Break down, List of members Options

[sb914]

So,
Do we or didn’t we have a list of available members who can lend a hand or let someone park there car when broke down. We had a member break down on the way home from the wcr . It would be nice to have a list of peeps that could help out .
I’ll put my name on the list if it exists?

BMW Motorcycle Owners of America prints a book, ironically named "Anonymous", which lists members and their contact info. I rode with it in my side bag for such occasions.

Fortunately, I never had to use it, but I always wondered if I actually would; I tend to be more introverted in person and I'm not sure I'm comfortable cold-calling a stranger at who-knows-what-hour to get assistance.

However, with social media (and forums) and ubiquity of smartphones today, it's usually quite easy (after calling AAA) just to post a new SOS, letting folks know where I am and what I need; no cold-calling someone wondering if they're really willing and able to help; those that are willing to help will be all over a forum/social media post.

That said, I'm in Middletown CT and always willing to help...but given I shoot unknown phone numbers straight to voice mail I'd definitely see your call for assistance here first...
