Free showers?
Just got the latest email from Ride West BMW. They list of all the free stuff they provide:
Free Coffee! Free Doughnuts - Every Saturday! Free Earplugs! Free Wireless! Free Insurance Quotes - For your motorcycle, auto, RV, ATV, & home! Free Demo Rides - Extended Free Used Bike Inspection Free Service Loaners! Free 30 Point Inspection Free Seminars & Clinics Free "Club Room" for your events! Free Shower facilities for travelers! Free membership in Team Ride West! Just wondering how common it is for dealers to do this...

Yup,I know those truck stop showers well,from a former life...
Dealers: avoid them and their pricey parts,if you can find one. many have closed that side of their business I now DIY mostly...online parts..

Ride West has always treated me well. Staying open late so I could get a part. Letting me take bikes to try while mine were serviced.
They even protected me from myself and refused to sell me a K1200R... Said they liked riding with me too much and that if I got one I would lose my license or kill myself on it.

The Harley dealer in Anchorage has showers and a campground. All free if you're traveling on a bike. Doesn't have to be a Harley.

Either of those places are a long ride to get a shower.
