motorcycling to Derbyshire in July in a tiny tent.. and I’m 76 y.o. Keep doing the YT thing, and thanks again. Les

This is the best tent/motorbike or cycle I've seen so far

Re the awning poles. Next time try crossing them in an X pattern, you can tie them at the intersection. That will bring the top height down.

Great video Charlie, thanks for sharing it. 👍👍

Excellent and very comprehensive and instructional video Charlie, hope it brings you lots of joy and ease of use in your forthcoming tour. Take care

Thanks Charlie, enjoyed that very much :-)

This tent looks really good, well thought out and spacious! I have cycle toured a great deal and sometimes wished for a larger tent but was limited by weight and size especially when cycling up big hills. A great review, thank you!

Excellent review of this very versatile tent. I can appreciate being able to stand up in a tent and this one does the job. 😊👍🏍

Greetings from down under. Always interesting and informative and great soundtrack. Thankyou.

Excellent review Charlie. Looks a cracking tent! 👍

Good review Charlie. You have an amazing garden.

A great review! Thanks…

Very cool piece of kit Charlie, tents have come a long way since my day😉

A another enjoyable and informative vlog Charlie ❤❤

Wow, this is really cool!

Looks the perfect tent for the biker, I use Vango and two person tent for one night or three person for 2nights plus. I am 57 with medical issues but still love a bit of camping sleeping in a hiking tent with my dog in the garden tonight. Always look forward to your videos young one 😊😊

The garage can be used for another person,bathing or potty or cooking! So versatile!nice to pack up on a dry bike

What an awesome bit of kit 👍🏻

As always, enjoyed your video!

Thank you for this video. An other thing good with this tent (hope you didn't said it in the video...) is that you set up the outter tent first. So, if it's raining, the bedroom inner tent stay dry.

Good review.

great idea :)

It's feckin' huge... 1. There's no way I'm carrying that on my bike 2. I don't need a tent that big when I'm bike camping 3. Why do you need to park your bike in a tent? Isn't your bike waterproof? 4. My Decathlon blackout tent, sleeping bag, ground mat, and chair all fit in a bag that size... Sorry, not meaning to be pissy... I'm just amazed how these guys seem to have got so much traction from social media for a product that makes no sense to me . But besides giving out about the tent, I'm enjoying your channel, I'm off to Spain today, so enjoying your French trip!

What a great setup.

Great review, thank you. I love well thought out design and gear

Great Review Charlie!, Love the flexability of this tent, being able to house the bike is great! Thank you, good luck in France!

Great review Charlie!

Nice one Charlie, looks like a decent bit of kit...

Charlie, quite a thorough first impression review and look forward to your end of season thoughts. I have an almost identical tent size wise, a Vango tourisimo 200 which has a 2 berth sleeping compartment and bike garage. I bought it in 2014 for £140 (Go Outdoors sale), should have been over £300 so after 9 years pretty comparable price! I have never put my bike inside and use the extra space as a lounge area. I am classed as disabled but I prefer the term limited and these styles of tent suit me to a “T”. The one thing my tent has that lone rider has not is the Vango tension band system that gives an increased rigidity in strong winds! We are all a bit different so these tents will suit some and not others, I bought a slummit ghobi3 thinking to make putting up and packing away quicker but it isn’t! I’m going to sell the slummit and stick to my Vango!

Reviews often fail to show how versatile this tent is. It's nice that you showed how easy it is to use the doors as awnings. Also, with doors on three sides, you can almost always set it up to deal with wind, sun and rain, whichever direction they come from. I carry a cheap 7' x 11' poly tarp to use as a ground cloth. Keeps the tent out of the dir/mud, makes it cozier inside, and gives me a clean surface to pack the tent. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine.

Good review!!

Brilliant tent, very practical for rider camping , watch a few of the lone rider vids , great tent 👍, off to Wales with 9 other guys this weekend, all the devils areas and dams, cheers ,Mitch 👍

One of the best reviews of the Moto tent 👍👍👍

Another great video. You make creating these videos look easy. We do not camp, only hotels and resorts but your video is very informative. Thanks again for great video.

I've never done lone camping before and this video has got the ball rolling. Thank you.

nice review, thanks for sharing

Good review, Charlie. At first, when I’d seen these tents, I thought they were a bit over the top, but your review has shown me what a versatile bit of kit this thing is.

I think it's a brilliant tent Charlie very well thought out with hook's & extra pocket's , the main thing for me is room for your bike & the ability to stand up to get dressed , take care & ride safe

Great demenstration!

Nice one 👍

This is a good tent for the older rider especially for a long trip worth a look at ,you just want to get it up before it starts to rain you got room to move ,bad weather you could be stuck in one area for two days ,and don’t look to big on the bike

Great review. Great to see all the design features and insight. Wish it didn't advertise the lone aspect but its out of my budget. 😂 Have a safe trip.

