Here's one-- http://www.reduc.com/ Thanks, Steve. As it looks like I will soon be a Brit bike owner, I'll check it out. I'm having a hell of a time trying to find a similar club here in Denver.

~smidgley Sat, Nov 22, 1997 (15:03) #3

There are two British clubs in Colorado that I know of. Norton Colorado Rick Black, 4690 Pierce St. Wheatridge, CO. (303)420-2654 The other is Colorado British Bike Owners (or something like that)- the president, Ray Farrell, is a member of our club. I won't post his phone number but you can find it in the Colorado Springs directory.

~Hoop Sat, Nov 22, 1997 (16:03) #4

2 great sites. Guess I'm more partial to the Brit site. How often do you see Vincents that actually are MOVING? Ah--and the Ariel square four--delightful! The classic Norton--priceless! What great pics!! For those interested in the Honda Single Overhead Cam Engines--visit http://www.voicenet.com/~stauffer/ For those interested in the Kawasaki Z-1 visit http://www.concentric.net/~kgoldman/kawc.shtml Enjoy Hoop

~Ed Sat, Nov 22, 1997 (20:46) #5

Uh, I know this place that is sort of "rough" if you like it like that. Check out Boomer's Homepage at http://www.wildboomer.com/. No flames please... every now and then I like to get back to my more wild and wooly days...Boomer takes me back there. Ed

~Afor Sat, Nov 22, 1997 (20:58) #6

Will definitely check out the Honda SOHC site to see if it has the 200/250 twin.

~triumph Sun, Nov 23, 1997 (01:56) #7

Thanks, Steve. I went down to Fay Myers today and they weren't too helpful themselves, although they gave me the name of a place called "Isles Motors" that does nothing but Triumph restorations. This guy should be a good source--I'll call him on Monday.

~terry Sun, Nov 23, 1997 (08:17) #8

Does anyone have any connections to get us linked from other motorcycle sites? We're talking pulling some strings here.

~triumph Sun, Nov 23, 1997 (13:22) #9

What might help is if we had an "intro page", like www.spring.com/motorcycles/ . This would make it easier to get links from large moto directories like Motorcycle Shopper. From there, of course, we can link to the spring.com page. I'm not sure that they'll link us if I submit "www.spring.com" and they find party pictures instead of a motorcycle site. ;-)

~terry Sun, Nov 23, 1997 (13:54) #10

We can easily do that, are there any html whizzes here that would volunteer to help with this page? We can easily create a page like that. In fact, I'll create a skeleton page now.

~Cafe Mon, Nov 24, 1997 (08:01) #11

Hey I've been a "Boomer" fan for a while now! Seems like a good ol' boy. Good to have this area IMO! I can maybe do some NYC area linking, I'll let you know.

~terry Mon, Nov 24, 1997 (10:53) #12

http://www.spring.com/motorcycle Look for further developments. Another Spring FrontPage 98 enabled website. Inspired by guess who?

~Cafe Mon, Nov 24, 1997 (11:46) #13

"genediscuss"? Very good looking, and a needed page. Now I can post around and get others involved. Thanks!

~triumph Mon, Nov 24, 1997 (13:49) #14

I got my inspiration from the WebBoard box (the white and black boxes, that is). As for FP98, shame on you Terry. I hate FP--I code all my stuff manually. :-)

~terry Mon, Nov 24, 1997 (14:37) #15

I do too. But some folks need a crutch.

~triumph Mon, Nov 24, 1997 (15:14) #16

What "inspiration" were you referring to, out o' curiosity. I'd atleast like to know who I'm plagarizing! :-)

~smidgley Wed, Nov 26, 1997 (02:16) #17

http://www.cowin-tech.com/ducati/ This site has links to dozens of other sites, both Ducati related and of general motorcycle interest.

~Cafe Wed, Nov 26, 1997 (10:25) #18

How about http://www.magpie.com/nycmoto for a look at what goes on (here). http://www.roadgear.com for good prices IMHO. and for Stacey http://www.thunderbike.co.nz also http://www.sportriders.com and http://www.cybercyclemag.com More to .come!

