www.bikerworkshop.com

Many of you will have noticed that I have been a bit quiet on the forum for the last couple of months. The main reason is that I have been working on a new review site;

All the latest motorcycle accessory and industry news - Bikerworkshop.com

The site is mainly aimed at news and reviews for motorcycle accessories with a bit of general biker and sport news thrown in for good measure. Grotbag will be working with me on the new site because she seems to have a good nose for digging out articles as many of you have seen on this site.

In the very near future we will be contacting as many manufacturers and agents as possible for news updates and items for reader review so will need regular contributors/testers to try out new accessories ranging from workshop items to clothing. The way this is going to work is that we will publish a limited review on the forum together with the full article on the new site, if you are interested in doing this please let me know via PM.

Reviewers will be chosen from a broad range of bikers, i.e. from learner bikers to experienced ones but you must satisfy some criteria;
  1. You must be able to produce an article with an honest review of the item being tested (about an A4 size)
  2. You must be able to take good quality images to illustrate your article
  3. You must reside in the UK (for postage purposes)
As yet we don't really know how ownership of the items is going to work, but I would like it to be something like this....

Any unwanted, serviceable item can be returned to me and can be auctioned off for charity at the end of the year. It could also be the case that the supplier will want the item back - I just don't know at this stage, so will have to play it by ear until the site is fully established. Also the review will possibly have to pay postage to their home (which would be worth it for some freebies eh).

In the mean time I would like to get some feedback from you all concerning the site - have a play around it and let me know what you think. Try to be constructive but be as honest as possible, I have a very thick skin
