Wow, I can't believe it's already May! But that's a good thing because at least everyone is getting some nice riding weather, and there is some type of motorcycle event happening in every area of the country almost every weekend. We know this for a fact because Laura (HDBeech) is working harder than ever to keep the CycleFish Event Calendar up to date. Speaking of the event calendar...If you know of events in your area that are not listed in our calendar, please let us know about them. You can either tell the event organizer about our calendar so they may list their event, list the event in the calendar yourself, or just drop a message with the event details to user EventMan and we will get it listed.
Let's Congratulate our three May Bike of the Month Winners. For the Stock Class: LadyDragon and her 2000 Road King; for the Chopper/Custom Class Duckster and his 2006 Big Bear Chopper; and for the Vintage Class 1941roy and his 1927 Douglas 350 EW...
CycleFish Still Growing
We just passed the 8,000 member mark and with riding season upon us, we are seeing more and more new members joining CycleFish every day. Like all of us, they join CycleFish to meet new friends and riding partners, share stories, photos and information, and just want to be a part of the best and fastest growing biker and motorcycle communities on the internet. So when you see a new member, be sure to take a minute to welcome them to the site!
Don't forget to take a minute to check out the CycleFish Garage Feature with ServiceTracker. We have been getting some really great feedback from those using it, especially regarding the ServiceTracker feature. Learn more about the CycleFish Garage!
We Need Your Help
As I am sure most of you realize, the CycleFish network is not free to maintain and took a lot to develop and get to where it is today. We rely 100% on motorcycle related business to support the site either through upgrading their business profiles, or directly advertising on the site. So for those of you who are personal users of the site, be sure to let all of your local motorcycle businesses know about CycleFish. If you would like some business cards to pass out, just drop a message to user CycleFishAdmin, and we will be happy to send you some.
For those of you who have business profiles, we ask that you take a look at the benefits of upgrading your site, and/or advertising on CycleFish. In addition to all the benefits you will receive from advertising on one of the fastest growing motorcycle focused websites, you will also be helping to support our great community, which I know our users will show their appreciation for.
CycleFish Meet & Greets
I am probably more excited about the CycleFish Meet & Greets we have coming up, than anything else on the site. As you know, my primary goal has always been for people to come together, have fun, and make great friends, and it is happening in a big way.
West Coast Meet & Greet at the Redwood Run - The CycleFish party in Redwood is always a good one, but this year will top all. At last count we have 38 people attending and 8 maybe attending. I am sure we will see that number continue to climb.
Central US Meet & Greet in Bowling Green KY - This CycleFish only party is being generously coordinated by stephaniebritt, with lots of help from other members. On a personal note...due to circumstances beyond our control, Laura and I will not be able to attend this event as we originally planned. We are sincerely disappointed that we will not get to meet all of our wonderful CycleFish friends who are attending, but will be thinking of you.
Sturgis CycleFish Meet & Greet at The Buffalo Chip - There may be a change in the location of the event at the Buffalo Chip Campground, so be sure to check the event listing for updates. In addition, we (Laura & Lucky) will be arriving early to setup up camp and are hoping to have many of our CycleFish members camping in the area with us.
Keep up to date on what is happening with these events on their calendar listings by clicking the event name. You can also keep up on new Meet & Greets as they pop up, or help start one in your area by going to the CycleFish Meet & Greet forum.
Preferred CycleFish Businesses...
Please remember these businesses, along with the ones you see ads for in the right column, as these are the businesses who support the CycleFish site. Please take the time to visit their profiles and their businesses to show your appreciation for their support.
Investment Opportunity! We are currently working on the plans to take CycleFish to the next level including an array of new features, mass advertising campaigns, and an improved infrastructure to handle all of the proposed growth. To accomplish our goals, we need to acquire some investment capital which we have decided to do via a group of small investments from interested parties. If you are interesed in investing in the future of CycleFish, please drop a note to Lucky letting me know, and I will provide you additional details.
As always, we want to thank each and every one of you for being a part of the CycleFish community. Remember, this is your website, not ours (we just maintain it for you). Those who are active in the CycleFish community, sharing photos, adding content, and making friends, have already realized the benefits of being a part of a community sharing the same interest...motorcycles and riding. So if you haven't stopped by in a while, you need to check back in and see what's been going on. And don't forget to tell everyone you know about CycleFish, so that our community can continue to grow.
Regards,
Lucky & Laura (HDBeech)
