Setting up your Goose - Bike to bed in 3 minutes! Wingman Of The Road

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 มิ.ย. 2020
- This is the Goose all in one motorcycle camping system. It includes a 420g ripstop canvas tent, poles, high density foam mattress, sleeping bag & 4m2 waterproof tarp. You can find more information and purchase a Goose at www.wingmanoftheroad.com
I've had my Goose a few years now. I use it nine months of the year and never feel cold. I love it and its always a conversation starter in the campsites.
Great to hear Mark :D. Heres to many more trips to come!
Have you used it in a strong wind? How was it? Thanks.
@@caahacky I have and it stood up well. Its quite robust. I would zip down the awning rather than tie to the bike though.
Great set up video. You weren't rushing through it, just organized and efficient movements.
I'm researching and you're at the top of my list.
Thank you very much! Nice to hear :)
after lots of back and forth thinking about getting a lone rider adv tent or one of these I finally ordered one of these, can't wait to try it out on my next trip
Great Gaz 😁👊🏍🏕 thank you for your trust and enjoy your first trip out with a wingman!
Looks like a good candidate for stealth camping - low profile, free standing, no flashy colors, and fast to pitch and tear down in the morning.
you're exactly right. Thats what we aimed for.
Hey thanks great video so refreshing to see triumphl motorcycle now and then love them
Great video, I recently got one of these, couldn’t be happier......
Really glad to hear that mate 👍🏻
So excited to add this to my roadtrip kit.
🙌🏼
Really excited to be ordering one shortly! I'm hoping this will be the solution for motorcycle camping and my overland 4x4 trips!!!!!!!
Would work for both for sure
I think, this would of been one of top picks if I saw this years ago while I was shopping for a motorcycle tent
Cheers! It’s not too late buddy ;)
@@wingmanoftheroad
Money is very tight
Probably should start with you being the designer of the goose. Teeheehee... Looks amazing and I'm making a note of it. Defo going to become part of my set up.✌🏽❤️
Thanks buddy 🙌🏼
Just used mines for the first time 26/08/2022 in the hills above Fort William, Scotland and i have a few little things i wanna say. First off, you need an air mattress under the foam one, the foam one just decompresses too much but you can add an air mattress (mines cost £8) and just keep it in the tent when its rolled up without adding any real bulk. Use this under the air mattress and it is comfy.
When we were camping i was initially warm but some really heavy fog rolled thorugh and i was freezing, so unless camping at the height of summer id recommend a warmer sleeping bag for the other 3 months of the year. Id also recommend another ground sheet so when you climb out of the tent you're not climbing onto wet gress or rocks.
at 6ft im at the height limit of this tent, you will not be able to use it past this really.
Hey Shaun, glad you christened your goose with a it’s virgin trip. First of many I hope!
Thanks for your initial thoughts, we always value customer feedback. Your completely right if the foam mattress isn’t enough for you, you can double up with a cheap inflatable. We chose not to use inflatables as they don’t last and we wouldn’t warranty them. As you say, it easy to pick up one cheaply if you need too.
I understand that it can get cold suddenly in Scotland. Apologies you were cold. If you want to add more warmth to our bag we recommend purchasing a sleeping bag liner. There great, cheap and can add another level of comfort if it’s partially cold. (Info regarding this is on our FAQs on our website) you can leave the liner in the roll and it won’t add to the bulk.
With regards to the the ground sheet/Tarp. This is the exact purpose of the cover. Instead of using a bag we chose to wrap the system up in a waterproof tarp. That way it’s useful and you can position it wherever you want (it is not necessary to keep the cover under the tent, the bottom of the tent is a thick PVC) hope this helps.
The dimensions of the goose one the toucan are on the website the toucan in 15cm longer (215cm). As I said thanks for your feedback Shaun and for your business. I hope you’ve got some more last minute camping planned this summer. Nice profile pic by the way ;) All the best
Ordered my tent, it only took 4 or 5 days to deliver to Canada. Set it up in the garage in 5 minutes. Looking forward to spring camping.
