This looks like the worst ever for just walking out and leaving everything.
Bike rallies aren't like this now I hope?
While basic tents are cheap enough it seems extraordinarily lazy and wasteful to just leave them along with sleeping bags, stools etc as litter.
As well as the mountains of other obnoxious litter |

The last bike rally I went to was the Farmyard in Helmsley a few years back, and the mess was nothing like that. People picked up all the rubbish around their own tents and fires and put it into black bags. Different audience... ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

Personally I'd just search for the nearest hotel or AirBNB to the event and stay there, in the dry, with a toilet
and shower available. Camping was fun when I was a teenager but not anymore thank you. I prefer sleeping
in beds and whatnot. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

Last years Dragon was a bit like that, but that was due to the carnage wreaked by a named force 10 storm that came through overnight. Sustained 100+mph winds and biblical rain. A lot of people just jumped on their bikes and left before they became a casualty. It was 2 weeks before they could get onto the field with a 4x4 to even start the cleanup. That said, there were entire houses lying in the streets/rivers that weekend, never mind tents.
Turns out the best tents are Decathalon pop-ups. Who knew? I even saw vango force 10s with buckled poles. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

Totally agree but i wonder how many were left after the souped-up teens couldn't even find their way back to their tents? ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750
