Hello, Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. This little tent is extremely easy to set up and would work great for your motorcycle. The only little problem I saw with it was in cold weather. It does have a tendancy to sweat on the inside if you close it up. I would recommend it.

Yup, It packs down to about 2/3 the size of a 1 Man backpackers tent. But as the previous responder said you will probably want to be able to tie off the footbox area as to not have it rest on your legs. I use it more for its light weight than pack size. On a motocycle I would probably use my 1 Man.

Yes, very easy to setup and packs down quite small. There is a single pole (in sections) but you should have no problem on motorcycle, I use it with my mountain bike lashed to my pack.

The Aqua-Quest would be pretty good for a motorcycle as it is very compact and fairly light. One drawback I found was that I have a loose-filled down bag, and unless I suspend the middle and bottom of the bivvy, I lose loft in my bag and get cold. I'll post a picture of how I suspend it in a moment. For backpacking, I have recently upgraded to a Tarptent Double Rainbow. It is a two-person, two entrance tent for about the same weight. But the packed size is 18" x 4", so a bit long for a motorcycle. One thing I prefer with the Aqua-Quest, is if the weather is good you can sleep with the top down and see the stars, like camping in the open, but insects cannot get you as there is a mesh top.

Boris, I don't recommend this bike at all; very hard to fold and unfold; braking mechanism unreliable; I have had way more fun with my UNO single speed folding bike, check it out instead. Tony

I guess it would depend on the person, it is definitely light weight, but is big and awkward to carry as the weight is on the motor side. It would be better to have a helper carry the light side as first person going up, they coukld hold with one hand.

I think it is very convenient for daily usage. It is light weight and not bulky so it's easy to take off, fold and store. The good thing is that it is heavy enough to stay on and protect bike.

I am able to carry it without any problem. I have a sedentary job and do not work out regularly. It comes with a case with handles so it is not unwieldy --- it is easy to carry and not too heavy.

Well As a delivery driver I have this around me every day. So let me answer simply as yes, and no. The holder it comes with will break very quickly. Mine broke on the third day after I received it. It does fit in your pocket comfortably, so I say yes. however the switch that activates it can easily get caught up on the fabric in your pocket accidentally turning it on... This is where I have to say no. Because after owning this for a few months now I can say I have accidentally tasered myself twice. After the second time I found an old leather cellphone case at a thrift store for $0.50 which now allows me to safely carry this painful little devil. Oh and trust me it will stop a grown man. On delivery one night a man approached me with a knife. I am grateful I had this on me, because I tasered him and ran to my car. He is now locked up btw. So in short yes you can carry it in your pocket, but be very careful!

I use it often at work and I've had no difficulty. I'm 6'7" and even with large hands, I find it to be pretty easy to open and close. Like anything, the more it's used, the easier it is to handle.

Thanks for your response. It looks too big to carry so I will get another smaller one. I hope you never have to use it.

I think it would be a good item for any trip, as it's small and easy to carry or pack. I like the field of view it offers, the only con is that it takes two hands to hold and turn the focus wheel that can be hard to turn. I like this item except for the one con mentioned.

It is easy but in my experience it is a dangerous quick release system. Mine released on it's own several times once almost causing a bad crash. This thing is a POS. I tossed mine away. Get something safer and sturdier. Your safety is more important than a low price.

It is certainly easy for a right-handed person. I can easily open it with my left hand, though that's not my dominant hand, so I am very confident that the answer is yes.

I dont see any problems with carry as you describe. In fact, the angle of the handle is very well thought out. It may look funny but the knife is quickly and securely presented, provided you train a little with it (which we all do with anything new, I guess).

I have had one for about 5 months. Seems to be decent. I use it every day as a helicopter mechanic. Only fault I had with the thing is the handle mounting to push around the hangar seemed a little weak initially. I haven't had problems with it yet though. In a van it would be no problem. Drawers have a detent that keep them closed, but no positive lock besides the key, so I'd recommend that before driving. I did have a parts/ziplock type bag get pushed out of the top drawer and fell behind the others. It kept many of the right side drawers from being locked properly with the key, but the drawers opened and closed with no problems otherwise. Once I found the bag behind the drawers, no more problems. It's a good box. It came with the wheels pre mounted when I got mine. I would buy the thing again. It's hard to beat it for the price.

It has a zipper that zips the top to the opening of the bag, if you have that zipped up and the back up clip 'clipped' then theres no worry about it opening when you are carrying it. if you have it all unzipped/unclipped you can get into the bag super easy- very quick access.

I'm not really sure I got this bag for my dads bike. But i believe i saw him taking off his seat and attaching it that way ... I can ask him tomorrow when I see him he can tell more in details how he attached it. But i will email you back with the info. But so far no complaints is a really good motorcycle bag.

I loved it right away. Tough, and seemingly well built. The pocket clip loosiined though with out my knowledge, and came off, and I lost one of the little screws. I still have it, and still love it, but I don't carry obviously, as I used to everyday. Hope this helps.