Glad your happy with your order Jeff, hope you’ve got some killer adventures planned 👍
Title says 3 minutes. I'd send it back!
🤣🤣
Thanks for sharing it love it new friend from Palawan Philippines
Great lookin tent and nice lookin bonnie.
Thank you
Hi great video met you in new forest last summer just bought new bikes nice job
Hi! Nice to hear from you. We remember, You and your wife were on the trip in the camper. Glad to hear you settled on the bikes you wanted. Cheers 👍🏻
Just brilliant setup guy
Cheers Claude
What a great product!
Thanks Doc! We are pretty proud of it :)
This is so cool
Wingman of the road , this tent is really interesting to me. I have a 4 day 450mile motorcycle camping trip with 2 other people. I think this would be a perfect Item for the trip and for an awesome video!
Awesome buddy! Let us know if you have any questions.
@@wingmanoftheroad hey man thanks for the comment back. I actually emailed you guys about 2 weeks about about a possible collaboration on a trip I'm doing in a couple weeks.
@@MotorcyclesOffroad ok cool. Let me know if it needs chasing up. 👍🏻
@@wingmanoftheroad I didnt hear anything back yet. I was interested in doing a review and trying to get you guys some more sales from my viewers and future viewers. I believe you have a really awesome product here. I have a 450mile 4 day motocamping trip coming up. I will be making 4-6 videos of content on the trip.
I like this it's self standing
Awesome
Wow im ordering it for my moto camping
Nice motorcycle
Brilliant
It would be cool if you guys made a roll for other tents/bags. Just a cover so users can pack all the gear they already have in a Wingman Of The Road groundsheet
Sides to The awning would be dope
so cool
I would love to try one of these. Such a cool idea 💡😎
Thanks Joe
My dream is to buy an old 1960s Triumph Bonneville, turn it into a Desert Sled and go on my wonders, the Goose Wingman would be a handy companion, I reckon. :)
Do it! Sounds perfect 👌🏼
Don't do it,use a modern bike.stop destroying classics,they ain't makeing em no more!
I would teather the other side of bike with one guy line and puck the kickstand.
Thanks for keeping the background music on low volume. Whenever the narrator has to speak over loud music, I'm gone.
This is a really nice setup.
Unfortunately I recently purchased a hammock, & have already given it a go in the backyard.
Perfect man, enjoy!
i think its more safe to put the tent on opposite side of bike leaning if it sink down in ground it will come over you when you sleep.
You can setup on the other side if you prefer. I like to have a kickstand in between me and the bike 👍🏻
@@wingmanoftheroad I think the comment was for safety. Your kickstand would need to have a wide foot attachment. What your reply suggests is that your preference overrides the importance of having your bike fall away from you ... and not put you in hospital or worse. Do you not see the real danger of the bike falling onto you on grass?
@@wingmanoftheroad … I don’t think you’ve ever ridden a motorcycle and you definitely don’t tour on one and camp , this is 1st rule of sleeping by you bike .
@@JJohnson1340 We’ve been making these systems for many years now and these comments have been coming up from day one. It’s a pretty lazy comment and not an absolute. Assess the situation your camping in. See what’s best for the bike your riding, the ground you are on and your surroundings you are in. I have a wide kickstand plate/puck I use, keep it in my jacket and throw it down when I set up camp. Do you know how many times I’ve had a kickstand disappear into the ground at night and the bike fall over….Never.
I have been at rallies before and had a drunk guy fall into my bike knocking it over slamming it heavy to the ground. It fell over on the opposite side of the kickstand. I wouldn’t want to be sleeping under it when that happened. That’s why a lot of the time I would set up with a secure kickstand between me and the bike. In some conditions I will set the wingman up on the other side for sure, sometimes I will set it up without the bike completely.
We’ve had 7 years of camping and prototyping this system in different conditions. As well as 5 years of customers using them.
I guess we never read “rule 1” about sleeping next to your bike in the owners manual. 😜 Could have saved us a lot of time 😂 anyway, to each there own buddy.
I own one of these. If the bike fell over there is more than enough room for the bike to fall beside you vs on you. 😂 Unless you’re sleeping under the awning. 😂Loving mine!
