XTreme

Release the brake? I don't even apply it because I'm not belting along the straight and then need to make adjustments. I like to maintain the same speed on straights and bends......so all I'm doing approaching it is decelerating and dropping down the box. Unless I'm in town traffic or coming to a complete stop I rarely touch the brakes.

They're all pretty long though Chris......and some are just weird.

As I've said, an EMD (Exact Match Domain) has benefits.....certainly in the initial phase! However, the drawback is zero brand awareness and identity. Going back through our lineage there was Bikezone, Gigabikes, and MaximumBikes......each had a distinct branding. The Motorcycle Forum has none......and that's the problem! So domain suggestions still welcome!

Hi Kracker!

I do want to get away from this colour combination though.......fresh new look sort of thing.

The ladies got a better sense of style than us!

Maybe best we wait for Michelle's input Tym!

And tomorrow it's all going to blow. Please note that I'm not breaking the Politics rule.......this is Covid related!

Did you see those idiots in the UK protesting about lockdowns yesterday......and wearing the Star of David? The Jewish community are not happy about it understandably.......I'm only a 25%er and I found it offensive! Let's be honest.......equating having to stay in the house with the Holocaust is a bit of a stretch!

Give us some colour options when you can Michelle! Colour Picker

The question is......

If something better turns up then we wouldn't use it. It's an aged domain actually.....got history going back to 2004.

Show @Slowlycatchymonkey your vid of you binning it Tym!

It's motorcycle not motorbike.......and it's com not .co.uk Dave. The only similarity is "The" and "Forum"......and nobody owns those words.

Funny you should say that Dave.....cos I do have that one (with a com) waiting in the wings just in case!

We've got to have Motorcycle and Forum to hit the ground running! Google say EMD's (Exact Match Domains) carry no weight now......but that's not true. They carry as much weight as they always did.....but Google are throwing that out to try and put a stop to spammy names.

Yes.......Bruce has sailed off into the sunset Caroline! So that makes 3 flounces in the last couple of months! Impressive statistics it has to be said! The thing is......it's just so awful here with Mods and Admins abusing their power, cliques ganging up, and people provoking arguments all the time. It's getting so bad now that members have to pre-book their flounces! What you say @Tym?

Today has been a good day on here! Based on the fact that nobody's flounced! Yet!

Always up for a spot of kidnapping Tym!

Now is this an actual entry or another fucking Ride Report?

Good stuff Chris......great quality pics too. And why am I the only one who's got shit weather! Fuckmine!

Well I gotta say that our Xsara Picasso has been faultless in the 3 years we've had it. I had reservations buying it, but it was the car the wife found was the most comfortable. It's never missed a beat, and doesn't use a drop of oil. Done nothing to it besides normal maintenance. They're everywhere here......and I'm yet to see one broken down on the side of the road. The Picasso approaching half a million miles On the FB group for this model there's guys who've had 4 or 5 of them......most of which did astronomical mileages as taxis.

I'm waiting for the ladies to come up with suggestions! They'll know best!
