Just in time for the riding season

anonymous

The 2010 BMW Motorcycle Owners of America Anonymous book was about the only interesting thing in today’s mail.

Now that I’ve scanned it for this blog entry, it’ll go into the tank bag on my K1200GT.

anonymous2 The Anonymous book is a 5”x7” 222-page paperback that has a state-by-state, city-by-city list of BMW MOA members who stand ready to help you if you have trouble on the road. Each listing is anonymous, in that there is no name – just a phone number – and codes like c (camping or tent space), ws (space to work on a motorcycle), wt (tools for working on a motorcycle), ss (storage space), or t (truck or trailer available). It also lists all of the BMW motorcycle dealers in the U.S. and Canada (including the recently defunct dealership in Little Rock), as well as important contacts worldwide. There are lists of phone numbers for motel chains, airlines, car rental, railroads, traveler’s checks, and on and on.

I never leave for a trip without mine. Last year’s will go into the saddlebag of Maria’s K75S.
