I signed up with Bikerornot.com and created a profile. Within a few months I had a few friends, if you want to call them that, that I chat back and forth with and it’s fun in it’s place. Recently I decided to join in on the blogs. What a huge mistake that was. The blogs are infested with the usual web-vermin that take over most unmoderated forums on the web. Fighting, attacking others, and general rudeness characterize most of the bloggers on bikerornot.com. Within minutes of posting a comment on a blog I was attacked by others on the site. It seems to be how they pass their time. Bikerornot.com is ok, but I think most people would be better advised to find one of the better sites that cater to bikers with moderated forums and not such a hostile membership.

I’ve been on BoN since Feb of 2008, and love it!! I began in Indiana, and through the site I finally met my soulmate! Seapup lived 600 miles from me in Virginia, but took the time to fly up and meet me…and now here I am, going on 8 months later and we now live together in VA!!! I thank BoN for bringing us together, and a few of our friends have met their significant others through BoN as well. I am a proud East Coast BoN ReTard..a group born out of a rivalry with west coast riders, but continues on due to great friendship and camaraderie. My advice to anyone who joins..step gingerly, and take what some members say with a grain of salt.

I have not gone on BON but I met up with some BON riders by accident last weekend and they were great fun. New friends just like most of you have said. Read about my BON story at this link: http://roadcaptainusa.com/2008/12/06/the-little-smile-for-christmas-toy-run/

I have been a member of BON since early in 2007 and made many wonderful friends. Some that I’ve met in person that will be life long friends. I’ve never had any bad experiences on the site and personally love it. I’ve got tons of friends that email me or message me on a daily basis. Granted there are those on my friend list that I NEVER hear from, but for the most part, my true friends remain in touch with me on a regular basis. And I firmly believe that if I needed anyone of them for any reason they would be there for me in a second. At least try it to find out your own personal feelings about it. If you don’t like it, just don’t go back.
I recommend BON highly to anyone, Biker or Not!
I LOVE IT!

I have been on BON for awhile and ridden with many of the people on there. I don’t get into the blogs, chats, etc.
It is a great way to find local people to ride with and find rides/runs to go on. There is something going on nearly every weekend.
We travel alot and have met people from other areas and ridden with them as well.

Hey Chessie- I have heard similar stories from other people about BoN. I don’t spend much time on the message boards but I find that kind of mentality to be true on a lot of sites. I frankly don’t have a ton of time to spend on community boards but I do use the site to keep track of friends and messages.

It’s too bad that people have to act that way, but lots of people with little lives use that kind of forum to act a way that they wouldn’t normally act in real life.

I joined BON back in early Jan. 08.
At first glance it was all as you said. But as the months wore on, I found it to be a lot less than stated. At least on the blogs end of the deal. Back biting, whining, bitching, mob mentality, and frankly…I find it less than appealing to see people bashing each other, and the only way they seem to know each other is through the blogs. I’ve seen some pretty contradictory blogging by people who are quite popular there, and I find it disfiguring to anyone who falls for the line of crap and defends or bashes anyone who starts a line of hate spewed shit there. And there are a lot of em. The bashing can go on for weeks, and at this point, I’ve seen it go on for a month. It’s sicking to see adults behave so badly. I quit the blogs, and return only for the friends who send me emails via BON.

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

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.

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