    Motard section....

    I've asked the powers that be, about a motard section.. Their advice, start a thread and guage the support.

    If there is enough, they'll add one to the list.

    So, anyone else think it would be a good idea?

    Find info on different bikes, riding styles, tyre info, etc... All in one place instead of spread amongst the sports, adventure, stunting etc...

    So if you are interested, PLEASE add your name to the thread...

    Discussions with Gav have the section possibly being within the Competitive Riding section, similar to buckets and stunting etc...

    I reckon you should get your own section- Motards are a bit the odd child- dirt bikes with road bike bits on them, so some of the gear and go fast bits are pretty specific to them.
    See if you can add a poll to be able to put numbers to your idea
    Viva le difference!!

    Yeh, I would say there needs to be one. You would include stuff like the supermotos in them.

    Them road bikes are juss speed jockeys dontcha know, wannabe rossi's. The dirt guys can't figure out how to use a road (which they paid for) for the life of them... and we're happy not to blast along at warp speed factor 9, and perhaps enjoy a bit of dirt now and then...

    Not sure whether or not we're similar to the dual purpose section tho?

    now... who haven't I pissed off/insulted?

    It's not a matter of being similar to duals...

    The problem is trying to find the info from the scattered posts...

    Poll! Mmmm, Now, to figure out how to do a poll...

    you ride a farm bike with slicks....

    im in support of this idea, but i suggest we ban those silly n00bs the mods from it too, because without them it will work.

    a motard is a tricky catagory

    Yeah, got to be in. The bikes are getting real popular so lets add a section.

    It makes it easy to find or share info and can only be positive for this diverse site.
