Tour Guides

I have noticed a bit of talk around the “tour” guide from time to time and wonder of it's time to put this on the BMWOR website, rather than publish a hard copy.  It could be updated from time to time by the administrator and would make be a great resource for anyone who had access to a computer, as most of us do today.  The idea could be phased in as new members are added to the register or renewals occur.  What do you think????

I am not normally one to worry about my privacy, but if the Tour Guide were to go online, it would need to be available ONLY via authorised subscription. I don't have a problem with Joe or Jolene Public having access to our waffle here - if anything it would demonstrate to bikers of other marques that those whose scoot is a Bimmer are as much of a riff-raff as any other kind of biker, bless our cotton socks.That said, it is an easy thing to provide a password protected database for private use, and if someone was silly enough to share their password and I wound up with some hoon wearing 200 body piercings, a coal-scuttle helmet, and pedalling a rat-bike Harley knocking at my door saying, "Hey, cuz, I saw your name in the Bimmer Tour Guide, can me an the missus pitch a tent onya lawn?", I'm fairly sure I know what my answer would be.If I was so lucky as to ever get time off to go touring, to be honest, I think my approach would be to contact someone from this forum, whose opinions and degree of sense of humour I have some indication of from their posts, and ask them about "Tour Guide" type assistance when I was passing through their patch. I'm a bit of a shy boy with total strangers, but with this marvellous device sitting on my office desk I feel I half way know some of you already.

If I could have said it better, I would have done.  Sum-ed up in 251 words (give or take a few) us r1000s owners know a thing or two.  Regards Phil