It’s the same as the Aussie swag that’s been around for years here in Australia. Still looks good though 🤘
Hey spencer! Yeah it’s a motorcycle specific, smaller, more compact bivy/ swag! Comes with a sleeping bag too which you don’t get in a traditional bivy or swags. 👍 cheers mate.
In Australia we call it a Swag...and it is very popular.
That’s right! We took all the best components of a swag and made it more compact and motorcycle specific 👍🏻
Is there a way to run a cable to attach to a tree so it doesn't get stolen while out and about at bike week
Very excited to get one of these, anyone have experience with the comfort of the mattress for shall we say, the heavier gentleman?
Just bought one, really looking forward to using. I'll let you know what I think about it
Awesome!
How is it so far?
Well
Mine just came in the mail. Tried setting it up for the first time - took me closer to 20 minutes to set up. Was afraid the sleeping bag would be too small. It isn’t.
Buffalo49 you’ll get the hang of it in no time 👍🏻 My record is 2mins 😏
Thinking about getting one. I’m 6’5”…will it fit?
FlyBry you will be best in a toucan 👍
The perfect tent for longer trips where you don’t stay a one base camp…
Wanna do a Germany to North-Cape run on my Sportster and maybe add this to my gear…
You got it buddy. If you’re travelling to a new place each day it makes things super easy and comfortable 👍🏻
A great tent and a great looking bike! Where are your pannier boxes from?
Thanks James. Those are from Craven Equipment. An old British company.
I want one
Huge package for sooooo little tent. I tought it was with a sleepingbag and matress when u had it on the mc. My huge mc tent where u can store your mc inside at night is more or less same package. Downsize package alot and i will buy the tent
It is with the sleeping bag and mattress
cool set up, but just wondering what tempurature is the sleeping bag rated for?
Hi Aka, the info on the sleeping bag and mattress is on the FAQ page of our website. Wingmanoftheroad.com
Is it possible to use a different sleeping bag and can you still roll it when you are packing it with a larger sleeping bag? So far looks like the best set up for solo riding. Looks good also
Yes! You can replace with your own sleeping bag and roll it up as normal. Although your pack size may increase a little depending on the bag you add. 👍🏻
@@wingmanoftheroad thanks for the feedback 😁👍
When will they be back in stock? Any adventure motorcyclist who has actually tried putting up a flimsy nylon tent in high winds and pissing rain will instantly get this product (well, three products in one, actually). 10kg may seem like a lot until you actually think about it.
Hey buddy. Sorry for missing this comment and not replying sooner. Thank you for your comment. Nice when people really get the product 👍🏻 We are currently in stock. All the best
Really interested in getting one of these. I just have 2 questions: 1. Will I have trouble lying down in it at 6"5? 2. Any suggestions on how to get it on the back of a HD Sportster S?
Hey Buddy, at 6.5 you’ll fit but you won’t have much wiggle room! It will be fine for you to throw up for a place to crash for the night. If your thinking about a long motorcycle trip camping every night. You would have more space in a “Toucan” as it’s longer. Having said that the “Goose” would be a better fit for a sportster. As far as attaching a wingman to the sportster, it depends on a lot of things and varies from bike to bike but customers always find a way! We recommend “Rok straps” for attaching and securing the roll. Hope this helps James 👊😊
jsut did a 11000klm trip across australia and back east coast to west coast via the desert and the GAB and then up through Victoria. Wish i knew about this setup. Do you have a video of it being put away and what size does it roll up to girth aand width? Also is the carry bag water proof? Dust proof bag etc
Wow what an adventure that must have been. Hope you and the bike are back in one piece with stories and scratches. It does sound like a wingman would be a good choice for you. The rolled up dimensions of both models are on the website. The outside tarpcover that you roll the system in, completely protects what’s inside from all the road and the weather can throw at it! It is made from a tough black canvas with a PU coating. It’s waterproof, dust proof and wipe clean. Hope this answers your questions and yes we have a pack up video. Just go into our channel it’s under “packing up your goose”
Just ordered one of these I hope I don’t have to wait too long to get it.
