The idea behind the website is to draw together all the aspects of modern motorcycling and put them in one accessible place. Alongside the book store is a section for articles. Anyone can submit an article and anyone can take an article. If a reader would like to see an article on a particular subject (motorcycle related), they only have to ask and either an article will be written by one of our team of motorcycling experts, or it will be imported from elsewhere.
After speaking to bikers and asking what they wanted, it seems that one of the most popular sections is going to be the availability of workshop manuals for machines that are out of production.
Alan Liptrot, the founder of the new website said ‘we really want the users to drive the website in the direction that they want for themselves. The selling of books is just one small part of the site’.
Apart from the books, there is a motorcycle clothing section which offers jackets, crash helmets and gloves. Toys, computer games and video games are available, so it really will be a one-stop shop for bikers. The motorcycling world is one of the last bastions of true comradeship, and hopefully this new website, which has been created by bikers for bikers, will be taken to the hearts of all motorcyclists.
The website is very young, but building content is the main priority. Looking costs nothing, so if you are interested in helping to build a new website, pop along to www.motorbike-
