John,

I'm coming to the Westy group (as of last weekend, hooray!) from many years
riding BMW motorcycles around the country.  One thing I've learned from them
is to not panic, use my head, and there's probably a way to get home.  Which
is exactly what happened bringing the van home from CA to Vegas this
weekend.  I'll read through the archives before I hit the list with my
problem, though.

The BMW Owner's Association publishes a list of riders who have volunteered
to be rescuers and I keep a copy in my tank bag for the inevitable.  Is
there any way to print out a comprehensive list of volunteers country-wide
from your new site that I can keep in a tool kit?  (I'm still figuring out
how to get internet access in the Westy.)

Thanks for the work.  I know I'll be using it.