Did you receive it yet? What are your thoughts?
Keep us posted sam
Just got it..waiting for the weekend strap it to the bike and off to test it out. Had a practice run with putting it up and found it very easy and comfortable. I put a vertex air mattress under the tent mattress because of the built in pillow and it was even more comfortable. Will keep you posted.
Have you got a link from where you bought it from ? Thanks
I have one of these, pretty happy with it. A few comments tho. Is it better to set the tent up on the kickstand side of the bike, or the side opposite? I'm thinking of the rare possibility of the bike tipping over. The other comment I have is that it's difficult to zip up the screen, the door, and the sleeping bag while in the tent because the tent is too short to sit upright in. The way I solve this is to tie a long piece of paracord through the sleeping bag zipper and lay it out next to the bag. Once I have the tent completely closed, I grab the paracord and use it to zip up the sleeping bag while laying down. It's a very good tent but its short height presents problems such as the one above as well as that it's difficult if not impossible to change clothes inside the tent. If it were tall enough to sit up in, it would be a much better tent.
Hi Rhombus, can’t seem to see you on our customer list but maybe your using a different name? You can mount the goose at either side of your bike or not have it attached to the bike at all. Completely your choice. 🙂 Personally I like to have a secured kick stand on a piece of wood or a crushed can between me and the bike. If you have it attached the other way and your a heavy guy that didn’t peg down the tent, you roll over in the night and get a face full of bike. I don’t know how likely this is and there is no right answer. depends on the bike and the ground. You’ll instinctively know whats best for you in that situation. 👍 With regards to your chord on the sleeping bag. Haven’t heard of this being a problem before but makes perfect sense. If it works you it’s a great Great idea! Yes the goose isn’t a tent for sitting up in or spending a lot of time in whilst awake. Due to the dimensions. It is a solution to throw up quick and have a comfortable place to sleep for the night. Thank you for you feedback we really appreciate it. I Hope you enjoy it for what it is 👍
Instablaster.
Always set up on the other side of the bike. At least you are using your head and some common sense.
I just found out about this company a couple weeks ago. Do you ship to America? Or do you have a dealer here that I could go to?
Yes, we ship to the US. We only sell via our website wingmanoftheroad.com 👍🏻
It seems quite short/low, how do you change or do anything in the area between the bike and the tent?
It’s a tent for sleeping in and not much else. We designed it to be a bed for the night if you’re someone who likes to ride to a new place each day. It’s not the tent for you if you’re wanting lots of space.
They make quick pitch shower tents that are extremely compact. I have one that I use for camping, and I am going to see if it works on the motorcycle too.
Awesome product! Whats the price tag of that? Did I hear you mention it was canvas? Thats the perfect bike tent for sure.....
Hi Andy yes it is canvas. All the info and the price in your currency is on our website wingmanoftheroad.com 👍
Andy
It’s $439 (USD). That’s more affordable than $600+ for the Lone Rider Moto Tent. Yes, it has a vestibule for covering your bike but it’s a lot bigger and takes up more room than this one. I prefer the Goose for its price, easy to setup, and not taking up a lot of space on the bike.
Is the shipping world wide? If not is shipping to Canada a possibility?
Yes and we ship to Canada 👍🏻
Thanks for sharing. Good bit of kit by the looks of it; any downsides? The Kwack looks nice, too! I own a 1977 Z650b1, an absolute keeper.
Iam sure the tent itself is brilliant for sleeping in but what concerns me is when it’s pouring down you don’t have much dry area for putting your clothes back on after you get out of your sleeping bag or Iam missing something any ideas anybody ,cheers Neil 👀
It’s a small for sure Neil. Getting changed is completely doable. Although, obviously more of a challenge than in a bigger tent 👍
very nice review and may i ask where can i order
Thank you. You can order at Wingmanoftheroad.com 👍
The swag looks great, where can I buy one pls ?
Thanks. We’re pretty proud of it. The only place to buy our products is wingmanoftheroad.com
How sturdy will it be in windy conditions if NOT pegged?
