My Motorcycle Story Weekend - July 25th, 26th and 27th 2014

Calling all motorcyclists on Google+ and beyond. Please Share This Post.

#MyMotorcycleStory  - Prizes

+GetGeared.co.uk are providing gift tokens for the posts that receive the most +1’s and comments combined.  The prizes are £150 first place, £100 second place and £50 third place.  +GetGeared.co.uk ship internationally so you can all enter. Entries will be judged at 12 noon Monday 4th August.  Good Luck.

Post photos and short videos (60 seconds or less) on My Motorcycle Story Weekend - July 25th, 26th and 27th 2014 showing your history of motorcycles and including the stories associated with them.  You can post as many photos or videos as you like - in fact the more the merrier as we are trying to get the hashtag #MyMotorcycleStory  to trend on Google+ and raise the profile and image of motorcycling here.

New to motorcycling?  That’s great because we want to hear your story of why you started riding too.  We would love to see every motorcyclist on Google+ and elsewhere posting at least one story over that weekend.  It is important to include the hashtag#MyMotorcycleStory  so that we can find your posts.

If you're out on the weekend of July 25th, 26th and 27th and you see a bike like one you used to own why not take a photo of it and ask the owner how they got started?  Let’s use our online motorcycle social networking to add to our real life social networking.

The hashtag #MyMotorcycleStory  should first be used on July 25th 2014 if this campaign is to be successful. Please don't use it before this date, thank you.

7.000 miembros. ¡Celebremos!

La World Motorcycle Community (#WoMoCo) ya cuenta con 7.000 miembros.

Para celebrarlo hemos extendido el alcance de nuestra Comunidad a través de lo siguiente:

• Hemos creado una página central en womoco.org desde donde podrás acceder a nuestra amplia y variada gama de contenidos para moteros y motoristas.

• Por otra parte, hemos hecho este blog donde podremos comentar en más detalle las noticias de los posts de la #WoMoCo sobre el mundo de las motos y sus personajes.

• Por último hemos creado una cuenta en Twitter, @WoMoCo_org para poder hacer llegar los posts a mucha más gente y que vengan a formar parte de esta fascinante comunidad de moter@s.

Celebrating 7,000 Members

The World Motorcycle Community #WoMoCo has now reached a total of 7,000 members and to celebrate we've expanded the reach of our community by doing the following:

A few of the 7000

First of all we have set up a Hub Page at womoco.org where you can see all of our resources for motorcyclists. There are plenty of them!

Secondly we have set-up this Blog so that we can expand on the stories posted on #WoMoCo and bring even more coverage of the world of motorcycling and the people involved in it.

The third thing we have done is to set up a #WoMoCo Twitter account @WoMoCo_org so that we can spread the posts even wider and hopefully draw more people in to our ever growing and active community.

What Do You Think Of These Blogs? Be Honest And Respectful!

With the launch of the #WoMoCo Blog I thought it might be a nice idea to take a look at other Motorcycling Blogs that are available to feed our addiction to Motorcycling. The first batch up for review are those that responded to my post on +Google+ and Twitter showing that they will respond if you ask them to. Here’s the original post on #WoMoCo Calling All Motorcycle Bloggers and on Twitter -

Calling All Motorcycle Bloggers https://t.co/evRoqU2vmP
— #WoMoCo (@WoMoCo_org) January 30, 2014

Those who have responded, and therefore get special mention, are:

+EXPERIMENTAL GHOST who said, "I’m a bloke who was born last century in the western suburbs of Sydney, Australia. The topic of choice for my blog is motorcycling, but I may drift off into WTF?-land at times. Visit me at Experimental Ghost, Cheers."

+George Ferreira who wrote, "I'm George, I ride the best bike on the planet :-) Yamaha Super Tenere and I have a blog covering my trips at Riding The USA. Thank you."

+Jacqui Kennedy - "Riding a Postie Bike around Australia Postie Notes."

Jacquis Postie Bike

+Wiggysan Wiggysan wrote, "My blog: Wiggysan Says.  I really don't use it much apart from having live video streams of the #EWC Endurance World Championship races.  The last link was the Le Mans 24hr in September.Due my work with MotoPod and @MotoRaceReports @MotoRaceFeed on Twitter I get a steady number of hits when there is a race on.  The Suzuka 8 Hour Race blog  Welcome To 2013 Suzuka 8 Hour had an average of 1000 views for the last 3 hours. I was also doing live commentary on my personal Twitter account."

+Dan Michael said,  "I run a couple, one focussed solely on my passion for large throbbing v-twins at Ducati Blog.com.au and the other is a more general motorcycle blog with another mate who loves his Harley - Daily Bikers.
Great to hear you have one coming Lawrence!"

+Rania Madanat who is a motorcycling legend on the Social Networks and beyond has a blog called The Chronicles Of Rania and is the creator of the Women Motorcycle Enthusiasts Community over on +Google+.   Her contribution was to point us to her great collection of Motorcycling Blogs on Scoop.it.

+SpiritStrike.com posted, "I created an adventure blog that quickly turned into a motorcycle blog with ride reports and gear reviews. Check it out at Spirit Strike.com."

+John Nelson is one of the moderators on #womoco and has a blog called A Royal Enfield Bulleteer in Spain. He said, "Here are roads I've taken, tapas, Spanish wines, food, bikes and bikers I've had the pleasure of meeting along the way." Go on over and take a look.

+Stefan Kowalewski said,  "My blog is simply my views and thoughts around motorcycling and my motorcycle trips..." Anarchy In The Triangle.

And last but not least there is our blog that you're reading now.  Let us know what you think but most of all enjoy!
