Don´t know what´s going on with your inbox Steve but this is a car forum and bike adverts get deleted along with all the other non car stuff.

it would have been nice to be told that it was deleted, rules are rules and I'm fine with that but i thought id seen lots of bike ads on here. Perhaps we should call it Retro- Drives after all you ride a bike not a car !!!

But when does it stop? First you let them in bus lanes, then in the for sale section, they creep onto the genral board and then take over the world. ;D Could always start a thread in the other mods section, with a now selling added. Honda for sale there as I type (not mine though, you ain't having that)

I'd love it if you were allowed to sell bikes, i have 2 i'm desperate to sell, retro ones as well, someone on here would no doubt love them. Its not like i'm trying to get them in the general board, or a readers ride section, i just want to pass them on, so i can buy another car!
If no one wanted them, they'd drop off the bottom of the forsale board as quick as!
It just moderating for moderatings sake!!! Simples!

I imagine there is Mr H, but at the same time there's hundreds of forums to sell your Ford Transit MK4, or 2007 Seat Ibiza, but there still allowed! Its Retro RIDES, not Retro CARS... Just work with us a lil...

I have to say that even the bike forums arent that brilliant for retro bikers, as your feel out of place if you don't have the newest cbrf1300gtrs thingamabob that you only bought to take to the nurburgring . As soon as you say you are looking for a mid 80s GP125 or H100 you tend to get ignored . Plus the scooters forums are worse, as you need to have an Aprilia or your just a 'saddo' So please HoTWire, can we just have the parts section for our bike bits, even if there is a pre 1995 only rule

Just work with us a lil... Don't get hung up on the name get hung up on : I made some nod towards outside but related interests with the readers other mods section. However we won't be having non car things for sale. We try to stop people taking the mick with selling newer cars and the majority of the for sale section is pre-90-ish which seems to be a reasonable definition of retro for most people. If you are finding that there aren't places to talk about your retro motorbikes, or to sell you retro motorbikes, do what I did when I couldn't find somewhere to talk about the cars I wanted to talk about, set up a forum. Who knows it could be the start of a great adventure. Or use ebay.

I have to pipe up here,
This is retro rides, bike pics are often posted, choppers, custom, classic etc. Bikes are oftern featured in the readers other mods section. And as can be seen above there is more then likely to be a demand for retro bike related sales option. There is a lot of traffic on the bike related threads, seemingly there is demand.
As a forum shouldnt we be open to suggestions on how to make the site appeal more to the users? What I'm saying is, we can discuss bikes, post pics of classic bikes and put full build/resto /mod threads in the various sections. To say you cant sell them is seemingly a bit harsh (let me be clear I'm only talking retro/custom bikes here)
Dunno, seems fair, or is it me?

I have one thing to say here.
The rules are the rules. Rules are made for a reason and should be obeyed. This is Hotwires forum it is not a democracy so just accept his response and move on!!
Threads like this continuing after an anwser has been given only serve to get on peoples nerves which is not what retro rides is about.
Modified Old Cars Modified Old Cars Modified Old Cars oh did I forget to say Modified Old Cars.

(p.s. you might have guessed I don't like bikes ;D. don't me wrong there is a place for them so do it in there maybe a subboard in the readers other mods section?)

Not trying to cause any upsets but wouldn't a pole sort this? I couldn't care less about whether bikes are on here or not but if there's enough intrest then what harm could it do?

Not wanting to fuel the fire, but I thought motorbikes were allowed to be sold in the Parts for Sale thread?
*edit. Oops. Fingers failed.

+1 for them being allowed. ive got/have had bikes, and see them just a relevant (probably more so) than a lot of the late model detritus that gets posted on here. as has been said in the past, and as is used to justify the inclusion of 'interesting' late model stuff, if no ones interested theyll just drop off the page. but seeing as the bike threads are some of the most-read threads in the other mods section, i think theres a place for them here. just because the staff don't have any interest in bikes themselves doesnt mean thats the case for the rest of the readership