Hi, I have never heard of one blowing away. However, if your leaving it at a campsite you would preferably peg it down or alternatively weigh it down with a jacket inside or something heavy and lock it up. It does have quite a bit of weight to it already being canvas and having mattress and sleeping bag inside but to be sure I would do this. If your sleeping in the tent it will be sturdy in the heavy wind even if not pegged. Hope this answers your question 👍
What saddlebag set do you use?
there Craven comets
Are you not afraid the bike will fall if the wind catches the tent on a windy day? Could get serious hurt getting a heavy bike on you while sleeping.
hi Jimmy, if your nervous about that, you can set the goose up completely separately from the bike. it doesn't need the bike for its structure. Personally, I just make sure the bike is secured properly and it doesn't worry me. However, If the wind is biblical! I wouldn't bother attaching the bike just hunker down and rest as quickly as possible.
@@wingmanoftheroad Hi. I don't know how long you've been riding but you ought to be aware that it doesn't take wind for a bike to fall over on grass when on the kickstand ... the kickstand is designed for hard standing. You seem blissfully unaware of how easily a kickstand can progressively sink on grass especially if rain comes along.
Be prepared to learn from others' experiences - it might save your life. Keep safe!
Any idea when new stock is coming ?
Hi Poppy. You can signup on our site to be the first to know when we open up pre orders for our spring batch 🤟🏻
This tent seduces me. I have some doubts that in none of the videos I saw till the moment, nobody showed or talked about.
1- The big wing when closed rests over the water poodles even if the groundsheet is in place?
2-Is it possible to maintain it clean ( not contacting with the ground)?
3- The included sleeping bag offers what type of confort and isolation? Has it two faces? Is it built in the mat cover or detachable?
4- His function is only to be a blankett or a matress cover?
4-Is it necessary to take with us a normal ( summer/winter) sleeping bag in addition?
5- The pouch provided to keep the tent poles has enough space to accommodate two additional poles for the awning?
6- The toucan allows a 1.78m/ 5"9 person to sit inside?
Thank you
Hi Fernando! Thank you for your questions. I don’t think I understand them completely so might need clarification. I’ll do my best
1: That flap when closed would either rest on the ground or you could tie the excess on flap to the center pole keeping it off the ground or alternatively tuck it under the tent or the groundsheet.
2: yes you don’t need it pegged to the ground. The goose completely keep us its own shape without pegs or the bike
3&4: The bag is 2/3 season. If your going somewhere very cold we recommend you get a winter fleece liner bag. Both the sleeping bag and mattress cover is completely detachable (all this info regarding the sleeping bag and mattress is ok the website)
5: yes the pole pouch has enough space to fit awning poles too.
6: The inside height of both the Toucan and the goose are on the website.
Hope this answers your questions!
All the best
@@wingmanoftheroad Thank you
Looks like a great setup.
However I havent seen any specific information regarding the mattress/sleeping pad/sleeping bag part of this product.
Some info regarding the thickness of the mattress(or a “R” value if available) material and/or temperature rating of the sleeping bag etc..
So we can determine what sort of temperatures this would be best suited.
The tent is definitely four season. Being canvas it keeps you warm but is very breathable and in the summer there is plenty of ventilation optionals.
The sleeping bag however is a 2-3 season bag. As it gets warm in the tent due to the small space we opted for a lighter bag to suit most climates and riders. If you are planning a winter trip or you do get particularly cold I recommend you purchase a winter liner for the sleeping bag (it’s a thin silk or fleece sack that goes inside the sleeping bag) which you can purchase from most camping/outdoor shops. Alternatively you can just remove the bag from the mattress (if you have a sleeping bag you prefer).
The mattress is high density foam. 5cm thickness.
Well, it does look simple and it’s a tempting buy . The issue I have is whether it would fit on the back of my T100, which has no rack, a bench seat and a tail tidy. Even strapped down I would be concerned with it staying on board. Please advise. Thank you .
Hi Jamie. We have had customers do it before. As you see I have a T100 myself. I have attached a Goose with Rokstraps from the frame, if you have a flat style bench seat. It is obviously more secure on a rack. That’s why I use that option.
