OK! That's great, thanks mike.
How about you, fasterdammit? I'm guessing that's the way you saw it - you with the bike newsy stuff , and I'll look after the 'creative' stuff.
Unless someone comes up with something better than "Aiming for the Apex" etc, say by the end of next week - St Valentines's Day - I'll go with that for a Forum name.

Mike,
I'd be honored to moderate the bike talk forum. Very cool! So do we relegate it to strictly Ducati talk, or motorcycles in general? I'm thinking, if we leave it open, there's greater opportuntiy to attract traffic.
hmm ... what to call it ... I like the Write Line, but at a glance, I'd almost expect to see ride reports or stuff that should appear in Aiming for the Apex (which I really like). So, just throwing stuff out there ... Industry Talk, Pulse of the Industry, Background Static/Noise, Two Wheeled News, Life on Two Wheels, Two Wheeled Life, Tuesday Night Topics/Talk, Ride Topics/Talk/Discussions, Bike Banter ... Any of these sitting well with anybody?

Just because you're not dead doesn't necessarily mean you're living, either.

I reckon your "newsy bike talk" forum should not be restricted to Ducati stuff, Jake. as you say, keeping it open increases its potential.
also, I reckon your're right about 'The Write Line'. after I posted that suggestion I started to think the same way.
of the other possibilities you suggest, I like "Background Static". there's a bit of a kick to it, and it's a bit tech, also.
hmm ... how about
'PISTON SLAP' - background noise and news
or
'TAPPET RATTLE' - ditto

Ooooh, now I'm seeing something ... Clutch Chatter? (Ok, so that sounds more like a forum for dry clutch bikes ... ) hm, Idle Noise/Noises? 'Idle' lends itself in two directions ... and every bike has an idle (or at least, they're supposed to when they're running). Or what about Two Wheel Talk? Of those two, I like Idle Noise ...

"Exhaust Notes" came to me later this afternoon ...Skins wrote:then we've got other bike effects, like 'COMBUSTION' and 'INTAKE'. 'EXHAUST' is a no-no, I suspect.
Mike? What's your take?