~BikeSite Wed, Nov 26, 1997 (15:27) #19

Hello I would like to introduce myself, my name is Brian and I maintain "Ramonas Bike Site " at < A HREF="http://members.aol.com/ramonahall/BikeSite/BikeSite.htm I was hoping for some feedback on the page. Thanks Brian Knoblock

~Cafe Wed, Nov 26, 1997 (16:39) #20

Nice site, Brian. Sadly, CrossRoads has been superceded by this site so far. Hope you'll be back for comments?

~terry Wed, Nov 26, 1997 (17:19) #21

Welcome Brian, come on back!

~triumph Thu, Nov 27, 1997 (12:26) #22

Be sure to tell the operators of all the sites you visit about this site so that hopefully some will link to us. http://www.spring.com/motorcycle/

~triumph Fri, Nov 28, 1997 (16:52) #23

Hey Terry, can you access this yapp system with telnet? If so, how? Thanks.

~terry Fri, Nov 28, 1997 (18:23) #24

Just email me (terry@spring.com) for an account and I'll set it up for you. No sweat.

~Hoop Sat, Nov 29, 1997 (11:06) #25

If you are going to Sturgis for the Rally, be sure to check out the Jackpine Gypsie site at www.sturgis-rally.com Hope to see all of you at Sturgis! Hoop

~Afor Sat, Nov 29, 1997 (14:36) #26

Well, you won't see all of us at Sturgis but...

~Afor Wed, Dec 3, 1997 (07:05) #27

THe new address for the SOHC/4 club is http://www.voicenet.com/~stauffer/sohc4/ Owning a SOHC Honda (or parts thereof), I was interested in a Honda SOHC site until I realized it was all about fours.

~Afor Wed, Dec 3, 1997 (07:06) #28

WHat's the address for Special K's website?

~triumph Wed, Dec 3, 1997 (13:45) #29

Speaking o' which, where's he been lately?

~triumph Wed, Dec 3, 1997 (13:50) #30

Terry, what's this "Fairwitness" stuff? Was the author of this software a big Robert Heinlein fan?

~Cafe Wed, Dec 3, 1997 (18:53) #31

1) Shebee, I'll have the AirTech URL tomorrow. 2) http://www.ace-cafe-london.com Check it OUT! Especially Jon, and Shebee (comments?). Although I saw my first Rickman Metisse about the time the cafe closed, I bought into this stuff and I'm still sellin' it today! Nice pix on a nice new site. I understand they're trying again.

~terry Wed, Dec 3, 1997 (22:30) #32

That's kind of stiff sounding, "fairwitness", it can be easily changed by the host or by me.

~triumph Wed, Dec 3, 1997 (22:56) #33

Did you ever read "Stranger In A Strange Land"?

~Cafe Fri, Dec 5, 1997 (12:06) #34

Here's a good one for the British-inclined http://www.webbikes.uk.co Nice site, even has a conference-thing. Maybe BJ can get the word on future Triumph US marketing.

~Ed Sat, Dec 6, 1997 (08:40) #35

Folks, not sure how this got around to Heinlein books, but I have been a Heinlein fan since about 1957 or so when I read his 1st book, HAVE SPACESUIT WILL TRAVEL. I was 10 then. Since than, I have read all his books several times over...latest thing was the movie STARSHIP TROOPERS. Just my 2 cents worth. Ed

~ramblinman Sat, Dec 6, 1997 (11:00) #36

Frank, I can't get the website URL to work for me, I'd love for Triumph to come out and tell us American riders that their commitment was firm and that they are in for the long haul. I still have a attachment to the new Hinckley Triumphs and it is fun to ride a "different" bike than everybody else has! If you can get me the proper URL, I will check it out. Thanks my friend. Tailwinds, BJ