Rockstraps for the win on anything, I've put a full oversized padded folding chair on my ktm adventure for truck shows a lot
What temperature is the sleeping bag rated at?
Hi, All the information for the sleeping bag and mattress can be found on the FAQ section on our website. Wingmanoftheroad.com
no answer, he doesn't want to say, he just wants you to buy it.
Saw one of these on a campsite in Scotland last week. Looks tidy but definitely not for me. Too close to the size of a coffin however I'm sure it will suit some people.
It’s funny you say that mate ;) we’re actually a pretty big deal in the vampire scene 🧛♀️🧛🏻♂️
@@wingmanoftheroad lol. I do like the idea of it but unfortunately I'm a bit too claustrophobic to be a customer. 👍😂
when set up i think it has to many places for the rain to collect on top , if i buy one it would be with a tarp !!!!!
Hi Stephen, towards the end of the video there’s a point when we talk about angling the awning to create a fall line for the water/rain. 👍
So it's a swag
It sure is! A more compressed motorcycle specific swag.
@@wingmanoftheroad I like it do you guys ship to aus
@@adam_1t641 Thanks, we sure do! Although shipping from the UK to AUS is quite pricey. Put in your postcode/Zip in on our website to get a total price
@@wingmanoftheroad thanks alot guys
Hmmm that awning is going to pool and direct water Back into the tent .
Hmmm I don’t think you’ve watched the full video my friend! We address this exact point about “creating a fall line” to avoid pooling towards the end of the video 👍🏻
This is a good unit no doubt but helmet is on dispaly kid you not so dont kid me !! Also how is it if you decide to stay a few nights
does it just un clip from the bike or do you take it down ??? Great item but lacks all the millions of questions that come from someone that does this all the time ??
Have you had it out in heavy rain yet.
Of course! Tried and tested in many a thunderstorm and rainy nights 👌🏼
@@wingmanoftheroad oh OK just seen some other reviews of similar tents from Australia that leaked but was down to bad stitching so this is 100% waterproof thanks for the feed back.
I would love to own this and review. It shipping to America is taxing. Any chance of a discount code?
Thanks buddy. We ship to America every day. The rates are the best we could find for an express service to the states. We don’t do discounts. We keep our price consistent and fair to all customers. All the best and safe riding!
@@wingmanoftheroad well, I purchased one last night, but in my excitement didn’t notice till after the fact it was a pre- order. Hopefully they ship in the beginning of may and not the end, as that’s when my trip is
@@wingmanoftheroad I also own the Abel brown tent, but this one looks very different and I would use for different areas. I can’t wait to compare the two
Hi Turd. I’m sorry to say it will be the end of May. Email the team if you need to cancel. Info@wingmanoftheroad.com
@@wingmanoftheroad but it will be in may right?
How much n were do i get one frompls
wingmanoftheroad.com
How is it in wind?
We use 420g canvas so it performs very well in the wind. Nylon tents will be blown around the campsite while the goose stays put 💪🏼
@@wingmanoftheroad thanks.
The only bad thing is, if you wanne close the tent completely, you always have to loose the flap from the bike again. Doenst make sense, and I don't know why you are not changing that and make a double flap on that side. Then it would be the perfect tent for bikers. The only reason me and a couple friends hasn't bought it yet is that flap construction mistake. The rest is perfect. Regards
Hi Dan, Thanks for your thoughts. I understand your concerns. There is a couple of reasons we haven’t added an extra flap. The main one being, the feedback from our customers that actually use it. Most of our customers do like having that side open or with the net. Having it attached to your bike it makes the small space seem bigger. There are very few occasions where you would want to completely close yourself in. In these rare occasions you can do it, you just wrap your gear in the extra waterproof tarp. The second reason is the extra bulk it would give to the roll. Adding an extra 2m x 1m canvas side would add significantly to the weight and size of the roll. Plus when this side is rolled up it would seriously encroach on the limited head height inside the tent. I get what your saying, really I do. It’s just So far it’s not been an issue to most of our customers so not worth the sacrifices mentioned. However, We are working on a couple of extra add on products for next year. One of which is a flap that can zip-in for customers that want that option 👍
@@wingmanoftheroad nice that you will change some thing. Pretty sure it will make a lot of people happy. I'm in a big group of bikers and all of them can't get the things that you try to explain. I can understand that the customer for now do not have a problem because they bought it like it is.
