Motorcycle Gear discussion board ??

JokerSeven · February 13th, 2010, 12:49 PM

Please forgive me and my noobishness.
I did not see a specific board for gear. Where do you fine people post discussions about jackets, helmets, boots and any riding gear for that matter ?
Maybe it will be a good idea to add one, but I'm sure the admins have already thought of this. There simply may not be enough traffic to justify it.
Just thought I would ask.

Hi Joker! Seems like most of the gear talk has been right here in General motorcycling. There have been many different threads with gear topics, but no requests as of yet for a separate subforum. If people are finding that they can't find the topics they want if a forum is too cluttered, I'm happy to create new subforums as long as they have enough traffic. What do other folks think?

I don't know what the demand is for this, but I think it'd be a great idea.

It'd be nice to have a designated place for reviews, sizing help, how-it-fared-after-a-crash notes, etc.

OK, poll added to this thread. I'll take a look at it again in a few days to see what people are thinking...

JokerSeven · February 13th, 2010, 01:59 PM

Excellent idea !

Thank you Sir.

In the meantime, here's one of the longest running threads we've had here about motorcycle gear:

Have at it an ATGATT forum would work just fine. I can see separating the gear from the general forum.

Snake · February 13th, 2010, 03:46 PM

I'm happy with the way that things have been but I don't care either way so I voted for you to surprise me.

Alex · February 14th, 2010, 03:59 PM

Bumple.

Snake · February 14th, 2010, 04:21 PM

Alex, if you do add onother sub-forum for review of apparel / parts you might want to add this thread as a sticky. (just a suggestion)

If nothing else, we might think about a sticky for these types of threads. I voted for a separate sub-forum though. Good idea!

Alex · February 16th, 2010, 11:58 PM

So far it's pretty clear. Out of 34 votes to date, only 4 of them said not to make the change. If it stays like this, I'll try and make the change sometime this weekend.

Alex · February 19th, 2010, 09:31 PM

Done. Starting to move threads over. If you see one that should be moved, just post up in it and it'll bump to the top and I'll move it as soon as I see it.
