Not really wild camped with the bike but basic rules in Scotland are to leave no footprint, no camping on farmers land without permission, camp site must be more than 150 yards from any road, no camping in one place for more that 48 hours, no open fires.
You can usually pitch on farmers land if there are no livestock in the area, pitch as late as possible in the evening, leave pitch at sunrise or as near too making sure you have left no evidence. If a farmer challenges you, apologise, thank them for use of the land and leave but most I've come across have been nice enough.
With regards to camping with the bike and concealing it has had me thinking about buying a camo tarpaulin to use as a screen with bungie cords.
For one night camping I'll use the tarp for a shelter. If I plan to camp for longer then I'll take the tent.
