Honda Bike Forum?

[LaZaZaL89]

Just wondering if ozhonda have ever considered a bike forum? It appears that a fair few people have bikes on here, so why not start a bike forum in the "Model Specific" part couldnt we have "Honda Bikes"? Just a thought...

[krogoth]

ive actually thought of this before

it would be really nice to have, but practically, it might be a bit hard to get off the ground

i reckon its worth a shot, it may take a wile to grow and become useful, but thats the way it is

[omgitsmatt]

just an idea... get people to post if they have a honda bike in this thread or a new one that way there will be some sort of indication of how many people have honda bikes and the mods could make a decision if its worth it or not

[krogoth]

it doesnt matter whether u have a honda bike or not

u can have a non honda bike, a honda bike or not have a bike at all

lots of ppl are interested in them, and lots of ppl would participate in ducussion even though they dont have a honda bike

[rayb3na_]

couldnt have said it better myself krogoth!

[LaZaZaL89]

Yeah, I geuss it just came across when I was starting to look into bikes, and I couldnt find a forum for them on Ozhonda! :O... It doesnt have be PURELY for hondas, just a forum where people can ask questions and those who are more experienced with bikes can answer them.

Edit: Thats also the point, it shouldnt be an exclusive forum for honda bike owners. It should be a place where rookie bike owners, or those looking into bikes can ask questions. So basing a decision purely on how many people see this thread and own Honda bikes would be wrong.

why stop at bikes
boats
outboard motors
lawmowers
not enough interest on these forums

[krogoth]

yeh, but there are a fair few threads about bikes coming up, so u could maybe justify another separate section for them

if there was enough interest coming up for the rest, then maybe they could get their own sections too, but no1 asks about hondas other products

as for boats, im sure there are plenty of forums out their with honda related boat info

[Spicey]

I like that idea. PM a mod LaZaZaL89

[dc2dc2dc2]

the threads about the bikes
are no where technical
its just general discussion about bikes
which can be done in the lounge
more work for mods
not needed
we don't have that much interest in the bikes
when it turns into a 'Accord Euro' type of a problem i say deal with it
Until that day comes
LOUNGE IT UP~!

[joyride]

theres already a honda bike forum created

edit:
JDM CBR
http://www.cr-x.org/cbr250/forum/default.asp

[krogoth]

yeh there are other bike forums

but, if we had a little sub section here as a trial, it mite grow

lol, if u wer so worried about how much work the mods had to do, u woodnt spam bomb so much

[dc2dc2dc2]

i don't spam bomb buddy :)
take a look at my posts
they have been very good as of late
:)
so don't call me spammer emogoth

[krogoth]

ahhh, the famous dc2^3 has reformed???

lol

[panda[cRx]]

i and others have suggested it before but it went nowhere. i dont see why it would be a problem if it was properly moderated

[LaZaZaL89]

even if it was a "sub forum" of the other hondas part...

[Tegzieboi_BAR]

i seriously dont c y theres even an issue? is it really that harmful 2 put it up even if its not gna b that popular?

Worst comes 2 worse just get rid of it

[dc2dc2dc2]

lolz
shows how importnat this discussion is to the mods
none of them have replied
gotta love mods

[bennjamin]

gotta love ex mods who dont know any better :)

How many actual honda bike owners are there ?
We currently have a forum titled "all other models" - this includes bike discussion. If there is the numbers to warrant it , why not ?

[dc2dc2dc2]

lolz
what Ben :p
im just saying
they take their time to reply to a 2 week old thread in SITE DISCUSSION ;)
as soon as i post in it
u pop up
gotta love the mods
stalking poor old me
ready to infract my ass :p

[bennjamin]

ill do more than infract your ass Tai. ffs.


Seriously tho , post interest here if you are an actual Honda bike owner ! get the numbers and we will get something going when Wynode gets back.
The truth is bikes WILL get more popular as fuel gets more exxy , so its a step in the right direction.

QFT

Come on people post if you have a bike or are looking into getting one!

[MDL30N]

well i used to ride a CR125 and XR200 motocross and enduro bikes

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

Ive gotta agree a Bike section here would be nice :)

I ♥ Bikes :)

[honki3rider]

F4i with no vtec

[MDL30N]

F4i with no vtec

LOL.. honda will probably make a bike with VTEC in the future.

[MDL30N]

is there one?:confused:

[honki3rider]

vfr800 does.

[MDL30N]

oooppss my bad...vtec just kicked in..LOL..
didnt have much interest on road bikes..

[bennjamin]

guys who cares for your off topic discussion

Either get numbers for a bike section OR shut the hell up. This thread will be closed and the chance down the drain otherwise.

