Various clothing... crash tested Dianese and a material suit, gloves, helmet, boots etc.
Bikes (any I've owned)
'FAQs'
Various stunty type things
'Crash repair'
Getting insurance?
[edit]:might be best if we get a list of stuff first, ie so we don't get 20 reviews of new NSR125s |

Erm, yeah, but how many of us here actually have proper experience of winter riding?
Don't get me wrong, 'tis a good idea, but as Bendy has pointed out, we need realistic articles...
And how about we setup some sort of "newsletter sign up" jobby first?...there's no point in creating a spangly newsletter, and only send to the ppl that have contributed!...and we can't really spam everyone who's registered (can we?)
I reckon that the first newsletter should just be a sort of taster...it should explain what the newsletter aims to be, and what ppl can expect to get from it...we'll have a few articles in it, of course, but I don't think that we need to stress too much about the consumer content just yet... ____________________ TiN

Well, there seem to be quite a lot of threads about this, so i might as well reply in this one
- Is it going to be a website which has a newsletter with "highlights" or such in it, or a newsletter which is then archived onto a webpage.
- Whats it going to be called? likewise with the domain name
- If it is going to be a webpage, and then a newsletter sent out, why not use post/php nuke? I see no point in spending ages making a sql powered CMS when there are perfectly good ones around.
- I assume the newsletter will be in the form of an email/ text, not as a JPEG or a PDF?
- Does it matter if 20 people all submit reviews of the same bike? I would never trust one persons opinion on its own.
How about a new forum for this? |

Starting as the latter, devolping into the former is the idea.

It'll just be the BCF newsletter, or whatever to start with, I believe tin said he had an appropriate domain... if not there's plenty of people here that

Seeing as it's a newletter.. [IMHO] I'd like to have something that we can do with exactly as we want... and this way it will be entirley individual.

Yes, we have allready had teh discusion about pdf being evil

We would probably have to have a 'group' test. Sorry, but I think people would get bored if ever issue there was a review of a NSR125

This *is* the new forum! (okay not quite, but this means it can be seen by everyone) |

i mean, if you go to say www.bikemagic.com and look in thier reviews section, there are loads of reviews for each product.
Just because a review is submitted, doesnt meant that it has to go in the newsletter... |

coms are more universal though.... what do you normally type when randomly hunting for a website? i usually try .com first then .co.uk, you cant complain at the price either i rekon, easyspace.com are doing them for 15 a year (+ 5 for dns transfer, only payable once), i dont mind chipping in for that... anyone, go 4 ways or something? g.. buy me a double vodka for ur part? hehehe ____________________ -Zimma |

I have 8 'domain years' sitting around doing nowt.... (I think it comes to about £16 for two years all in.. .though when I got then it was a bit cheaper maybe )
So I don't mind using a couple to do it... I doubt I'll ever get round to using them anyway . |
