Mr Kevin Case, from The Trap, just posted an article on his blog about the birth of Motorcycle-Journal.com and this has prompted me a little blurb of my own. Motorcycle-Journal.com was Suzuki-Bikes.com which I joined in September 2003 even before having a motorcycle of my own. At the time, I joined that forum since I was looking into getting a Suzuki. I ended up getting a used Kawasaki but that’s another story which you can find in the archive sections. At one point, we decided to try to spawn similar forums for Honda and Yamaha but even with the efforts put in by the two Admins of the time, Robert and myself, these two forums didn’t quite catch on. For a time, the forums sections of these websites where redirected to Suzuki-Bikes.com. So, in the last few months, there was a lot of discussion between what I call the management team of the site and we decided to expand into a formal, multibrand community.
Motorcycle-Journal.com is officially owned by John Scott and managed by (currently) 3 admins and 2 super moderators (one of them being Kevin). THe front end of Motorcyle-Journal.com is a blog on which the management team publishes articles once in a while and a multibrand forum of 6600+ members.
