    I thnk it would be 'way cool if people started defecting from AAA to them. It would tell AAA that not everybody is focused on cruising in their automobiles at the expense of everything, and it would tell LAB that not everybody is a Lance wannabee [There has been some strife and turmoil in the past about the focus of LAB and what some folks felt was overemphasis on teh 'recreation industry' aspect of it.]

    it only tells AAA if they know why you left. If you do join a Better World write AAA and let them know. Otherwise someone in accounting just goes "huh? what's with our numbers?"

    R'dog, I'm in.

    Car only so far.

    Gotta say, AAA has been very good to me doing things like one time I called from the road, car broke down and I did not realise my membership lapsed. The gal sent for the truck and took my payment. They could have said "too bad" but probably saw how long I've had them.

    There's a lot that's good about them. It's so hard being politcally correct.

    I would to be in for the bike. We have AAA. I have been with them 25 years. I use them mostly for maps and tour books and really like that aspect. But I worry so much when I am riding. I usually ride by myself, not out of choice, but because I just end up riding by myself.

    Mt-

    I sent her an email back last night to confirm that she's ok that we're not an official "club," though I will be sending her contact info off to other clubs.

    If they're cool with just a bunch of us forum members wanting to join, then I assume we have to figure out the process for our "club." Not sure if there's a code we'd have to input or what.

    Right now since their question is more related how many I can give them some ball park number...

    I just sent Susan Octenas an email to give her a heads up on this thread and hope she's ok with it as well.

    If Susan and Better World are ok, then I'll start a new thread so that it's not buried here and other forum members can be more aware of the offer as well. For now, I'll just keep it on the "down low" until I get more official go ahead.

    Dang.. I feel like I'm at work!

    Ok..

    Susan's ok with this if we do this as member initiated thing. If bwc wants more then she'd have to look into it further.

    Is anyone else interested in bike/ auto insurance?

    I've sent them another email to see where they are. Haven't heard back from them since I sent them a floow on email.