[incoming]

someone start a poll in the lounge to see how many honda bike owners there are.. i would but i never made a poll b4 lol

[bennjamin]

no point of a poll - you either own one or you dont.
There should be a poll for the basis of a sub section. YES or NO

[krogoth]

but it would be the same idea as ozhonda for cars

not evry1 who comes on here has a honda car, they may just be interested in honda cars

like i said, it will prob start small, but in time it will grow

i know a fair few members who are interested in bikes, but may or may not have one....but they will still enter the discussion

[Spicey]

I have one Honda bike currently, a few non Honda's too. Bikes are a big interest to me and I would love to help out fellow forum members with bikes in our own forum.

[Tegzieboi_BAR]

dont u guys think that if there were bike forums more bike owners will join, i kno a few guys who own honda bikes n they've asked if there is much info on bikes on ozhonda... obvioulsy i said not a lot... hence they didnt bother signin up.

I found this site thru google when i was searchin for info on integras, im sure a CRB owner could b lookin up info on his/her bike n come across this site too.

[bennjamin]

ive brought this up in the mod section for discussion , keep the interest up here too

[panda[cRx]]

just do it, make a section for honda bikes and scooters. as u said they are only going to get even more popular as fuel prices rise.

if it doesnt take off after say a 2-3 month trial get rid of it, no harm done

there are no really good honda bike forums out there so it could build a void if we can snag a few riders

Awesome point Panda

And in turn people who ride Honda bikes could join here and use the Bike section and possibly become interested in Honda cars too (Just a additional thought)

[94_vtec]

A bike sub forum sound's like a great idea its sure got me interested:thumbsup:

[nvmee]

i think it would be great, organise track days, share some riding secrets and stories :D ... ive got many stories which includes some girls flashing their boobs while i was on my bike :D:D:D::D:D

[krogoth]

^lol, i think for it to go ahead

it would have to be more technically related, weeve got the lounge for boob flask stories, lol

[bennjamin]

it would be a technical thread. It would be another subforum in the "model specific" threads. Reserved for motorbike specific talk only

[CB7_OWNER]

i've always wanted to read about bikes.. especially honda ones CBR!! ..anyways i was searching for a bike a while back... soo a thread then would have helped.....

[Spicey]

I would be keen for a technical type forum, I would even put my hand up to help moderate it! :)

[nvmee]

I suck technically lols

[kitbkk]

+1. I think this is a good idea. It will be great if we have discussion on technical, services in particular.

[rayb3na_]

+1 for keen on sub forum! currently apart of cbr250.com etc but its just not the same.. ahaha

[EKVTIR-T]

Since it is OZ "HONDA" and a bike subforum is on the cards maybe it could expand to subforums for lawnmowers,outboard motors,generators etc.
Get Honda Australia on board,increasing financial support. :)

[nvmee]

I have a honda lawnmower too, mite be an excellent idea. they are so problematic ill probably need some sorrt of support

[krogoth]

the lawnmower and other honda products dont have enough interest to warrant a new subforum

IMO, bikes get talked about ALOT in here, so another subforum would work

[sml-089]

if they are honda's, and this site is ozhonda, then why not. honda bikes are very popular, and could even attract more sponsors.
would be a good thing to have IMO

[wynode]

Just waiting for a reply with the other mods. Reply back here if I/we haven't in a few days. Sorry for the delay!

[wynode]

Update:

I've spoken to the other mods and we might look at trialling a new sub-forum. I'll most probably get this done on the weekend when I might be doing an upgrade.

[panda[cRx]]

hurry up already win!!

jeez mang anybody would think you had a life outside teh internetz or something ;)

[wynode]

Just to clarify.....it will be a trial. In 2-3 months if there are very few threads then we will have no option but to scrap it.

So if you want it to stay.....post and get other people to post in it!

[bennjamin]

Will do boss. I got a plethora of bike-only Q's to ask.

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

Will do boss. I got a plethora of bike-only Q's to ask.

/Cannot wait to make a "Hot chicks on Bike thread"

Looking forward to the Bike section :D

[Twincam16]

ditto... its a good idea

[wynode]

Update:

I've just setup the Motorbike forum. Sorry for the delay.......it didn't get done when the upgrade was done due to delays with the upgrade. The new forum will be trialled for 3 months to see how it goes. If it doesn't take off...then we will have no choice but to scrap it and move all the threads to the "Other Hondas" section.

If you'd like it to stay......then get some of you Honda bike people posting in it :)

EDIT: Post any feedback/comments in the thread I've just created (http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1828819#post1828819)in the Announcement forum.
