Reviews

[fraser01]

I am not sure what all you peeps think, but this site is a live pot of information to all and sundry that visit... :D

What are peoples views on a section focused on reviews, having running threads, such as:

Bike:-
Tyres
Exhausts
undetrays
huggers

Riding gear:-
lids
gloves

We cover these topics on a regular basis and some really good stuff come out..but its a pain in the behind trying to find it at a later date...

anyhow would this be too much like hard work, am i being silly...

your answers on a used and discarded tissue please

Regards :D

Fraser :wink:

Excellent suggestion. I will contribute to the 'gloves' section when it is open.

[Baldyman]

Yeah, I agree, it must be as frustrating for the "old hands" who know "they have seen the info somewhere before" as it is is for the "newbies" who need extra guidance in the early days

[Cloggsy]

:notworthy:

Great idea :wink:

:shock: you calling me an 'old hand' :!:

:lol: :lol:

[furkuk]

Sounds like a damm fine idea :D

if the glove fits :wink:

if the glove fits :wink:

:lol:

"which glove would that be, and how would you rate it sir?" :D


Seems so far that peeps seem to think its a good idea, the big question is

A)how do you go about doing it?,
B)do we have to get a poll going or something?
C)do we tie in previous threads or start afresh?

I take it someone would have to climb the golden stairway to Big Johns office and ask him in a sqeaky voice
Please sir can i have some more?

:D

[Cloggsy]

Turn this into a Poll (edit your original post & include a poll question).

Send an e-mail to John (Admin - john@sv650.org) telling him about your idea & I'm sure he'll do the rest :wink:

[iainp999]

here's some ideas, apologies if they have been suggested before. please take it as "constructive criticiscm"

it wouldn't have to just be reviews, maybe there could be more granularity in the main sections too for example:-

sv - general sv topics
general discussion - chat not related to the bike
exhausts
engine
oil and tyres (generally do not mix but it seems OK here :-) )
equipment (leathers, gloves, helmets)

and others I have probably forgotten (e.g. the law, MOTs etc.)

on the car forum I also read, the mods have the ability to make some threads "sticky" so that they appear at the top of each section all the time. so, for example, if someone posts a guide to suspension modification or whatever and people find it useful, it can be marked as "sticky".

just a couple of ideas anyway.

[Baldyman]

Yeah Fraser, go on, you tell John like it is, yeah go on ............we're right behind you............................................... .............honest :wink:
But seriously, it 's a great idea, but the work involved may be prohibitive and this web site is, after all, on a volunteer basis

[fraser01]

Well I think people like the idea, polls running smoothly but will probably increase when everyone is back at work tomorrow.

I have not emailed John as of yet as i want to see if there are any more ideas floating around, as it is everyones site not just mine. :-k

So we are going to have one folder (that what i call it anyhow) with an on-going thread for each topic from tyres to lids to law to cleaning products and then let the members start adding there own posts in which ever thread...am i on the right lines here????? :help:

Throw me a fricking bone here!!! :shock:

Here fido :lol:

Yeah, that sounds right to me. One subsection for tyres, one for lids, etc (sub-section as in Idle Banter, General Discussion, etc.) Although I wonder if this would mean that things would get too fragmented...? :?

It's a good idea though, without doubt, and would be really useful for everyone :D

I thought about this, but thought that it would make the index massive, so i thought about one 'sub-section' with the various threads contained within.

or...

in a category called Reviews, sub sections listed:

Bike- containing sticky threads on tyres, huggers, fairing, cleaning items..etc

clothing- lids, leather 1/2 piece suits, jackets, trousers, boots, gloves..etc

and then leave everything else for the other threads. :)

Does that make sense?

[spudnuts]

This has to be the worst idea i ever heard of :wink: why didn't somebody think of it before, let's do it. Anybody know what an SV650 rides like. :lol:


I'll get me coat.

Fraser,

Sounds good. Maybe "Reviews" should be "Opinions", since "Reviews" gives the idea of more extended and knowledgeable opinion pieces than would actually appear :wink:

There is no-one more knowledgeable than the SV riders..ok :wink:

How about these:

"Members reviews"

"tried and tested kit"

"CRnP or NOT"

"The good, the bad and the in-between"

"Whats hot and wots not"

"Boutique bonanza"


Hows that for a few ideas

Regards :D

Dig deep in those pockets for your 2 pence worth... :D

More votes needed, 26 is great but when you compare with the number of members of 1700 something...... :lol:

:wink:

[fraser01]

one final time to see what people think. If you want these changes then please place your vote. :)

Regards

Fraser

[wigan650s]

[Cloggsy]

[fraser01]
