advrider.com The November Website of the Month

This is one of the largest, craziest, motorcycling communities on the internet. I have actually joined this forum even though so far I have only made one post. But when I am researching a motorcycle, accessory, or gear advrider.com is my “go to first” resource. It’s all in there sometimes you may have to dig through layers of bullshit but the information I needed was always there. Beside a lot of the BS is amusing or interesting. The Shinko 705 tires on my scrambler were purchased based on reviews there. After consultation with another inmate I just ordered a Joe Rocket one piece suit to try.

Let me go ahead & clear one thing up. I am not an adventure rider (anymore & yet) but I do pose like one at the local coffee shop. I’m just another guy who loves motorcycles but puts in most of his mileage commuting with the occasional 50-100 mile weekend ride. I used to ride more & someday hope to do so again.

One thing you need to do right now is just open up the advrider.com home page and just sit there and watch the slide show of fantastic pictures that play on the screen. Since I am running multiple monitors I often just open the home page & let the slide show play. They do rotate in new pictures on a regular basis so check it often.

If you are a thin skinned politically correct wuss, you probably want to stay away from this site. This forum does not have members it has inmates. Down in the basement there a many things that are both disturbing and fun. You will find things that will offend you no matter who you are, so if you are not man or woman enough to suck it up & get over it, stay the hell out of this asylum.

As I said at the beginning this website there is more real motorcycle & gear related information at advrider.com than I have found anywhere else on the internet, but I must admit, being the garage rat that I am, that my favorite sub-forum is the “Some Assembly Required” section.

Just be careful, you can get sucked into this place, and next thing you know the sun is coming up and you haven’t been to bed yet. Some threads have had me laughing so hard that my wife was wondering what was wrong with me. If you are just browsing the site out of curiosity or to see what is new I recommend using a tablet or laptop so that when the battery goes dead you know it is time to take a break.

Peace Y’all

Retracting the Obituary !!! R.I.P. Underground Velo Forums

I am happy to report that reports of the death of one of the few non p.c. bicycle forums has been greatly exaggerated. There was an outpouring of support from members so now the forum has re-opened with a new url. He did however streamline operations and shut down his blog in order to conserve resources for his family. Believe it or not even a “free” blog that is being run as a hobby can get expensive if you expect to have quality content for your readers. So whenever you visit someones blog take time to leave a comment, click on an ad or watch a commercial every once in a while. We love our readers and want to know you are happy with us and want us to keep going. That little teeny tiny bit of assistance from the ads might be nice too.

At this time there are still many people in dire need of assistance, please click the Red Cross link below or give through some other legitimate organization.

Peace Y’all

 

A few months ago I did a profile on my friend Bighit’s Kustom Bicycle Forum. Unfortunately he is in New Jersey and has not recovered power yet (as of 11 08 12)and the expenses and time required just to survive, have led to him deciding to shutter the forum. at least for a while. Prayers and best wishes for all of the victims, of this storm and if you can reach out to help, be it through the Red Cross, your church, or any other organization please do so.
Thanks,
Floyd
