For security, please do not include your address (that can be given directly by phone.) Either enable public email in your profile and I'll link your profile to your name or break it up like this: randall (dot) temple (at) bigfoot (dot) com.

Cell phone numbers are all unpublished.  Yes, some people may have unpublished home numbers too.  Furthermore some people may not want their private information on the internet and easily searchable.  This may be due to internet related personal qualms or due to the profession in which they may find themselves. People who object, for whatever reason, to having their full name and contact info online, will obviously refrain from joining this list as its currently setup, even though most would probably be willing and able to lend a hand to a traveler in need.  I think its a great idea and its great to see people joining in!!  Thanks again for your work on this Randall! 1983 CX650 Turbo 1982 CX500 Custom Donating Member    Report

If someone has an unlisted number and doesn't want it published, it doesn't have to be included.  My intention was that a traveller would need to record only the info pertinent to his trip, contacting members along his planned route before setting out if more info is needed.  There really only needs to be one means of contact to the person offering assistance.  The rest can be collected directly. If anyone wants his listing changed, just let me know. Thanks, R '78 CX500 - Black Maggot --> Green Grub / Yellow Grub / Red Grub ???    Report

02-17-2009, 3:43 PM DavidfromWisconsin Joined on 03-19-2008 Appleton, WI Posts 2,458 Re: HTTA Travellers' Assistance I know this is already rolling, but some food for thought. BMW, Harley, and Honda Goldwing groups have books with cities and phone numbers with service codes in them without names or addresses. By listing the state first, you can more easily find someone close to you. For example: T = for tools TR = for trailer for hauling W = for work space M25 = woud mean 25 miles is what a person is willing to travel to help someone R = for room B = for bedroll space TC = for tent camping in their yard There are a few others I can't think of right now. That way they can't look you up in a phone book, like if they have your name. So for me it would read: Wisconsin, Appleton 920-733-1925 T, W, M25, R, B, TC David From Wisconsin ...

I don't know if there is any copyright on the name, but BMW calls their book the "Anonymous Book."  I think it should be made real clear that anyone can turn down helping anyone for any reason. Just as a FYI in 20+ years in the BMW book I have gotten 3 phone calls and I had to turn down one because I had company at the time, but I referred the person to someone else who I knew from the book. I know this can work ... and I will find out what letters of code I couldn't remember and get them to you. David From Wisconsin ...

Why not delete this whole thread and start over using David's guidelines. Pretty sure it wouldn't be hard to update the thread to David's guidelines. I don't see why we don't just use the User Id's as it wouldn't reveal our names and still lets you know who the person kind of is. Then later on create another post checking the box that says don't allow replies. Then it can be edited by the creator. I was thinking about doing this again for the quick reference just to make things easier.  Then at the bottom in case this thread gets lost put if you have any ideas or want to be added to the list email or pm this person. 1978 Honda Cx500 Maggot 1979 Honda Cx500 Custom 1980 Cx500 Deluxe Buy HTTA Items Quick Reference Info    Report

02-18-2009, 10:49 AM Randall-in-Mpls Joined on 07-06-2007 Minneapolis, MN Posts 2,629 Re: HTTA Travellers' Assistance OK, there have been a number of ideas raised.  I'll respond to each separately. Spreadsheet: While a spreadsheet would be useful, I think transferring the info back to the thread each time there's a change would be more work than alphabetizing manually.  I have no intention of making a printed book from this.  I wanted this to be accessible on the forum without downloading a pdf or needing Excel.  I could do it as a pdf download, but it's a lot more work to update. Assistance codes: I don't see the need.  Codes are OK in a printed list, but online I hate having to scroll to the top or bottom of a page to find the key.  I've tried to keep them to one line. Personal info: I'll include as much or as little information as the source wants posted.  If it's just location, handle, and a bot-proof email or phone number, that's fine by me.  I can remove last names from the standard format, if there's enough concern over that.  I like including first names, so you know who to ask for when you call. Locked thread: Not a bad idea, but right now, it's this discussion that keeps the thread where people can see it.  A locked thread would fall off the first screen pretty quickly.  If we can get it stickied, I'll transfer the list to a new locked thread and delete this one.

All that I can do is to pass on his kindness to other travelers. ~Thom 1982 GL500I - "Couchy" 65,000 miles down... 35,000 to go. www.trainwiththom.com    Report

02-21-2009, 4:26 PM DavidfromWisconsin Joined on 03-19-2008 Appleton, WI Posts 2,458 Re: HTTA Mutual Aid Bryan, My wife won't eat venison! I like it. She will eat lobster. When we travel together, we do it on the BMW and to be honest I have never even seen the coils (if indeed it even has coils) on the bike. She refers to her seat at the Lazy Boy seat. It has a heat seat and backrest on it. She is getting so particular she won't even ride on the Honda any more ... but she will ride by herself on a little KZ440LTD a few times a year. We were camped within spitting distance of Peggy's Cove when Marci met the black flies. for the first time. I looked at her and told her to wipe her face ... and her hand came away all bloody. She soon learned that when they took a bite she couldn't feel it until the blood started running down her face. I had warned her and she didn't believe me. She learned quickly what can happen. Here is a thumbnail to click on to see what she did to protect herself. It was about 80 degrees and he had on long sock, her rain suit, a big hat with mosqito netting and gloves. She still got a few bites. I wore a t shirt, shorts and a baseball cap and I only got bit twice. The scenery was awesome though and we loved it there and are definitely are going back, but we will make sure the big hatch is over before we go again. Here are a couple of other thumbnails from that trip. Just click if you want to see a larger version of the photo.   David From Wisconsin ...
