Traveling by Motorcycle. Need storage!

[Two-Wheeled-Adventure]

Hello all,

This is my first year at burning man and I'm traveling by motorcycle with a friend also on his bike. The issue we're going to have is transporting enough water for the two of us for the week. I was wondering if anyone was willing to link up possibly in Reno which is where we'll stock up on supplies. All I ask is if someone has the space in there ride to transport water and non perishable food? I can offer up my services in helping set up your camp, offer gas money, or anything else you deem as reasonable compensation.

Cheers

what about a trailer?

That is an awesome little trailer.

Some Theme Camps have meal plans & a group water purchase, in exchange for work & dues. These are not considered basics (placement, shade and maybe a shower are the most typical basic amenities).

See the 2013 Theme Camps orum--there are still a number of camps looking for members.

Welcome to eplaya.
Yes, as Savannah said, there are camps that have the basics, including some meals. You should figure on 2 gallons (or around 4 liters) of water per day. I would also suggest some energy bars in your saddle bag, just in case you get hungry.

What day are you planning on arriving and leaving Burning Man? Do you have a tent and sleeping bag?

I'm hoping to arrive by the first day but may get pushed back to the second. I'll be living out of a tent and have a sleeping bag. I want to bring everything I need and not have to rely on the kindness of others. If the opportunity presents itself I may take advantage but I want to know I don't need to. I've done long overlanding trips on my bike before with nothing or no one around for miles. I just haven't taken on the desert yet. Now that I know Gerlach is an option for water my concerns have lessened. Thanks for the feed back. What would really be interesting is if I managed to bring enough water to gift as well... Let the motorcycle nay-sayers put that in there pipe and smoke it. Thanks for the reply.

Cheers
