    camping stool

    My local cheapo hardware shop is selling these for £1! How cool is that! At that price Dave could get XRV ones made up. And they even fit easily into my topbox.

    could you cable tie it to the bike's frame or something?

    it looks more comfy than an Africa Twin seat

    How strong is it? How light is it? May have to ask you to buy me a few and post them over.

    I've got one of them - it straps neatly to the side of my Bergan on exercise and I swear by it - for a quid you cant go wrong - good point about the back though - it might be the reason mine is knacked?........

    I strap mine on top of all my camping crap every time, then when I am forced to remove some stuff so the bike goes more then 30mph, it gets chucked back in the garage.

    1 Varadero/17,000 miles ridden (of 40,000 miles on the bike), it's all still new to me!

    Downside: They get a lot lower during the evening if you're camping on soft ground.

    Yeah, but then as the chances of you falling off it increase with the amount of beer partaken, the chances of injury are correspondingly decreased the closer to the ground it gets with the added bonus of being eventually able to just roll over and go to sleep.......
