Freeway homestay?

**cowboyz** · 22nd December 2009, 09:28

I got this email today for freeway homestay that is starting up next year. On the surface it kinda sounds like a good idea but the cynic in me tells me its just some muppet making $$ for nothing.

we have never had any trouble finding places to stay and kiwibikers are always willing to put up a stranger.

thoughts? Is this going to take off?

I got one too ... I am a cynic .. and don't understand where they got my details from

**cowboyz** · 22nd December 2009, 10:02

yeah, that too... not sure how they got my email address....

This was from the survey that was completed earlier in the year by some of us. Results were published in another thread. The guy who completed the survey is the founder of this business and that will be where he got your contact details from.

I also wondered how they got my address....

Could it be related to that survey guy?

Apart from KB possibly releasing it that's the only way I can assume they got it as I haven't supplied it to anyone else.

I got an email direct from the survey guy with the invite to the Freeway Homestay website. It's definitely his setup.

Looks like it's $35 a year for membership too. Don't think I'll be going for it, no one would want to stay in my dump...

It's the home owners you need to be wary of...

It could be dodgy, these days you never know what people are capable of. You might wake up in the morning with your big screen TV and bike gone. Or you might wake up with some strangers cock up your ass.

So ya'll got me email then?

It may work well and not all motorcyclists are on KB. It will be interesting to see if it gets support from Ulysses members and those thousands who ride Harleys. I will keep my options open - wait and see.

pfft $$$ to sign up - and they think they will get people all over the country.

That will work - Yeah Right.
