How To Use This Site

Viewers and Visitors

This is the easiest to explain because you can just look around and find the sections that interest you. The best place to start is the links on the left hand side of this page which will take you to the main sections of the site.


Webmasters

We have made hundreds of buttons which you can use to link to certain pages of this site if you want to. Not all of them are currently loaded up because this site is still in development but there will be tons added to this page for early 2012. Use as many as you want to link to relevant pages on this site. If you have an article and simply want to text link to one of our pages to inform your readers about a word we are fine with that. Use this site like the MotorCyclePedia it is.


Contributors

This is the tough one, I am working on a complete page which will act as an index and guideline to try and sort out the monster that is evolving here. Please start here if you wish to start contributing to this project.

more random websites which promise the world and deliver a bunch of bullshit.

I am going to go off on another tangent about the shit that can be found on the interweb right up at the top of google searches. I was researching something here tonight for a page on the site and I came across this bullshit from what looked to be a big and well informed website but it turned out that the majority of the content on it was just sucked in from a couple shitty sites out there. Here is a page which was linked along with 100 other ones from ezinearticles.com, this is horrid writing about completely useless shit meant for nothing more than circle jerking traffic. The second completely useless thing they had going on at this site was a bunch of questions which were posted to a yahoo answers site on the topic of motorcycles. There were no answers because as soon as the shit was posted to yahoo it got sucked onto this other website, made to look like their content, and the ran through a program which tweeted out a sentence to twitter at a rate of handfuls an hour. It amazed me how many followers this twitter account had too, I think the [...]

learning from accidents section has its first entry

"6 inches of spiral fracture right above my left ankle that looked just like the core of a paper towel tube when you twist it backwards and the glue let's loose."

The new section is officially launched with this entry.

our mission and vision statement for the motorcyclepedia wiki

A quest to answer the question, “Why does MotorCyclePedia.org exist?” The definition of a Mission Statement is as follows, “To broadly describe an organization’s present capabilities, customer focus, activities, and business makeup”. We have some pretty clear things laid out which need to be put down in writing because I want to ensure focus is not lost while building this site so at the same time I am also going to write a “Vision Statement” to try and solidify the path forward. I think we need to get these two items straight and revisit them occasionally to ensure things don’t get wrapped around the axle make us veer off course too much. Right off the start here I want to ensure that this site remains as true and valid as possible to ensure it keeps being a good resource for knowledge. An example of misinformation is easy to find, when looking on google for a definition of “Mission Statement” I stumbled on a page at About.com which described it pretty well, but at the bottom of the page was the following comment, “A good mission statement provides strategic vision and direction for the organization.” No you dumb ass, that’s a [...]

The New Year Is Coming

Progress my not be as anticipated butit is still progress. We are advancing on a daily basis and looking forward to a good launch come 2011! Stay tuned and come back often. Share on Facebook

very little for updates this summer

I have not followed my website commitments very well this summer and I feel guilty about it. I think that I will set up some form of scheduler up so that I have a road map laid out of how the site is supposed to advance. This whole thing has been a long term project while working full time so I am not too disappointed in the progress. There just needs to be a bit more of an even flow of progress from me. It will be a huge and well thought out resource and not just another site full of bullshit and ads. The internet has way too much stupid shitty sites that are nothing but ad farms. Fuck that, I want something better. In reality, when I look at the progress and the way sections are started and mapped out I feel pretty good about the whole direction of things. This is the start of something I think I will be proud of. Share on Facebook

Join and Contribute to this Project

We are looking for people who would like to help out with this project. Would you like to join and help make this the best motorcycle resource on the web? Please go to this link if you are interested and would like to find out more. I have closed down open membership and will only add you manually. My first run at this site was a few years ago got severely messed up by a few shitheads who wanted to advertise their Pharmaceutical programs. After not looking at some pages for a short time I came back to find a disaster of garbage links on every page I constructed. This time things are going to be different.

You may have already seen a bad word if you actually read this page and did not just come to look at the pictures. Sorry about that, but deal with it or go away. This is a site meant for big kids not little kids. You may see a titty here or there, you might see some bad words! That is just the way it is.

On the right day you might just see some exposed T&A on the Babe Of The Day page.
