So, you’re new to BIKE ME!? You love bikes? We want to hear from you in our Australian motorcycle forum.<\/p>\n

Here’s how to get started.<\/p>\n

First, read the Rules of Engagement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Second, register. There’s a handy link here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Third, go to Ice Broken Here forum. Create a new topic to introduce yourself. You’ll need a title and a post.<\/p>\n

Titles aren’t hard. Be creative. “Elvis has entered the building” “owyergoinallright?” “Give me ze plans, old man” “Ducati rider seeks gay lover”.<\/p>\n

Or don’t be creative. “I’m here. Where’s the beer?” Like we give a stuff. You’re in an Australian motorcycle forum, not a coven of journalism critics.Tell us a bit about yourself. Your hopes, your dreams, your ambitions, what the Christian Brothers told you not to tell anyone about in high school. OK, we know that’s a bit personal. At least tell us what you ride and what you do for a living.<\/p>\n

You will shortly be cocooned in the warm enveloping love of the BIKE ME! clan. Or be descended upon by a pack of slavering wolves. We wish we could work out under what circumstances these alternatives apply, but so far it escapes us.<\/p>\n

Life’s a gamble. Throw the dice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
