By Rob Dingman
My job requires me to be away from home and my family a lot, including over many weekends. One of the things I really like to do when I get a weekend off is to go trail riding. After being away for successive weekends at some motorcycling meeting or event, it can be hard to justify avoiding the honey-do list to go riding. I would never say that my wife is anything less than supportive (at least not in a publication that comes to my house anyway) but I do spend a great deal of time involved in one way or another with motorcycling.
Of course, it occurred to me that there’s no better way to bond with my kids and spend more time with the family than to get them involved in motorcycling. Until recently, my 12- and 14-year-old sons had shown little more than a passing interest in dirt bikes. They both have other interests and are getting to the ages when there are fewer activities to bond with their old man.
As AMA president and CEO, I am not immune from the issues all motorcyclists face when it comes to things like getting buy-in from my wife and negotiating for additional space in the garage. I decided that I would ease into it and only get one bike for the boys to share and learn on—at first. (To this day, I am not certain that I ever officially got that buy-in, but then I never heard, “No!”) So one day this spring, the boys and I went to a dealership and purchased a Kawasaki KLX140L. After several trips to the local gear shop, they were both fully equipped and ready to learn to ride.
I started the boys out in our very small yard, figuring it would take them some time to get used to the clutch and develop a comfort-level with the bike. They learned quickly and had a really good first experience with the bike. My wife even rode a few laps around the yard.
A neighbor suggested that I take the boys out to a much larger neighborhood common area across the street. So we did. Now this is a small field usually used by the neighborhood kids to play soccer and football and fly kites and things like that. I figured if I let them ride there too long, it would only be a matter of time before I got a letter in my mailbox from the neighborhood association, so I reluctantly made them return to the yard. But—you guessed it—after riding in a much larger space, our small yard had quickly become even smaller.
Watching the boys ride and seeing how much fun they were having was really tough on their 8-year-old sister. You can imagine how many times I heard how unfair it was that the boys had a dirtbike and she didn’t. Now, my daughter is what has been described as “spirited.” She is smart, tough, energetic and regularly puts her older brothers in their place. I frequently say that if she had been born first, she’d be an only child. In short, I had no doubt that she could be the strongest rider of the three.
It was my wife’s idea, in fact, to get our daughter a bike. She only had to mention it once, and I brought my daughter to the dealership and picked up a Yamaha TTR50. We also got her outfitted with all the necessary safety gear and she was ready to go. She rode the wheels off that little 50 the first time out in the yard and, given the size of the bike, she had plenty of room.
While my boys seemed to get the hang of riding much more quickly than I thought they would, this also meant that I would
have to find a larger place for them to ride. They had grown bored with figure eights in the yard but they were not quite yet ready for trails. So the next time I was home on a weekend, I took them to a baseball field and let them ride around the outfield. This is where sharing a bike quickly wore thin.
As luck would have it, a colleague at the AMA needed additional space in his garage for a new bike he had already purchased and decided to sell me his wife’s slightly used Honda CRF230F.
We were now ready for a family outing. I loaded my bike and the boys’ bikes on the trailer and put my daughter’s bike in the back of the SUV and headed for the nearby state forest OHV area. It has a large open area, where I thought it would be good for the kids to hone their skills because they weren’t quite ready for trails. And since we were going to be staying in one place, Mom could come and supervise.
After riding around for less than a half hour, I suggested to my wife that she take a turn on the KLX. I was hoping it would improve her comfort level with me taking the kids riding. She put on a helmet and waived off my 12-year-old’s offer of his gloves and chest protector. She was on the bike for less than five minutes when she grabbed too much front brake going into a little dip in the terrain, got out of shape and whiskey throttled her way onto the ground.
She was banged up pretty bad and told me through clenched teeth while still on the ground that we needed to leave. Obviously, this didn’t turn out at all like I had planned. She has been a good sport about it since and, thankfully, enough time has gone by that she can almost laugh about it.
The boys finally graduated to easy trails and I recently took them to ride some trails in the Wayne National Forest here in Ohio. Yes, there was some controversy when my daughter got left behind at home but she’ll be getting some one-on-one trail riding time with Dad soon. I am sure that it won’t be long before I am the one who can’t keep up with the kids.
Motorcycling really is a family affair. While riding with my wife and kids, I am reminded why we work so hard to preserve our motorcycling freedoms for future generations.

Onereason many of us ride motorcycles is the adventure of getting off the beaten path. An excellent way to heighten that experience is to combine your two-wheeled excursion with a camping trip. Living and riding in the Pacific Northwest, I’ve had numerous opportunities to sneak off for a night or so of camping, while exploring the grand scenery by day on the bike.
Camping trips also represent a common bond among motorcyclists of all types. Whether you ride a Yamaha WR250R or a Honda Gold Wing, you can experience the combined fun of backroad adventures and nights by the campfire.
Although these tips are written from a dual-sport perspective, they are helpful for anyone who camps on their motorcycle, regardless of what they ride.
