    Camping "TENT" on a three day trip?

    Anyone know of a decent tent I could pack on my 08 FZ1 for a three day camp? I have brand new saddle bags and an okay tank bag, but no handle on a tent and small sleeping pad I could pack on a bike. I have only camped with cars and trucks. I am also 6'2". Thanks
