[Rob Nowell]

Anyone have experience with Bunk-a-Biker?

So “What’s for dinner”? “Your wife is kinda cute” “you got a purty mouth boy” Um, no thanks!

Who wouldn't want to stay with Betty Boop?  Jeez.  Why would a woman advertise on that site?

You assume the B is for Betty, might be Bubba.

Doesn't the Anonymous book offer the same thing?  I mean, just because they're a BMW owner and paid to a club doesn't necessarily weigh in to them being background checked and vetted as a visitor to your place.

Fair question, but it is a smaller sample size than the entire motorcycling population.  Kind of like selling a bike on the board or on CycleTrader.  I'd rather take my chances on the board.

 I doubt the whole motorcycling population is aware of bunk a biker,......first time I've heard of it was here (likely many others here have never heard of it either).......it's just an option.  All I'm saying is that exclusivity does not guarantee safety,....a paid subscription service does not guarantee the absence of scammers, nor does it guarantee a lesser amount of scammers.

 

I've bought and sold on craigslist more than any other outlet, yet there are horror stories of theft and murder.  I've met people that type in broken english or crappy redneck grammar in dark/evening parking lots after work hours, I ain't ded yet.

 

But the bunk a biker is very similar to any other "room for rent" type of operation.  Air BnB has had it's problems with host and guest,....host setting cameras up to "view" action, guest tearing places apart.

 

Only you know you and who you'd host, but there are the Ted Bundy charming killers out there too.

 

Looking at the history of it, the site/idea was started in Norway,.....a kinda no crime country.