Written and photographed by Tom Mehren
As a longtime AMA-chartered promoter, I’ve learned over the years to plan the routing of our tours so riders actually stay in the same place two nights in a row. It’s really nice each day not having to break camp in the morning and set camp again at night. You get more time to ride and everything is already done when you come back to camp on night two. Another advantage is having lighter loads during those days.
Such was the case during a recent tour through Idaho last summer. Two nights in McCall, a one-nighter in Salmon, then two nights in Kamiah made it much simpler for those camping to explore Hells Canyon, Railroad Ridge, the Chinese Wall, Magruder Corridor and the Lolo Motorway.
Because temps can vary widely over the course of a few days, a warm bag with zipper along the foot box on the bottom allows you to adjust how much heat it will retain, making it more comfortable on warmer nights.
The main reason many riders give up on camping is because as we age, lying all night on a skimpy piece of foam becomes downright painful. Technology has come a long way. New air mat technology provides a 2- to 3-inch loft—much nicer than a halfinch of foam. Air mats like these roll up really small, about half the size of a foam mat. For a little more warmth, seek out a mat filled with down or synthetic that will help retain body heat in the mat below you when temps drop. Between a modern day
In the 21st century it’s possible to purchase a sleeping bag that weighs less than 20 ounces that will keep you warm in the wild down to 15 degrees. Up until now the smart choice was a synthetic bag because they would keep a rider warm even if they got wet. But with the new DriDown fill available, you can go either way. When it comes to weight, both are neck-and-neck.
A typical rule of thumb here is the less the bag costs, the more it will weigh. So again, you may want to spend a little more for more technically advanced, lighter fabrics and fills.
sleeping bag and a syn-filled mat, you can be comfortable when it’s 30 degrees outside. It’s a lot easier to air these mats up with a pump than your lungs. Some companies offer a pump/pillow item that serves two good purposes in one device.
You may already have a list you use to pack your gear—good idea. Because food can be a lot to think about at the end of the day, preplan a simple menu before your trip and have it handy when you go shopping each afternoon. That way you won’t forget the little things like coffee creamer, ice and otherwise.
As you plan the menu, remember to have things from dinner to carry over to breakfast. The rest of that double portion of fruit you got in the deli last night will go nicely with breakfast this morning.
On a typical day ride, I need about 40 liters of storage to carry the important stuff like a first-aid kit, tire pump and repair gear, tools, water, snacks, camera, rain gear, etc. When I go camping, I need another 40 liters for my tent, sleeping bag, air mat and kitchen gear. If I minimize it to its fullest, I can usually slip in a creature comfort like a camp chair.
For the dual-sport camper, having an assortment of dry sacks, waterproof compression bags and plastic freezer bags will ensure your gear stays dry regardless of ensuing rain, or because you dumped your bike during that last water crossing. In my arsenal, everything is sorted into various bags, keeping it dry and making it all that much easier to locate.
As motorcyclists, we tend to like to get our important gear into the tent with us, including storing our riding gear at night. A one-person tent or bivy sack won’t allow that for the solo rider. If I’m out solo, I’ll carry a two-person tent. Couples will enjoy the added space a three-person tent provides. Most two- and three-person tents on the market today pack up pretty small. The day of the canvas pup-tent is long gone and compact size is the name of the game. But
don’t go cheap. Remember that a leaky tent in the middle of nowhere is a major pain, so at least get yourself into the medium price range tent and don’t be bashful about spending more. Lighten your load even more by seeking out a tent in the ultralight range. It’s money well spent.
There are a few upgrades you may want to make to your tent as well. Consider adding some lighter and better quality stakes as well as swapping out the tent lines with glo-cord. If you’re tired of tripping over your lines on the way to the facilities late at night, glo-cord will usually solve that problem.
A simple tent repair kit is also handy and can fix more than just your tent. We once used one to make a broken brake lever operational again.
Four-season expedition quality tents are probably beyond what’s really needed for a typical motorcycle camping trip and will add on pounds and require more storage space. Larger tents with taller, longer vestibules have served some riders well during inclement weather when some service is needed for the bike, but again these will add pounds and push capacity limits.
Most tents can be purchased with an optional footprint, a sheet of waterproofed nylon that goes between the tent and the ground. Get one. These moisture barriers are essential to keep ground vapor out of your tent. Nobody likes a wet sleeping bag or packing a wet tent. The tent footprint can also be utilized as a clean sheet to place on the ground during a roadside repair, keeping your tools and parts out of the dirt.
If you want to move to cooking some foods, keep in mind you’re getting into more gear to carry. A larger stove, more fuel, extra utensils and cleaning items are required that you may not have room for at this point.
But if you’re out with a group, this becomes more doable as gear storage can be shared between riders.
For the simple kitchen, you could probably do fine with a single-serving cook stove, but when it comes to making eggs and other items, you’ll need a larger size pan system.
I like to add in places that have at least a convenience store on the way in to camp. A full-size grocery store with a deli is a bonus. Because you’re on a vehicle that requires you to put gas in the tank once or twice a day, your route will no doubt come across these stores in one form or another.
The only food items on the bike are snacks and a small collection of cooking sundries. I purchase food for meals late in the day on the way to the campsite. For this I use an ultralight daypack that fits in the palm of my hand when stuffed into its carrying sack.
