Throughout the long history of Harley Davidson motorcycles, there has existed some kind of attraction to a brotherhood amongst owners. You can witness this daily as you watch two motorcycle riders pass each other on the road. Inevitably some kind of greeting takes place, it may be a head nod, a wave, a thumbs up, who knows but they will acknowledge each other based on nothing more than they both ride motorcycles.
I am sure that nobody really knows where this code of ethics came from or where the group dynamic starts or ends but it's a real thing that you can see every day. If time or weather permits then of course riding is where the friendships and fraternity grows but when it's too cold or time doesn't permit, then a new type of biker bar or club has emerged, and that's the online internet forum.
Today's Biker Club
The clubhouse of today is digital and allows riders from all over the country to congregate and share those stories, without ever leaving the comfort of their house. The message board is commonplace around the internet and in a variety of niches so it is no surprise that you will find it in the biker world.
If you are not familiar with a message board or forum then it's a website where you can register and interact with other members by leaving messages or "posts" for them to read. It might sound kind of dull but it's really quite engaging if you give it a chance and stick around long enough to learn the personalities of those involved. The best part is that these forums are there day or night, all year long. It's a biker bar that doesn't close.
A Couple of Larger Forums
Below are a few of these "forums" that we personally belong to and find entertaining. There are certainly a lot of them on the internet and they all bring something to the table but we like these and would recommend them as ones you should check out and see if they work for you.
HDForums - This is probably the largest Harley forum there is on the internet and it has a huge membership base. It's almost too big though as you don't get a real feel for the personalities and it's definitely very corporate. What I mean is that you are barraged with advertisements during your entire time there, including extremely annoying pop up ads if you hover over the wrong thing etc. It's a great forum but the ads are annoying.
VTwinforums - This forum is similar to HDForums but more technically oriented. HDForums is more for the average Joe while VTwinforum is more for the guy who likes to work on his own motorcycle and might need help doing it. It's also very corporate and has paid membership options if you want to get rid of the ads.
HawgNet - This site brings a lot to the table when it comes to the Harley Davidson world and we only hope to make it grow even larger with your help. This is a relatively new forum that is still on the rise and could use all the members it can get. We hope you will stop by and check it out.
These are just three of the forums that I have found or know about and I am sure that there are dozens more but these three show a lot of promise and you can likely find whatever you might need at one of these three. - 30329
