Default Yo... Where you at?!

got to think'n about OSP and Drewpy's trouble and thought it'd be nice to know where everyone is so if need be we can call for some help or meet up for a ride!

I put myself down as in Keesler AFB in Gulf Port Mississippi... it's probably where I'm gonna end up if the MTL package goes through (cross fingers). any member of TWFix is welcome at my place any time!

OSP... you sleep in the garage though...

I don't know if this helps but I belong to "Rescue Riders" over Yahoo's Victory Digest Group. (Dedicated to Victory motorcycles) its a Data Base that lists location, resources available and a contact point.
So for instance I am in South West NH, I have a Pickup truck, Open Trailer Tools, Garage, and Bike lift. I will routinely ride out a 100 miles to help someone. There is no charge for anything (but if you can cover gas and a beverage of choice that is cool) The idea is not to leave you at the mercy of a stealership.
I am not a tech guy but if someone with some skills wants to write the data base I am in. Oh and if you are headed to Laconia drop me a note and I will send you my contact number

Let's not use frappr, I will download a hack that will use google maps and can be added to the site itself.

Awesome!

I'm down to help anyone I can get to... though not sure how much help I'll be... but at least I can give ya some company or a lift and a place to crash if ya need.

Great idea!!! Not just for assisting those in need, but on other forums, I know of people who've done cross country trips on two wheels without ever having to pay for a hotel, since everyone offered up guest rooms/couches along the way.

Yup... I'd been thinking of doing this while planning my trip... but it was the current issue that OSP and Drewpy are having that got me to actually post it up...

Had to do frappr in the end, the map hack I wanted has a lot of problems.

edit: this mod sucks