If you plan on camping at elevations above 5,000 feet, the stove you choose needs to be able to burn fuel at higher elevations. Some will and some won’t, depending on the type of gas they use and how it is delivered to the stove element.
As for more robust cooking pleasures, an egg-scramble in the morning utilizing some of the previous night’s leftovers is nice. And in the evening a longtime favorite of mine is frying some bananas and dousing them with some of that raspberry vinegar. It’s the ultimate dessert treat.
I really like the folding plate ware that packs up flat. It’s easy to clean and I can slide it anywhere into my bags easily.
You’ve just ridden eight hours, 150 miles, all on gravel and now you have to set camp. After that, you’re going to make dinner. This is where I get minimal. During my routing,
When selecting food, I look for items I might serve as both dinner and breakfast. Cheeses, beef sticks, nuts, fruits, veggies and dried fruits can all be enjoyed at dinner and polished off at breakfast.
On board, a small bottle of orangeinfused olive oil, raspberry vinegar, some salt and pepper, a small tube of ghee (clarified butter) and a few of your own personal cooking favorites will provide you with unique ways to enhance the food you already bought.
Personally, I avoid dehydrated foods. They are overloaded with salt and can be the source of excessive gas, so they are off the list. This includes entrees you might get at the outdoor store as well as freezedried soups, freeze-dried beverages and anything that is loaded with salt during the dehydration process.
For your hot beverages like tea and coffee, pack a small single service stove
Camping choices in the Pacific Northwest range from bare bones primitive to outright modern. If you do a little homework, you might even be able to toss in a night or two of cabin camping. Here are a few of our favorites.
Newberry Crater, Ore. Located inside the Newberry National Volcanic Monument, you can choose from six different campgrounds, some primitive, some featuring running water and even hot showers. Cabins are available at both Paulina Lake and East Lake. Don’t miss a chance to ride your bike to the top of Paulina Peak for the full 360-degree view of the crater. The riding nearby goes on forever.
Fremont Point Lookout, Ore. You’ll find this primitive camp spot in Central Oregon at 7,000 feet overlooking Summer Lake, which lies 3,000 feet below. It’s a stunning location for a summer sunrise. Food and fuel are located to the south in Paisley and to the north in Silverlake.
Lewis & Clark Resort, Kamiah, Idaho. This rustic campground has plenty of tent camping available, running water and hot showers. You can up your accommodations getting one of several cabins onsite. The location is central to coming off the Magruder Corrider (FS 468) or making an assault on the Historic Lolo Motorway (FS 500).
FS 5900 (various sites, west of Lake Chelan), Wash. Located at 6,000 feet in the Chelan Mountains, choose from five different primitive campgrounds between Shady Pass and Lake Chelan below. Views across the lake are great anytime morning or evening. Food and fuel are a ways off in each direction, so plan ahead.
Timberlake Campground, Home Valley, Wash. While the Columbia River Gorge is a great place to ride, it can get a bit windy in the early mornings and late afternoon almost any time of year. Timberlake CG is tucked away from the wind in the trees just north of Home Valley making it an optimal overnighting location. With so much great riding in this area, you could make it your base camp for a few days. There’s a large hall with a fireplace groups can use for gathering in the evening hours.
system. Some of the top name coffee conglomerates now have single serving packets. If you like cream, grab a few tubs of the liquid type when you make that fuel/ food stop in the afternoon.
And like the cream trick, condiments are all over the place. Packets of relish, ketchup, mustard and otherwise abound. If you’re grabbing a lot of them, offer a buck or two when you hit the register.
The general rule of thumb is put the heavy stuff lower in your luggage to maintain a lower center of gravity. Also consider convenience. You want access to the things you need during the day, so those items may wind up on top and the camping gear winds up on the bottom. A combination of the two usually works.
Because most dry bags, sleeping bag stuff sacks, tent storage bags and otherwise have a tubular shape to them, you’ll find it easier to store them all vertically as opposed to horizontally. Access to each is greatly improved.
If you’re packing chocolate or anything else that has an aversion to heat, bury it away from the exterior of the bag in the day so it won’t turn to mush.
During our jaunt up to the Chinese Wall last summer, the last five miles of road were very rocky. Knowing it was an out-and-back part of our day, a number of riders removed
a pannier or two to lighten the load for the final ascent, stashed them out-of-sight and picked them up on the way back down.
For all riders who gave up camping because it was uncomfortable, times have changed. It’s time to come back to the good life. The more one does this, the
better they become at it. It’s just you and your motorcycle, out exploring where most cages will never go, days at a time and comfortable at night. Adventure awaits!

You can have it both ways.
AMA members do it all—long-distance rides, off-road races, cruising main street, vintage dirt track... To better serve our broad membership base, American Motorcyclist magazine is now published in two versions. The dirt version includes more off-highway and racing content. The street version includes more articles for road riders.
Want to switch? Just call (800) 262-5646, ask for membership services and tell them which version you want.
Want to read both versions? Call the above number to get both delivered to your home for just $10 more a year. Members can read both online at www.americanmotorcyclist.com/magazine for free.
