I am still angry about fb. Why do you want to collect this location information and who besides the members of the forum will have access to it?

 

I'm not sure why we even ask any questions really.  This site has been running since 2005 and we haven't even put anything into a table, spreadsheet, etc.  The only people that could look at this information is the Ford Motor Co.  We don't share with anyone outside of Ford - no 3rd parties....

The way I see it, the main usefulness of having this information would be to find local forum members, in case we want to get together for a cars & coffee, work on cars together, or whatever.  I see no issue having my location info posted.

I agree!  I belong to several Goldwing sites and am a moderator on two of them.  We use the members map for many things.  If Im heading out west, it's nice to send a PM to those who live along my route to see if they want to meet up for a bite/coffee or if they want to ride together for a while.  It's very useful when you break down (which rarely happens on a Goldwing) to be able to contact someone and help is there before you know it.  Sometimes it's not a matter of physical help, if Im stuck in California, I have no idea who is a better or trusted mechanic, tow people, hotels etc......  Having access to local information when needed is extremely helpful.

 

I agree, the internet is not a nice place all the time, but Im not putting up personal information.  People on the Goldwing forums offer their information to me personally, so I have their cell phone #, emails or even address so if someone breaks down, they have one (or 3) contacts and I will help get them the assistance they need.

 

If any of you are Goldwingers, then you are more than likely also familiar with our "Gold Book".  Its a book of literlly thousands if Goldwingers around the country that offer their name, number and address, and the services that they are willing to offer, up to and including, I have a spare room your welcomed to and will offer you a meal or two.

 

Forums are sometimes much more than the article for which we are all here, we are really here because of us!
