As you know we changed the name of the site a month ago to appeal to a wider demographic. It was a calculated risk given that we were the third place site on searches for "Adventure Motorcycle Forum".
The problem there was that because we'd put all our eggs in one basket in terms of Adventure, we were nowhere on searches for "Motorcycle Forum" which is the main search term.
The risk we took with the name change was that we would end up nowhere on either search term for some considerable time. So essentially it would be back to square one!
However after one month (due to numerous 301 redirects, new meta descriptions, page headers, and thousands of backlinks), Motorcycle Riders has now taken over Adventure Motorcycle's number three position on Google for Adventure searches. So we retained what we had!
And totally unexpectedly we are now on Page 4 for searches under "Motorcycle Forum". We never had anything like that on the old domain even after a year!
So it's a good result so far. Others seem to be noticing because I saw that another forum had taken our main meta description and slightly modified it for their own use.
But then......I'm always prepared to help others out!
What you say @Tym?
