Got to know about this site after reading vamp's review. Went through other reviews written and found that people are either very happy or not at all impressed by the website.
The site is heavily loaded with images making it very slow to load. You need to register to read the contents of the site. Had to register with the site to enter it, even when I don't want to write anything over there. Why?
After reading some latest topics, it seems like there is only one bike in India which is the best and thats bajaj pulsar. Any other company who launches a bike can never have a product better than pulsar. Make me wonder if I'm on a bike website or website of bajaj pulsar. On the news that hero honda has launched a new 150cc bike people have already wrote it off saying it will be a big flop, piece of crap, etc. When none of them have seen the bike in flesh forget about test riding it. Looks like the case of kids feeling insecure about their newly acquired toys.
The website claims to have over 10,000 members which seems to be due to the fact that they have forced people to register even when they don't plan to visit again.
Some people do go out riding out of city limits but that number seems to be 1% and remaining 99% are probably happy reading about their adventure and drooling over the pictures.
The website also satisfies the dream of almost every young bike rider, the dream to see or talk about the fast bikes sold abroad. You can see many topics devoted to such talks.
What is sad to read is that again and again people are meeting with some serious accidents and instead of spreading awareness they are repeating the same mistakes again and again. Read about some kid in delhi who is undergoing some operation after having a accident few months back. The guys involved in stunts keep on meeting with accidents and making their parents worry about their kid.
Amongst with all this there do seems to be one or two good topics like first hand experience on different tyres, about engine oil, etc.
I have been on the site for just over 2 days so I might have missed things but this is what all I could gather in this short duration.