Gotta say Charlie am well impressed with that tent I will definitely look into it thanks for the review 👍🏻🍺

hmmmm.....tent or travelodge.... nope, its defo a travelodge 😀😀😀Great review and its a nice tent but i'll wimp out and stick to more....... em........ homely comforts 😁 Its an age thing

Looks like a great, well thought out product. Some comments….re the awning I would just angle the pole to create a run-off for water, and my daughter has a blackout tent so the interior stays dark and early sunrises are not a problem… not sure if this is the same. Good review 😊

Most enlightening and entertaining product review! Good piece of equipment too: By the looks...!' Lovely stuff!

Nicely put together that Charlie, I liked the invitation of a rear entry ......lol

Great review. Like you I’m to old (61) to be crawling about all the time lol. I use the Redverz acatama tent which is very similar to the lone rider and I absolutely love it. When camping with mates my tent always ends up being the place everyone comes too if it’s raining and have comfortably had 5 sitting inside and still had room to put a brew on 👍🏼

Great review, well played!

Now this is what I call a review...good job Charlie👍 I'm tempted already. About the trip to France...the offer is still on to sleep at our place there is always a couch waiting for you. It is not that far away from France., so feel free free to shout out. Grts Danny

If you breakdown you can remove tent from bike and stand it on end as a warning triangle. Great video so many options on how to use it. I will consider this tent when i need a new one.

Nice vid Charlie, my previous comments suggested Hollywood beckons, now its QVC I reckon...lol..keep em coming

Great review, I have had mine for a year now & just come back from a trip to Switzerland, the South of France & back via the Gorge du Tarn. I am 6' 2", 59yrs & like you need to stand up for comfort - especially putting my jeans on ! The only thing I have done is made my own extra full size "groundsheet footprint" as this helps keep the rest totally dry & I can then roll it up in a dry sack to stop it touching the folded tent. The only thing you forgot to mention was the little pockets for the guy ropes to keep them in one place. It really is a great tent & when biking, we need to make sure we get a good night's sleep. Have fun in France 😊

Great video again Sweetheart .. Try reviewing "LoneRider" ADV Tent. I think you'll Love It 😂❤

Good review, thanks Charlie. If I was in the market for a new tent, this would be the one, but I made the decision last winter that I'm giving up camping. After 60 continuous years, I've paid my dues. Air BnB from now on.

great review...... cavalier solitaire Charlie

Hi Charlie, Great vid of the tent! I have just purchased through your link! I do have the other lone rider tent but its too small and not great for my back. Lets hope this will be better, thank you.

I think that tent is really well thought out, being able to put the bike beside you is super, you did a great job putting it up and down and proved how easy it was.... Bravo Charlie.... Harry 😎

2 wks of putting up that tent everyday, you will be doing it with your eyes closed😂, good luck in France, lovely roads, beautiful scenery, I need to get back over there❤

Lol,I am 70 and just bought a scooter,adv150.i am gonna start camping in my jeep,hubby doesnt want to go anywhere,so I guess I am on my own.son works,but he camps,daughter works but never leaves her room.i love the lone rider videos and his tent.just subbed you

I feel your pain lol great review very simple and straightforward but a good professional review thank you ,new sub here❤

I can see the appeal and cost savings in camping while touring on a bike, but I like my creature comforts, cheap hotels of which there are plenty in France from my travels there. But hey, we're all different, the World would be a boring place if we were all the same, so good on you for taking it on. That review was extensive with a lot of good inforamtion, so although I don't camp, you kept my attention till the end, maybe it's your character or personality not the content, but anyway, enjoy your French trip. I'm looking forward to see where you go and recoginisng the areas that I've travelled.

Ive had the tent for over a year now Charlie and it is the best always put your bike in leaning away from you as you mentioned Get it tucked away towards the corner and there’s enough room to get your seat in aswell if it’s raining You won’t go back to putting your pants on lying down again I always take it with me camping on the bike I don’t find the size or weight a problem Happy camping 🏕️ yo you 👍

I’m looking forward to hearing your opinion on this tent after France as that will be a better review to see if it is worth the money. Well demonstrated Charlie! Stay safe !

Look forward to you in your foreign travels testing the tent/garage for real, gonna be interesting, I carry a bike cover with me as nothing worse than a wet bike in the morning.

Great review Charlie - it looks a very well thought out tent. Having a bag big enough to put it back into is always a good idea. Some manufacturers provide a bag which has only barely enough room to stuff and force the tent back into it. Not sure about the Lone Rider's very red sleeping area interior though: I would prefer a more neutral shade myself.

I think you could go wild camping in your back garden Charlie looking at the size of it😅

Really versatile tent Charlie and quick and easy to set up. Regarding the porch area, instead of shortening the poles why not angle them outwards and adjust the guy ropes accordingly. Great video and looking forward to your France tour.

Well..I've just done it,bought the interceptor,had a great test ride,loved it bought it.

Nice tent, but £££££, just arrived back from a moto camp with my Son, used my HiGear Aura 3, you can stand up in the awning and bedroom, cost around £150, you echoed my thoughts on low tents I'm now 51 and can't be doing with all the kneeling down and crouching, thanks for sharing.

