Just to be clear, I am not paid to endorse any person, place, or thing! The following entities are those with which I have had personal interactions and have found them to be either inspirational or a great resource – or in some cases, both! I make no claims or promises as to the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of these resources, so take what works for you and leave what doesn’t 😊
Bunk-a-Biker
A worldwide community of motorcycle riders who voluntarily provide accommodations to traveling bikers. It’s a self-moderated network to be utilized along the road for meeting new friends, making road family, and getting support for maintenance needs. Though no fee is charged for lodging, its purpose is to promote the togetherness and support of a motorcycle-enthusiast community, not just to provide free accommodations.
