Where to Find Motorcycle Online Forums
What could be better than having a bike and riding it? Why, talking about it, of course! For millions of motorcycle fans worldwide, it's nearly impossible to run out of reasons and topics about their beloved rides. If you're looking to make biker friends and exchange some stories, here are a few sites to check out:
Harley Heaven (www.harley-heaven.com)
For Harley fans and those who want nothing but pure Harley news and information, Harley Heaven has a chatroom where you can meet and swap Harley talk with likeminded folks. There are also links to repair tips and tricks, lifestyle, free pictures and in true Harley fashion, a link to tattoos and piercings.
CT Biker's Guide (www.ctbikersguide.com)
If you want a site that opens directly to an online forum, then this website is for you. To get in, you must register to become a member. Membership gives you access to more features than guest users usually get.
There's private messaging, email access and a user group subscription to keep you updated. Topics include events, bands, bars, a mechanic's corner for repair tips, a swap shop for trading merchandise, photos of members' rides and even an off-topic chatroom for topics that have nothing to do with bikes.
Riding Across USA (www.ridingacrossusa.com)
RaU has an online forum for members that is categorized into different topics such as motorcycle discussions, parts sales, biker events, riding schedules, local meetings and more information about motorcycles and bikers. And you're not only limited to fellow bikers in the U.S. You could also search for biker groups and individuals in Canada and in other countries.

Real Divas Ride (www.realdivasride.com)

A good place to meet and greet fellow lady bikers to exchange news and information, find riding partners and groups and learn about current riding events.
