HI and Welcome to the site spike1519

 

 

 

Hey Spike, welcome aboard!  If you are looking for members from the boards here in your area, look up to the members tab and you can search by people that have your bike, people in your area, etc.  If you are just looking in general I used Google and searched under "Motorcycle clubs San Diego" (which is my area) and kind of weeded through them until I found a group to ride with.  Looks like you got the home page thing all figured out.  The tags are so when someone is searching they will find your stuff.  For example if I posted pics of my bike I might tag it with Yamaha VStar1100 stuff like that.  Then if someone was searching for someone with an 1100 they would be more likely to see my bike.  There are a lot of Clubs you can join under the CLUBS tab up top.  These are just boards for people with common interests.  Let's see, as far as friends goes, if you ADD someone AS A FRIEND you will become their FAN until such time as they accept your invitation to become a FRIEND.  You found the STORIES right enough, the MESSAGE BOARDS have a lot of good info in them, and the Riders Helping Riders is very helpful for asking questions about your particular bike, provided of course someone knows about your particular bike!   Hopefully that answers most of your questions.  Anything else just ask away!  Somebody somewhere will know the answer!  As I say here at work, separately we are idiots, together we know everything there is to know!

Ride safe

Mike
