At least one German paddler I know is using an ordinary Pouch double folding
kayak (long bag and short bag) when travelling with his wive and a
motorcycle (with sidecar). The cult factor is incredibly high and from what
I've heard, it is functional as well.

If he should ever get to Germany, there are hugh piles of used folding
kayaks. Check www.faltboot.de/dt/kleinanzeigen.html for an impression
(German, but you'll get the message).