And the weight? Come on does it make a difference of 2kg? Can't be that bad. Size of the roll? How much can that be 10 cm? I don't know, but we think it can't not be a big deal... And look at the moment a lot of us use normal swags, so size and weight is heavier...
But the idea with the flap and putting stuff between tent and bike is perfect. Having it a bit more secured, but defnetly Noone of us would but the flap always from the bike or even let the tent alway open. Having a choice to have it on different ways make it more interesting for more people...
Dan Man living the Dream, As I said. We’re planning to sell an extra flap so people like yourself that want the extra flap that don’t mind about the weight and bulk will have the option to zip it on. Best of both worlds 👌Honestly give the product a go. Practically. Before you decide what you don’t like about it 👍
@@wingmanoftheroad as I said before, awesome that you change it. Then I definitely give it a go. For now it doesn't make sense for me to buy it. Cheers
Sorry….on first glance it looked like a Kawasaki W800….whoops🤔. As an aside, I’d probably take a small tarpaulin for additional ground proofing.
*See's tent* I want one!
*See's the price* .....nevermind
looks lovely when up, but having a trip requires taking many other things with you and packed this tend is just too massive :(
When everything you need to camp (tent, mattress, sleeping bag and tarp) strapped to your back seat. You have your panniers completely empty to fill with what ever else you could possibly need. How many “many other things” do you need on your trip Dino? ;)
Is there a non-hipster model?
Good one! 😜 see the replies to the same comment down the thread 👍
@@wingmanoftheroad as a concept is brilliant. But you might be focusing on a Niche Bonevile, Bell Bullet, Canvas London Hipster segment. And skipping us, the KTM, Honda, BMW etc. adv bikers, that travel and camp a lot. Not only for Instagram.
Do a similar model, going towards Lonely Rider. More modular and I’ll send you my money.
Nevertheless, congrats, looks good.
@@gerboblitz we don’t discriminate. We have all sorts of bikers on all sorts of bikes. Bikers that are attracted to the ease, design and functionality of the product that we make for motorcycle camping. We’re all bikers here in the office :) got a couple of guys on BMWs at the moment riding from Germany to New Zealand for example. These customers haven’t been sponsored by us they paid full price and chose us as they feel like we have the best tool/product for the job :) We don’t claim to appeal to everybody but people who get it, like it. We do a lot of touring ourselves and we designed this product for us. All the best
Are not you worried at all about kick stand dig in fall over.
No. Doesn’t worry me as I make sure the bike is secure. I use a rock or can as a kickstand plate when on soft ground. You can have the tent setup independently to the bike if you wish.
Why does everyone always set up on the low side of the bike ? Ever see a kickstand sink into the ground and the bike fall over ?
I always set up on the opposite side so I don’t get crushed by my 900 lb Harley
A very valid point!!
You can set up the goose on the other side if you wish. Or completely separate from the bike all together. No problem Jeff. It’s personal preference. I have a kickstand plate and am confident in my ability to secure it. Personally I like a kick between me and the bike. In case a person or animal falls into the bike and the bike falls on the tent when I’m sleeping. What ever makes you sleep easier ;). Both scenarios, a person falling into the bike or a kickstand sinking are unlikely. Personally, I feel like I can control the latter by confidently securing the bike with a log or kickstand plate. Either way we haven’t had any customers with problems with this. People can judge and use common sense 👍
So it’s just a swag?
It sure is! A more condensed and compact motorcycle specific swag. Also has the sleeping bag included.
Klo warna ijo.. udah kyk keranda

Please turn the bike around. So it won’t crash on you.
22 lbs!?! Hilarious! Something I’d expect to see in a WWI trench warfare museum.
