 Posted: 00:22 - 01 Dec 2011  Post subject: OneTwoFive - Site for 125cc Riders |
 |
|
Although the 125cc engine is something that's often looked down on by riders of say, 600, 750, or 1100cc motorbike riders, it's not uncommon even for somebody with a full licence to take advantage of some of the 125cc motorcycles benefits.
Such benefits include cheap insurance, cheap road tax, and they are of course extremely economical. Some people who only have a motorcycle licence, who use their bikes for work often choose to keep a 125cc for small commutes and town/city riding, and use their larger engined bikes for long distance riding.
OneTwoFive is a website dedicated to riders of motorcycles, scooters, and off-road/trials bikes, and even trikes that have an engine capacity of up to 125cc (That means we welcome 50cc, 80cc and 100cc riders too!). So if it's got an engine up to 125cc, and it uses 2 or 3 wheels, this is the website for you.
The site will generate news feeds for new models, racing, and general biking news. It will have a gallery website for users to upload all their pictures too.
The website will arrange meets and shows for members, and give advice and tips to new riders.
We will also have a support section, run by experienced riders and qualified mechanics.
After 12 months of running, we will be looking to open a subscription service which will give members discounts from dealers of parts and accessories. We have already started to build up a relationship with Rampdale Insurance Brokers.
Please note, the website is new, and is under heavy construction, and the home page is currently being worked on.

He'll just get bored with it and pass it on half finished, like all his bikes.

Most people are riding 4-strokes these days, although 2-strokes can be fairly good if they're left as standard and not "tuned"
to full power.
| Quote: | Your website seems to be 'dedicated' to an awful lot of things.
One could think it wasn't really that dedicated! |
It's dedicated to 125cc. It will cover everything that involves ANYthing 125cc.
| Quote: | What racing will you cover? |
We'll keep track of the 125cc section of the MotoGP as well as any less popular racing organisations.
| Quote: | What sort of shows will you arrange for owners? |
There are many many shows that come around yearly. Part of the subscription benefits is that the money won't be pockets. It will be put into a separate account and used to fund tickets to subscribed members, or get us a stand at an event where members can show off their modified bikes to the public.
| Quote: | Why do you think users will want to pay a subscription for your website when they can get the same benefits from other websites without paying? I'm presuming that's what you mean by 'subscription'? |
A lot of good businesses give discounts specifically to motoring organisations through it's member subscription system. This is a great way to help promote each others business.
| Quote: | Are you aware that fairly universally insurance 'discounts' are scams and they won't be offered if you've already negotiated a good price? |
We're not offering insurance discounts.
| Quote: | How will you deal with people coming on to your forum and using it to promote a rival site, with out, I would guess, asking if it's ok?
What about if it's not only a rival forum these people are advertising, but one that seems to be intended to be run for profit in the future?
|
Anybody who wishes to spread the word about their website can do so in the specified section of the forum.
Profit-making businesses will not be able to. If you're referring to OneTwoFive as a profit-making business you would be very wrong. Members can use the site for free, however, they will be able to access extra sections of the website and gain discounts from partners by subscribing for £5 a month, or £40 a year (Saving £20).
All income will go into the OneTwoFive Development Fund, which as I said earlier, will fund events for the members, promote the website etc. etc. etc.
| Quote: | Your forum seems to be poorly laid out for a new forum.
It also looks to use a standard template with little effort. |
The forum is fine. Research has been done to ensure that all the most common categories are covered. The main website will be the integral part of this community, with news feeds, reviews, and galleries.

2strokes are made in tiny numbers compared to what they used to be, leaving what's left as the only viable option. Nothing can be about that.
As for non-profit, it your sites takes members and becomes successful it wil make profit, so your point there is redundant.
Spamming another successful forum to benefit your own which is of the same type is a crap idea.
You say its 'under heavy construction', why not wait until it's finished until publicising it? sloppy effort 
Add to that you're brand new here, already spamming this place against the rules and you expect credibility?
Na.

Could say the same about 4 strokes too.
| Quote: | It's dedicated to 125cc. It will cover everything that involves ANYthing 125cc. |
So, do you include 4 wheelers too?
Also, you're forgetting everything under 125cc. Rather a lot of things.
| Quote: | We'll keep track of the 125cc section of the MotoGP as well as any less popular racing organisations. |
Unfortunate; I was hoping you'd have researched low capacity racing the UK. A poor show.
I'm not sure money 'is' pockets ever? Suppose if you were good with origami, it could be?
You do realise there are plenty of places where people can enter their modified bikes into shows specifically designed for them?
| Quote: | We're not offering insurance discounts.
|
Why mention the 'relationship' you're building with an insurance company then?

