Riding to Sturgis? Don is an old school biker dude who makes a kickass bedroll called the Gypsy Biker Bedroll, which has seen the most hardcore mofos through long road trips. Don often tells people that the Gypsy Biker Bedroll is “a little past comfortable…According to Don, his Bed Rolls are not made for the rider who has an itinerary and hotel reservations. The Gypsy Biker Bedroll is made for the dude who is following the wind and living the life. ” He has no tent. He has no sleeping bag. He has the wind and somewhere, a cold beer waiting to be turned into piss…
Don searched for a waterproof outer cover and settled on a 10oz. cotton duck tarp. He folded the tarp in half and fastened the bottom and half of one side with hand-driven copper rivets. For the rest of the side he attached silver snaps to close it up. He found a couple of Mexican-style blankets and placed them inside the folded tarp. Rolled up, the Gypsy Biker Bedroll is around 8″ in diameter and 24″ in length. When unrolled, his bedroll is 4′ by 6′. That’s enough room to get the rest of your gear inside in case it rains. Some Sturgis travelers might find this useful! I am Don Wood. (thanks J. Adams)