Sorry but when showing you need to show everything and you did not never presume folk know what you are doing/ saying You did not
show how to clip the centre pole to gain tightness etc etc but it is a good unit without doubt !!
These aren't a tent if you carry ya bedding in them. There a newer style of a Aussie Swag where they still use Canvas for them. A swag is a traditional Australian canvas bad roll with a mattress inside. Basically, it is a large sleeping bag with a built-in mattress. Essentially looking like a small one person tent, these swags zip up the entire way, covering your whole body including your head. Perfect for every season, being waterproof from rain, warm for winter, and bug proof for the hotter months.
my pal bought one , it made his road king look so small , it was so big .. we all laughed so hard , near fell off our bikes when he pulled up
He went home and grabbed his old tent and sleeping bag , you know .. lightweight camping gear been around for years now .
He never did end up using it .
I always say to each there own. Sounds like you bullied your pal and made fun out of his new camping gear and the fact he wanted to give something else a try. Great friends you are 😬👎. Some people care to much about what others think. I hope your buddy actually uses the product he bought, notices the benefits of canvas and ease of our system and laughs at you guys on his next camping trip. He might still think it’s to big for him and go back to his old plastic tent but I hope he would make that decision on his own. Ride safe Johnson 👍
That's awesome if your short but what if your tall Lol
The Goose is 200cm long. The larger model the toucan is 215cm 👍🏻
This looks like a downsized but exact reproduction of the Hi Country Swag
Hi tech, I’ve never heard of that particular swag. However, The wingman is a swag/bivvy but much more motorcycle specific. That’s why we have a lot of Aussies who love swags but want something compact enough to use on a motorcycle buying our product.
@@wingmanoftheroad Fair enough
The Goose and the toucan are chinese made.
Hi Mike there is very little difference between the two. The toucan is about 30% bigger in every way. Which is right for you? It really depends on what what bike you have and how big you are. Cheers
That’s not only small but super heavy at 10kg Why not just get a a decent 2 man backpacking tent. Lighter (>2.5kg) larger, cheaper and easier to set up. Or a one man trekking pole tent at < 1kg and packs down to the size of a 1ltr water bottle. Don’t get the idea at all sorry. So it slashing down where you going cook in comfort you can’t sit up in it. What do you if you want invite the mrs etc. why use canvas when there so many lighter materials options. Did I see fibreglass poles! It must be like having a pillion on the back of the bike, mind you doesn’t look like you take the triumph too far off the road. Well done for the idea but why re-invent the wheel.
Hi Andrew,
If you want a light weight backpacking tent this isn’t the system for you. There are many great options if weight is your primary focus it’s best to stick to a synthetic plastic tent. As we designed this for motorcycle travel not backpacking we can get away with more weight, we chose to use the best material for the job not the lightest.
There are so many benefits with canvas compared to plastics. One massive reason is comfort and the fact that it breathes, you can have a single layer of canvas that’s waterproof and also eliminates any condensation. Unlike plastic tents when you need an inner and an outer tent and all the inner tent does is keep you away from the wet and condensation on the inside of the outer tent. Canvas is also massively robust. Fantastic in high winds. The list goes on.
More info on why we chose canvas can be found on our website under “why canvas”
We don’t make just a tent. It’s and all in one camping solution with sleeping bag and mattress included. Made to “roll out and roll in” easily in the dark after a long ride.
We don’t claim to be everybody’s cup of tea, but customers who are actually using our design and products out on the road get it and like it. We appreciate that.

Thanks for your comment Andrew. I hope I explained a little bit about why we do what we do.
you coulda put it up faster if you'd get a haircut pretty boy
Bitter about the days when you once had hair Dave? ;)
Wind might yank your bike over on top of you, no thanks. canvas, really? Heavy, folds big sets up small and not waterproof. Sorry, I'll pass.
Ok armadillo safe to say it’s not for you ;) your a plastic only sort of guy, I get it 😉👊 by the way our canvas it is waterproof. I could talk to you all day about the benefits of canvas but I don’t think it would sway you. Safe riding 🏍
