A few months ago I wrote a post about Bikerworlds and the growing popularity of social networking with bikers. Well, I just discovered another social networking site for the biker world called BikerorNot.com.
My initial observation is that this is a hybrid born of hotornot.com and MySpace in the sense that you can build profiles and have lots of friends (just like myspace) and you can rate people who have uploaded their images (just like HotorNot). Investigating the site a little more and it also begins to feel like a biker dating site as well. The biker community tends to be brimming with a lot of sexual energy and this site seems to be spilling over with it. Maybe it’s all the sexy pictures!
In reading the two entries on the BikerorNot blog I realize that this is also a fairly new (and totally customized) site to feed the need for online biker communities. It started in September 2006 and by late August 2007 they had upwards to 10,000 members, 4 million page views per month and 5,000 unique visitors per day. Impressive numbers by any standards.
I decided to add a profile on this site as well and if you’re curious to see what it’s all about, you can visit me at bikerornot.com/rippinkitten. Who knows? You may end up joining, too!

Well, when they say the internet has something for everyone I guess they really mean it.

What a coincidence…..I just joined last night. It is cool to associate with other virtual bikers. I’ve already had a friend request a ride next summer in my area. Fun website.

It’s rubbish…and I know everyone is mad at Fury now…half the people don’t have or know crap about bikes or the biker world…I remember when biker sights where a bar,dinner or coffee shop,out on the road,wet,cold or dry and meeting new good people everyday…get off your ass and get out and say hello
