    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Motorcycle friendly hotel/motels

Thought I would post this thread to a local (BC) chain of motels trying to attract the motorcycle crowd.
Have a look at their link.
Apparently the new GM is a bike guy and decided to do this, very cool.
Some of the things they do are...

Supply covers for your bike

Supply chains and locks and a secure hook in cement for lock down

Bike wash station with towels included

Anyone else have motorcycle friendly places to stay?
 
The Harley Owners Group has had an arrangement with Best Western for several years now. The perks don't match those of the Accent Inns in the original post.

I motorcycle travel a lot and for me bike perks aren't as important as the property's layout. I greatly prefer what is referred to as "exterior corridor." This is the classic motel configuration with your room door opening directly to the outside. I like being able to park my bike right outside of my room. Unloading, loading, keeping an eye on the bike, and tinkering with it are so much easier. Almost all of the major chains now only build on the hotel floor plan--multiple floors, elevators, and interior hallways. The one national chain which does have a large number of exterior corridor properties is Quality Inn. They are part of the Choice Hotels group.

It would be nice to stay in the classic old motels, the ones now owned and run by the Patel clan. But there is not a good online way to find and book them along your route; and they are often located along the main travel routes of fifty years ago, not the ones today.

If ever in Taos NM. Stay at the El Pueblo Lodge! Great place, 1950's motor court thoroughly updated. Park in front of your door. 5min. walk to mid-town.