Looks a great tent you made it look easy well done the awning part collecting water maybe just lower the poles by just pulling the bottom of them to the garage part should lower it a little good luck enjoying the vids x

I just done 8 days Nc 500 in a tent Charlie, & tbh that’s the one thing I won’t do again ,I’m 54, no more multi tenting for me , I think you should revisit your tour of France & either go for a much more compact tent “ light weight “ or go the b&b hotel route. Best of luck to you anyway, all the best . Neil.

S.O.S. side of ground cloth tarpaulin would be better as larger white lettering on a day-glow safety orange field. But love the tent.

Hello Charlie, followed you from day one and love how you and your channel are progressing, just one minor comment if I may, when you play music I find I am reaching for the volume down button on my laptop as its quite loud then turning the volume back up when you are talking is there anyway of balancing the volume a bit please 😊

Really enjoyed your review of the lone rider tent ⛺ it's looks perfect a bit high priced but I guess you get what you pay for . Thanks for sharing your experience 😊

"Just slide your pole in and you don't have to fanny around" I like your thinking, LOL.

Yes, if you lean the bike towards the outside you got more room to play as well as it being a tad safer:-)

Hi Charlie. Looks like a great tent! Be careful with the RE rear rack. I think your bike is an E4, so I’m not sure if it has the most recent, reinforced rack? The older ones are notorious for snapping under load. Hitchcocks do a great replacement rack, bigger and stronger. Also, may I suggest handguards or that you take some spare levers? If you drop the bike the levers will be the first thing that breaks, which will be a bad, bad day. Enjoy France 😊🍷.

Yes, yes, yes..... when you announced the coming of this tent review, I was then literally on thhe look out for a new tent, so deceided to await this video be4 buyin a new one. You've spold it to me... BUT, my cruiser bike is 8.3 feet in length. Have I got room to get it in the garage part and still close both flaps..., I wonder!?

Old age is a bugger eh Charley But it's better than the alternative 😉 How many of us have tried to put our pants on in a tent in the middle of the night for a wee and fallen flat on our arses 😂 Nice review and I'm sure you will be able to put it up and down blindfolded after a week 👍 Safe riding matey ❤

You're only fifty and already tired of climbing in and out of your tent? I'm almost 63 and still doing that :) I must admit the souplesse is mostly gone.... But you know what they say: use it or loose it!! Hope you enjoy your new tent. I hope to visit Snowdonia this summer. So if you see a heavily loaded Bandit GSF1250 with a Dutch license plate, come and say hello!!

I think that it is still very impressive that you are still willing to sleep in a tent! I love the garage feature. You're going to France?!!!! That is awesome! Are you bringing Roger?

😊👍🙏

Oh my, you seemed to like the back door Missy.

I get the have to stand up. I’m 42 BUT I was in the army also, soo my knees, back and feet are feeling 60. I am SOOO close on biting the bullet on this. I have been looking at some alternatives but…. We will see. Xmas is coming soon. 😂

Great review with lots of info, quality looks really good. Just wondering how are you going on with the sheepskin saddle cover, does it make a long journey more comfortable. Another great great video look forward to the next one.

Might you make it to the ABR festival, be good to see you there.👍🏻

I don't know I think that the pack size is pretty darn big, maybe too big for a bike tent. I use a French army tent (2 man) and if its wet an army basha sheet for the bike. Both pack away very small.

thought you were younger, loving the pleats

This is the best review I’ve seen on this tent and makes me want it more. But I just can’t justify paying that much for a tent 😢

If you put the poles for the awning at an angle, crossed over or towards the tent you'd not damage the shock cord by shortening them

From what I can see, no vents have been counted. On this tent, ventilation of moist air should be done by wind getting under the cover at the ground and out again at the ground. What if there is no wind? You can open a door. What if it rains? Looking at professional tent makers, one of the main focuses is to get out condensation. Then you have to have a ventilation opening at the top of the tent. Otherwise, it was nice demo of the tent and its facilities and possibilities

Excellent review Charlie. I do love a tent, I’m tempted but I do already have three, none of which could house my motorbike though. Pricey, but you’ve convinced me it’s worth its price. I guess you know, but when you drive in France you have to carry a warning triangle in case you break down so I’m thinking the warning triangle on the tent bag may suffice ? Best you check that out though.

At 51 you need to be able to to stand to put your pants on. Hilarious 😱😲🥴 Good on you and wishing you success in everything you do.

That is some tent! I have found that a bad tent means bad sleep.

I'd consider this tent as an EDC in the car along with my "emergency bag" containing "survival equipment". I'm not allowed a bike these days, my son is afraid I'll fall off, very annoying for a pensioner!

What a great channel. Found you by looking for reviews on the tent as I want something big enough yet compact enough for me and my dog on our motorbike travels. Great review which answered all my queries. New subscriber, currently binge watching 👍🐶🏍️

Good review of all the features and configurations. Great versatile travelling tent, with some well thought out details. For me, personally, the only down side is the red inner. Would have liked it in a darker colour, or even brown like the outer?

Great review on a nice looking bit of kit, Just wonder how it would stand up to the gale force winds we get on the West of Scotland.

Thanks for the video... it looks a good tent .. but I'm 6ft 4... im looking at the sleeping area and it looks quite small for a lanky one
