god there must be enough of us in the country to have somewhere to go chat on the internet surly+o(

I agree, but like most forums, they cost time and money to run. In NI Bikers case, I think Ryan only ever asked once for donations to help run the site, other than that he funded it himself. I'll have a chat with him and see if he's happy if I continued to use the NI Bikers name and possibly get the forum back up and running. Unfortunately for me, my time is very restricted at the minute. I'm about to start a major extension on the house that will take about 6-9 months to complete and my wife is 5 months pregnant but I'll hopefully sort something out in the gaps/free time I get.

This place is for cars

I'm not even a biker but I actually enjoy reading about them. There is a motorbike section on here already I don't see why anyone would be against expanding it. There has been a few runs out as well afaik. @ferrett I think organised at least one coast run.

There might be some merit in sub dividing the 'motorbike chat' section to seperate it out a bit to reflect what the bikers were used to on Ni-bikers. I'm sure @Cooper would facilitate that if there is agreement on the subdivisions.

It can only benefit the forum, we all share the road, why can't we share this wee space on the internetz.

Good to see a few guys joining up. Expanding the bike section would be great, a project section/ members bikes section would be class.

i thought a 2 stroke was a reallymeansound too.
so if everyone wants NIB back, you need a free proboards forum and enough room for 50-60 people. where is that sarcasm emoji?:p lol
and what bit do you want back, the 2nd or 3rd year full of real riders,,,, or the last year full of ,.......... pah! what would i know, i wasn't there :laughing:
doesn't think it needs to go all nib in here either. i think times have just changed and its all bakebook.
