Just thought we should have a small thread which will help highlight bugs in Motoroids and try and get them fixed! Considering that a LOT of members are techies and can help value add to it!
Heres one from me:
When I click on any POST (and not the section) on the landing page, the site takes me to a dead link.
Reason:
This is the link to Chetans Hello thread: http://motoroids.com...hread.php?t=130
This is the link that is being used when I click on the new post on the landing page for the thread:
http://motoroids.com...o=newpost&t=130
This leads to a dead page at times!

You can correct it by removing the goto=newpost tag from the link!

I have missed these in the other forums which I use and just wanted to give you a thought on these addons.
I am not sure how great this will be, or how much load it will put on the forum though
Was just lazing around the vbulletin forum and found these.

He he.. nice new thread name 
The wiki concept is awesome!
besides had few suggestions from my side too..
I'll try and prepare a group riding bible or something
and post it.. you guys can edit it and we will keep updating as and when we have new inputs
Secondly, before every ride we can just get a list of emergency contacts and blood group on the forum itself so that we dont scare people off when we meet. Motoreps/The one who organises the ride should keep a printed copy of it during the ride. (I was thinking that this should be filled in when people register! )
A list of saftey practises which can be listed. (like spidey's thread)
Worksop on first aid: I tried searching the net but no luck. If anyone knows about the free workshop on First Aid, we can organise a G2G. I heard the Govt. itslef is giving some seminars frequently.
Organizing a basic vehicle maintenance workshop : Like tightening the chain, changing oil, fixing the bike's headlamp/fuse, cleaning the air filter.. If we could catch a good mechanic and request him to explain all these, it would be very useful especially for the tourers

Eagerly awaiting a workshop like this for theoretical people like me who have 0% practical knowledge... Heck once I tried to tighten my clutch and screwed something up and I had to take it to the service guys... I, for one wouldnt mind paying for such a workshop.. Hope something like this happens soon...

1) Bible - Will wait for you to create a thread..
2) Workshop - Such a section exists needs to be tweaked and tagged appropriately
3) Safety Protocols lets use spideys point as a reference point
Also the list for MotoReps has to be a city specific one, we will discuss this further in MotoReps section
Also Discussed:
A portal for buying multi brand riding gear...

Not in text satyen, but a practical way of doing it. We can arrange a workshop, pool in money and pay a good mechanic to come and explain it to us in person for various bikes.
It can be of,
clutch cable adjustment/replacement,
chain tightening and tension measurement,
how to replace a chain lock in-case it gets cut-off,
how to adjust/replace the throttle cable,
replace a punctured tyre tube/using tubeless puncture kit,
adjusting the light beam focus,
replacing engine oil,
quick remedies incase of engine/fork/brake oil leaks,
suspension adjustment,
how to check for a faulty swingarm bushes,
how to check for a faulty cone set,
few problems caused by battery,
tuning for a perfect air-fuel mixture,
adjusting idling rpm,
jump starting a bike
and more..
this way we can also know that if a mechanic is asking us to replace a good clutch cable, we will come to know that he is fooling us
besides, I have faced this problem while touring long distances.. we have wasted a lot of time searching a mechanic for these minor (DIY) issues.

Ah ok! What happens in motomeets is for MotoReps to decide
so go ahead!!! Its a nice idea!!!I would still say lets start with some DIY thread as well first... like Santaa has done for the R15, Bluevolt has done for Ninja on xBHP.... something like that to start off with, and then move it to the next level! What say?

Sounds Cool!
may be we can create threads for specific bikes/purpose!A moderator/thread starter can keep updating the first page a gist of all the things discussed so that we can avoid jumping into pages and pages of posts

Good one Inder! I had done it long back, but was lazy to write up a tutorial for it!
This attitude is much appreciated! After all this is a forum by its members and for its members!
Cheers!
