Could we , should we start a list ?
If you ever wander on down here to Las Vegas look me up. I'll show you some Las Vegas hospitality
what I'm thinking about is that any of us who is HONESTLY willing to open our home to a fellow traveling biker could sign ourselves up on this list . giving our location , contact information and proximity ot places of possible interest or events or dealers or whatever . this would make it a little easier and a little less expensive for travelers if they could stop at a fellow members place when passing through . not to mention the way it could bring people together as friends . and how better to show you around some area than someone who lives there and knows all the cool places to go and things to see .
what does everyone think ? has it been done ? would you be willing to sign up ? I would , so lets see if enough other people would .

I another forum I visit has a list of people with trailers or trucks that are willing to help anyone stranded. Kind of a nice gesture and I'm sure useful to some when they need it.

In all honesty does it really make sense for someone with kids to allow a stranger into their house that they know nothing about? I have some friends on the forum that I trust and would have no problem doing this for them, but to just allow anybody off the internet, or street, into your home isn't very smart.
Just my opinion.

With the average age of a Harley rider being something like 55 , I don't many have little kids at home . AND if they felt that way they just would not sign up , right ? I DID specify it would just be for people who wanted to .

If your rollin down 75 and your north of dallas needing a place to crash, I would help out. Its just my a pops here, he has alzheimers so he doesnt mind and we can always use some company.
Its just the couch but people are welcome to it.
I think it is a good idea to start a list.

This isn't really about your post, but quoted so you would know this was to you...
Your bike reminds me of the '95 FLHR I had, same two tone red and all. One of these days, I need to scan some of the photos I have of it. Thanks for reminding me of an old friend.

Funny, just yesterday I was thinking about IA's Hoka Hey ride and thought it would be cool if when I retired I bought a bagger, and toured the lower 48 and maybe even ride to Alaska. I could time the return with Sturgis and then come home. Probably would would take 3 months. Anyway, I figured if the time came I could post my plans here and maybe meet various members from around the country as I passed through their state. It crossed my mind that some might offer their couch but, didn't know of I'd feel comfortable enough to accept. That said, I don't think my wife would go along with me offering ours to a stranger with kids here.
