the rule is that you need to write a 20+ page epic writeup of your trip if you want people to host you passing through  ;)

on that note, El Mat and I found some great hosts last summer just by posting up on the local boards, although some locals are much more active than others. Ours here in Houston kind of fails. No one comes to visit us....I wonder if all these endless straight highways have anything to do with that...

Just be careful when passing through Ft. Myers, Florida.

Luckily...

I'm nowhere near Ft. Myers.

I seem to recall an old thread listing member locations along with available aids to wayward travelers like extra garage space, couch, tools, pick-up truck, etc. Can't remember if that was ToB or a different forum.


On a somewhat related note. I recently started working at a hotel and found that you should always call a hotel to double check any prices that you get online. Like say you get a room at a Days Inn from Orbitz at rate X. Call the Days Inn and see what that room actually costs. It ain't always cheaper online.

this is great advice!!

So who has a comfy sofa for me and my dog to crash on in Flagstaff, Albuquerque, Oklahoma City or Little Rock during the first week of June?  ;)

If you end up coming further north through Utah, You've got a place.
Bikes I've jumped and/or crashed:
84 Kawasaki KDX 80 - Bike i learned to ride on when I was young(er)
84 Kawasaki KDX 200 - First naked bike. crashed so frequently the plastics wouldnt stay on.
99 KTM 620 - If you could even get the thing kick started in the first place...
02 Yamaha Zuma - not a motorcycle but still crashed and jumped it way too many times.
04 Harley Road King Classic - Awesome story behind this
06 Ducati S2R 1000 - neither.... yet.

I-40 route (66) right there!  I used to live on Rt. 66 in Flagstaff.  I can't believe it was 13 years ago!  It's a long 4 hour stretch between Flag and ALBQ!  Whatever you do..don't stop any longer than you have to in Gallup!! 

BTW..if you have to stop in/around ALBQ overnight, try to get to the East side so you aren't caught in rushhour.