~PTE1 Sat, Dec 6, 1997 (11:01) #37

Well here is my very first attempt to learn Web Pages... Unfortunately I do not have the ability to "Code My Own" that Jon does, and the publisher I am using leaves a bit to be desired. I inserted a few of the links you all have included here ( hope no one minds). All I need now is a better scanner so I can use better pics and a better publisher to get the look I want... Please Email with Tips, Comments, or Critiques.... Shane http://members.aol.com/PTE1/index.html

~smidgley Sun, Dec 7, 1997 (00:19) #38

The address for Web Bikes is http://www.webbikes.co.uk/

~Shane Mon, Dec 8, 1997 (19:41) #39

Okay, check out attempt #2. I gave the Spring a "Glowing" link... hehehe http://members.aol.com/PTE1/index.html

~ramblinman Mon, Dec 8, 1997 (20:50) #40

Shane, nice site that Wing is a great bike, wouldn't be surprized if my next bike may be a Touring rig as 50 is sneaking up much faster than I want and comfort is becoming a factor in "the purchase"! Tailwinds, BJ

~TRA Sat, Dec 13, 1997 (19:02) #41

here are two more web site that are quite well done.Both are about Ventures The Yamaha Venture Page http://web.bryant.edu/~redwards/yamaha/yamaha.html Tages Homepage http://www.arosnet.pp.se/tage/ Happy TRAils/NSD Paul

~Cafe Mon, Dec 22, 1997 (11:00) #42

For the US Laverda Owners Club site http://www.hevanet.com/lavrgs/USALOC1.htm

~Afor Tue, Jan 6, 1998 (20:05) #43

Check this out! http://206.247.198.246:8080/

~Hoop Sat, Jan 10, 1998 (10:53) #44

Sam, Thanks for the directions to a great site! What gives? I thought XRoads was down for the count. It is fantastic to see it alive and kicking!!! Hoop

~Afor Sat, Jan 10, 1998 (23:58) #45

This is the third iteration of XRoads, or XRoads III, if you will. It all depends on Jon's resources and determination, both of which seem to be up at this point in time.

~Cafe Thu, Mar 26, 1998 (09:48) #46

OK it seems XR has gone up in smoke (again). Here are 2 links of interest I put on there Tuesday: http://www.motorcyclememories.com , great books, manuals, posters, etc. They just sent me search results for 80's Laverda reference sources long enough I gotta download 'em, and the search is free! Which leads me to http://www.europeancycles.com, a California shop full of good stuff, including a Laverda RGS in the used bikes section, which *may* have my name on it..

~BikeSite Tue, Mar 31, 1998 (14:32) #47

You can Check out a Temp XRoads at http://www.customforum.com/xroads/ Later Brian http://members.aol.com/ramonahall/

~Rodehogger Wed, Apr 15, 1998 (12:55) #48

The above temp site has been replaced by a permanent Motorcycle XRoads (Crossroads) site. The correct URL is the following: http://www.fp-webs.com:8080/~XRoads Rodehogger

~zx6rider Sat, Apr 18, 1998 (21:55) #49

Hi guys. I just wanted to post a quick thank you to Frank for introducing me to Sportriders New England. They are a really nice bunch of folks.

~terry Fri, May 4, 2001 (00:22) #50

Here's Doc Flash's City Bike column: http://www.best.com/~citybike/

~AlFor Tue, Jul 29, 2003 (18:50) #51

The current Motorcycle Crossroads is at: http://www.motorcyclex-roads.com/ I have recently created a site about my bike (no longer mine, I sold it last November): http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=394613&make_type_query=make%3DHonda&model_brand_query=model%3Ddel%20Sol&tree=Honda%20del%20Sol

~AlFor Tue, Jul 29, 2003 (18:52) #52

This may be an easier URL for my site: http://www.cardomain.com/id/samblob

~MarciaH Wed, Jul 30, 2003 (10:01) #53

Great site, Sam. I had trouble loading the enlarged photos,though. Possibly my fault because I multitask big time. Take a few photos of your new mount, and this time, take the helmet off, please!

~AlFor Thu, Jul 31, 2003 (20:57) #54

I don't know; I think the helmet helps in the anonymity department... Anyway, my new "mount" is a car, so I don't think I'll be wearing a helmet.
