  Please review these rules prior to posting any public content on the CycleFish.com website.  These rules apply to ALL areas of the website including, but not limited to, your personal profile, photo albums, comments on any profile (including your own) blogs, and the forum.

  There are two main reasons for maintaining an acceptable content standard here on CycleFish. 1) To ensure that no user feels uncomfortable, offended, or threatened by any content they may encounter on our website. 2) Most advertisers, current and planned, have terms of service restricting their ads or brand names to be displayed on a site which contains, in their opinion, unacceptable content.

  That being said, we also realize that each member of our site is required to be at least 18 years of age, and this is a site that depicts the biker lifestyle which we know can sometimes contain mature content.  So we will do our best to define a line that satisfies everyone involved. 

   

  Images - Includes pictures, photographs, and life-like drawings or computer generated images, posted anywhere on the site.

  Note from Lucky - CycleFish Founder:
  

  We welcome all riders and motorcycle enthusiasts here at CycleFish.com to join our community, share and make friends.  However - and I will be very straight forward here - I started this site after being a member of a number other "biker sites" and simply got tired of all the BS on many of those sites... i.e. rude and/or nasty people, spamming of the blogs and forums with BS, being hit on constantly, non-bikers bashing the biker community, political & religious rants, prejudice/bigotry, etc, etc.  So if that's what you’re looking for, you're probably be better off looking for another place to do that.  But if you’re looking for a friendly place to get away from all that BS and just hang out and have a good time... Welcome to the site!

   

   

  If you have any questions or comments regarding these policies, please message the CycleFish Administrator.