It sounds like an organisation designed to make money.
I'd personally describe your £5 per month subscription 'a joke'.
You're actually going to be charging a good amount more than a club I'm a member of which has an existing large user base and offers a lot of discounts as well as a funded AGM and various official 'real' club stuff.

What research have you done into developing internet forums?
How have you used this to decide how your forum starts and how it progresses?
What did you use to decide on the structure of your forum and site? |

You HAVE to be joking?!
Jonesy, I pay £10 a year to be a member of one Motorcycle Trials Club, NOTHING to be a member of another, and I actually get a bottle of wine when I go and observe. Its £30 to join the BMF, who are an existing, well regarded organisation doing very real things, and offering a lot of very real benefits, and two internationally regarded multi-day shows a year, and who have long standing relationships with large numbers of businesses in the industry, and ALREADY offer, lots of real, palpable and actually useful member discounts.....
Exactly WHAT 'value' do you REALLY think your, so far empty, site offers pottential members, or is likely to offer pottential members, that would warrant SUCH a subscription price?
It is actually MORE than the BMF annual sub... please tell me why YOUR 125 site might in ANY WAY be 25% 'better' or offer more than the longest established, largest membership, most influential non-proffit organisation in the persuit?
I mean, tell me WHY I ought to give you £40 a year, for content' you dont provide, and to add content I do provide? When I can do that here on BCF or any one of a dozen other forums for free?
Tell me exactly WHAT I might get for my money, that I might not get, or get more of, or get more use from, putting my money into an ACU membership; a TRF membership; a BMF membership; a MAG membership; a Honda Owners Club Membership; or gawd knows what else?
No one PAYS for access to web-forums.

Chap claims to be SO enthusiastic about bikes, and have such a long and interesting riding carreer, spanning something like a dozen different bikes, over his extensive riding career of FIVE YEARS, in which he's been SO enthusiastic, keen, and dedicated, and obviousely so busy fixing and riding all these bikes.... he's never actually got a licence.
He is, himself, merely a 'wannabee' biker..... looking for credability from other wannabee bikers......
So Jonesy... I have a 125 (a few actually, but no mind!) Tell me, with all this wealth of knowledge stored up in the realm of tiddler-winking..... what should I know, and how should I go about getting my licence, then?
Or do you reckon I shouldn't bother? I mean, I hear that there's some new laws out and if I don't get a licence sorted soon, I wont be able to get one!
But if all you say is true about 125's, then surely I shouldn't really need to, should I? Big bikes are just an expensive ego-trip, aren't they? Would you say they are actually worth all the fag of getting a licence for? 
Seriousely; you would be far better reading a bit of whats already on the net, and trying to learn something, than fugging about trying to re-invent the wheel, and looking for praise and payment for it.
And if you really ARE so mad about bikes; get a fucking licence.
FIVE YEARS, pissing around on a provisional, NOT getting a test.
It does NOT show a lot of enthusiasm or passion for the persuit or you would have pulled your finger out, got serious and DONE IT, one way or another.
It shows you lack the enthusiasm; or it shows you lack the confidence, or it shows you lack the simple competence to pass a test.
Either which fucking way, its a poor show. Get your act together; Crap or get OFF the can!
You have offered nothing that would earn the respect of your peers,.
You have pissed about in the shallow end, never actually learning to swim, and are now strutting around, in a Bay-Watch outfit; telling the swimmers to come over to your place, you have a great new paddling pool, and could they please actually fill it with water for you! And wondering why the Life-Guard is blowing his whistle at you!?

Poppy cock, a well tuned 2 stroke is a complete giggle, they're better than a standard 125cc 2 stroke, what a load of tosh, an RS125 with full power, the 34mm carb a decent exhaust like a sexy JollyMoto one, upgraded reeds etc will be a million times better than a restricted RS125, just seems like clueless ramblings of someone who doesn't know much about a really good 2 stroke.

That meant to be some kind of threat? |
What if it is? You join up here, see how good a board it is then decide to make your own, then spam us.
Also it will only lure in the users from 125sportsbike or what every they are all called which is full of useless mongs who have no idea how a bike actually works.
Also I noticed your flounce was showing.
