Create a new topic area for "Emergencies"

[Brentc]

Would there be any merit in creating a new topic area " For emergencies only" that people could use if they were stranded, couldn't get their bike started, out of gas etc..... If so and this forum could be made one of the ones you could subscribe to on the "Tapatalk" app I could see that being a very useful tool for all of us to help and be helped in those rare but inevitable situations.

Worth thinking about--but that will ultimately be up to the site administrator.

I do note, that emergency posts are usually answered within minutes of the original post, even without a special slot to put them in.

:agree: The problem with a special section would be... How many folks are going to monitor it? Emergencies list in the "General Discussion" section usually get answered fairly quickly - especially when the poster puts "EMERGENCY" or "URGENT" in the thread title.

There is a wealth of information there that can help including "spyders to the rescue" listing folks all over the country willing to help a fellow ryder in need. Close dealers etc. As akspyderman stated most help posts are answered within minutes...:thumbup:

i am pretty much a loaner, if i have a question on something non mechanical i will post a question on here. but in a emergency my survival mode kicks in and i go from there. to be honest this would be the last place i would ask for help. because if there is a emergency nothing moves fast enough for me. i would try to contact dealers and look for a rental car and lodging to do what i need to do.
PLEASE don't misunderstand me, i really appreciate all the people on here that help me when i have a question, but i just need to handle things myself.
