I know this is entirely :offtopic: Whirlpool bought out Maytag in 2006; I would not be surprised if both of those models were made in the same factory (just like Ford & Mercury). However, I would note that they do make at least some of their appliances in the US (or, at least, they were still doing so recently). (I have a relative who worked for Maytag up until the 2006 acquisitions.) Ron

Kev, That is just super sharp! Nice job integrating the gen6 bags on the gen4 tail! Ron

A 95 should be a 4th gen - same as the 94 that StelvioOrBust posted here as a naked bike (although I think that he's using the windshield from a CBR600F4i...). Ron

It's not the same tent, but there is a $100 version on sale on REI's outlet site here. (I have no experience with this tent, I just did a quick search of REI's Outlet site.) Ron

I'll second Mark5948's recommendation for Eureka tents. I use a Eureka Backcountry 2 tent (here at CampMor) when I am solo-motorcycle camping. I've had it for several years and am very happy with it. It packs down considerably smaller than most other tents I've seen - great for carrying on the bike without taking up much room. Setup is a piece of cake. (Emphasis added. -Ron) I can quickly & easily put this tent up even after a long and tiring day in the saddle. A "two man" tent is typically cozy for two people, but it's great for a solo motorcyclist WITH GEAR. Or, when the wife & I are car camping, it has enough room for two sleeping bags, but not much else. Note that this tent does not appear to be made anymore - it's not listed at Eureka's website anymore. I also use a Eureka Timberline 4 tent (here) for two-up motorcycle camping trips A "four man" tent gives us plenty of room for our sleeping bags AND our riding gear. But, when packed down, it is still 24" long (due to the length of the pole segments). The Timberline 2 is still made & available, so it's smaller - but the pole segments are just as long. Prior to acquiring both of these tents, we used a several cheaper tents (from Walmart, etc.) with fiberglass poles. After numerous pole failures with each of those tents, we realized that perhaps spending a little bit more for a higher quality tent (the 2 Eureka's listed above, both of which use aluminum poles) would provide more durability. And it has. With those two endorsements out of the way, there are other tents available - Aerostich lists several, and Chase Harper offers a pole-free tent (for which you can use your bike as a tie-down point). Good luck, however you decide. Ron
