Title: Any other good BBS's?
Post by: Dawn on January 14, 2003, 02:45:02 PM
Alright....  I finally have given up on the WERA board.  No one seems to be able to have a conversation with out degrading one another or being very creative on spelling swear words using symbols.  Please!  I deal with the public 10 hours a day and get enough of it on the job.   >:(

So my question to you is:  Is there any other BBS's out there where we can discuss racing or motorcycles without all the BS in BBS?   ???

There's CLSB (chicagolandsportbikes.com), but the language can get rank at times.  Ditto with cycleforums.com (think they are a little raunchier), or sportbikes.net (not QUITE as rough).

 ::) If there is I haven't found it. The closest I come is the Rogue forum, but that's a pay site and it's for RC51 owners. A pay site, Hmmmmm, maybe that's the difference.

cmraracing.com has a good mboard, but it too can get heated.  Good luck in your search.

Frankly, if it's club racing related... this one rocks! I haven't found one better for this specific subject.

That being said, these are pretty good...

I second the Insane speed site
http://insanespeed.infopop.net/2/OpenTopic?a=frm&s=540099643&f=150099643

it is a lot of trackday guys and street riders but clean enjoyable people that like perforamce bikes. Not like the wheelie stunt guys you find at gixxer.com or labusas

Dawn, (cue violins) I can't believe you're cheating on us! Sniff, sniff.  I type all day until my hands are raw, just trying to supply you with some interesting content to come home to.  Do you care?  No!  You're out sniffing around the web, feeling up all the other BBS's.  I remember when I was enough for you.  I gave you the best years of my life! :'(

insane speed is pretty good.

sportbikes.net lost it after someone there had a temper tantrum. Now its over run with kiddies.

cycleforums has a decent racing section (not saying that because I'm the mod for it ;D) with a club racing subboard and trackday subboard.

Motozine (aka sportbikeworld.com) is a joke IMO. Basically copied the layout cycleforums has. Doesnt even get much traffic either. Certain admin there likes to spam his sites over on other forums but has other sites names and addies censored on motozine ::)

C*******************, basically just a local site. A spin-off of SBN back in SBN's glory days.

Chris:

I laughed so hard when I read this!  Thanks, I needed that!  

Cheating - No, I could never do that...  I love you guys!   :-*  I'm just checking out the competition.   ;)

Everyone:

Thanks for the ideas.  I will be checking them out.

http://www.cbr600f4.com/forum  - Mostly CBR discussion, but anyone's welcome...

I also run the CBRlist which can be informative and enjoyable, but judging from your first post mentioning that you don't care for degradation or profanity, I couldn't recommend it to you...
