UKRM

UKRM stands for uk.rec.motorcycles. It is a newsgroup, part of Usenet. It can be somewhat anarchic at times (bikers being somewhat independent souls) but it is rarely dull. It has the unusual distinction of disregarding the notion of "on topic", although some posters prefer to head threads unconnected with biking as "OT". The ethos is that it functions as a club, where bikers (including those with an interest in bikes) gather to chat, but where the conversation as often as not has nothing to do with bikes.

The newsgroup has a FAQ - worth reading before posting.

Many of the regulars have met in real life. There are a number of runs and meets in different parts of the country. Have a browse or a google to find out more. Because many of us have known each other for some years the group can feel a bit "cliquey" at times. It isn't - everyone is well aware that it is a public forum, and newcomers are welcome.

We've accumulated a few photographs over the years - the link title gives the venue.
