Hi,

My name is Mike and my wife Judy and I are avid motorcyclists touring all over the US. We are developing a website about motorcycle touring and wish to put together a page about B&B's since B&B's are where we like to stay while riding. If you have a B&B and cater to motorcyclists please stop by our site. If you like what you see and wish to be included on our future page about B&B's please contact us through our contact page.

Thanks again and keep up the good work, we love all the great places, food and hospitality that B&B's offer.

Hi All,

I saw an interesting blurb in today's local paper. One of our residents recently formed a "Bed and Bale". A Bed and Bale is a Bed and Breakfast Inn that has a place for horses as well as people.

No news yet on how successuful he'll be.

From "Ask Kit!":

From "Ask Kit!":
Q: Thanks for "pushing" me out of my comfort zone. You are right about me being unable to define the people I would like to have in my B&B, the reason is: I do not believe people have to be exactly like me to enjoy what I have to offer.
