Something Wonderful Has Happened: you have found the homepage of the sublime usenet newsgroup uk.rec.motorcycles.
Here you'll find lots of stuff that will be invaluable in your quest to understand what the hell goes on from day to day on ukrm - from getting to grips with the ever-increasing list of obscure acronyms, through finding out a little bit more about some of the high-volume posters to the newsgroup, to information about the various meets, runs and tours that ukrm regulars (and very irregulars) get up to in real life. And yes, you at the back, most of us actually do have a life.
You'll also find personal reviews and opinions on bikes, old and new, on clothing and other kit, and on various imponderables such as the eternal "which tyre is best" holy wars.
New for this incarnation of the ukrm website are sections dedicated to trackdays, a viewpoints section and a "rants" section where anyone with a strong opinion about some aspect of bikes and biking can get it off their chest.
So, have a look around, and you might be lucky and find something worth reading. And check back now and again, as this version of the site should be updated much more frequently than the last. Honest.
