Boring? BORING??!!! You gotta be kidding me! Hello there fellow biker, I think you have a fabulous idea!!!! Being the only (I think) biker in this group, let me be the first to welcome you to FG.
So...tell us about your bike, do you ride with an M.C. or and R.C., details, details!!!

I was hoping you'd show up here BR.
I asked you once to write about biking, how you got interested in it and such, because i really have no experience and other then american chopper, no knowledge.

I think you should just start talking to each other and if no one jumps in right away..keep going. Because even though I know less then zero about it, and so won't have much to contribute, I would find it very interesting reading.

I for one am very for the idea of getting a biker forum. Personally I love bikes: looking at them, riding them, whatever, I grew up on Harley's so thats what I love. Anyway, Make a bike forum. PEACE OUT!

Sounds good! Why doesn't everyone collaborate and come up with some section names/topics?

If you do that, I'll get it in place.

Can we include some topics that address us off-road riders?

Post pics of them! But make sure and tell me what they are please...lol

I have been away a couple days, but I'm glad to see some interest. Funny how the original poster hasn't been back!
Tombstone, this wouldn't fall under Motorcycles/Autos? Or would this be more biker lifestyle related?
Flop, what is it you'd like to know? Bikes themselves, or life in an M.C., or anything?
I will go dig up the pic of Bullet on our Honda. I am putting my bike together this week, just got the parts to the paint shop today, and my saddle will be ready by Monday or Tuesday. I'll post pics as progress happens. (My bike is a Suzuki 450)

how did you first get interested in them...what turned it into a passion...how did you determine your favorite brand...do you have more fun riding or tearing apart, me i would probably love to tear one apart just to see how it works!

I got interested in them because of Bullet. I had known of M.C.'s and bikes, having been a bartender for so long, but had not had much prolonged exposure to them. Meeting Bullet meant learning a LOT about bikes and the lifestyle. If I wanted to be around him (and I really, REALLY wanted to) it meant I had to learn about his lifestyle.
I really love the Hondas. The one we have is a very "retro" looking bike. Everyone thinks it's a Harley. It's orange and cream, and has an 1100 cc engine, and weighs about 900 pounds. We own one of the only 3 Hondas in the club. Low maintenance is probably his number one reason for having bought a Honda. Harley's break down all the time, overheat, little piddly crap goes wrong with them every other day. Not the Honda.
I'll enjoy working on this bike, as it is my first and I want to do the maintenance on it myself, but it is always my first choice to be riding rather than tearing apart. There's enough day-to-day maintenance on a bike, as far as keeping it clean, and the chrome polished, that major jobs just take away from your riding time. Riding season is short enough around here. We don't want to spend tons of time fiddling with the bikes.
The color I picked for my bike is a very deep bluish-purple with a lot of metal flake in it, and there will be a black peace sign on each side of the tank, outlined in white. The fenders were originally chrome, but I wanted it to look more "sinister", and all that chrome is just flashy, IMO. So we acid-dipped the fenders and they will be the same color as the tank and the side covers. I also bought a new set of pipes, (exhaust) which just got here the other day, and there will be some work done to those to make them loud. My little engine wouldn't be very loud as it is, and the louder a bike's pipes, the easier it is for cagers to know you're around.
Bullet gave me my Guardian Angel pin just before he got me the bike. Every biker needs their Angel pin! He also surprised me and got my patches sewn onto my vest. I have 2 different American flags (one in the shape of a peace sign) a POW-MIA patch, and my tag patch.
I really gotta go find that picture of the Honda. I'll be back shortly.

My version of motercycle safety is to stay off of them. I have several uncles that are into bikes. One is a member of some Christian Bike association.

One time You Call That Art? was singing Long distance relationships . . . . and the college kids would end it with the s word. Well the bikers thought these college kids were insulting the band and were like they are good.

This was in Cheyenne WY.
