Who Thinks The Answers Motorcycle Section Should Be Categorized?

I think the questions section should be categorized by bike type. I'm a sportbiker and I mostly answer questions about sportbikes. So I'd have to search through every question just to find one of relevance to me. If I could just click on sportbikes I could have a field day.

The computers section is split up into internet questions, hardware questions, and software questions. So should Motorcycles.

We need Harley, sportbikes, dirtbikes / ATV, scooters, and cruisers and other categories. If you think so answer here and hit up the suggestion link to let the moderators know.

Jim K: It's not really about segregation based on distaste for any type of bike. The point is to be better organized so people can get the answers they need more easily. I answer more than I ask so it would be cool to just see questions I know I can answer.

I think sub-categories with in the motorcycle section would be a great idea.

I personally am into the Scooters and questions relating to Scooters, and I enjoy helping folks when and where I can help. Cruisers and Sport bikes are O.K. as well, but, for the most part, I would avoid questions on these bikes if I could.

I also do not believe sub-categories to be divisive after all everything would still be In the Motorcycle Section. If you, however, do believe such things are divisive, perhaps the problem is yours and you need to do a little self examination.

You would not look for information about home repair in the Automotive section, but yet, many people park their cars in a garage attached to their home.

However this section should be arranged on Yahoo Questions in the future, on the road, riding our bikes with the wind in our face, where it really counts, we are all brothers and sisters. No matter what we choose ride.
Ride Safe All

damb good idea, Im allways looking through all the stuff I dont care about to find a Harley question

I agree, however, the main problem is that we are a sub-category. We're already categorized, as far as they are concerned, at the moment (under Cars & Transportation). Maybe if enough of us voice an opinion on this matter, it'll be changed. I like the idea. :-)

However, with sub-categories, there does leave human error of posting in an incorrect section.

I have sent my suggestion, via the link you have given.

good idea,,,i think that there are several more catagories that could be better defined also...didn't know about that link,,I gave em my 2 cents worth though about seperating bikes...thx. again..good luck

Yea at least sport bikes and cruisers. I don`t care about sportbikes and I`m sure there are sportbike owners that are not into cruiser bikes.

That's a great suggestion.
I suppose just how detailed is up to the fine folks at Yahoo, but I'd suggest "Road and "Off-Road" catagories at a minimum. If possible 2 or 3 more sub catagories would make it even easier.

Great idea! My proposed categories below:

Harly Davidson
Other pieces of junk that people call bikes
HD Accessories
HD outfits
Over 40 and I still got it because I just bought a new Harly.
Fake Tattoos? Which one is best?
Parades you have rode Harly鈥檚 in.
Extreme riders, over 50 weekly miles required to post.
Helmets!

I think thats a great idea. I'd suggest the subcategories: 1)Manly American Bikes. 2) Cheap Oriental Crap for guys that can't get laid, and 3) German bikes for Uberhomos. I'd think that would capture everything and its pretty right on the money

I just think anything that cannot be driven on the road (pocket rockets, scooters, go carts ect ) should have a section.

I certaily aguree, I don't know why people post scooter stuff in here, it says MOTORCYCLE, I guess it's the closest thing, but I don't know the first thing about making a vespa faster, or a 125cc cruiser.

I think simple curiser, sport, scooter, endo, and offroad categories would be plenty, or even just CC categories, but something should be done

(personally I'm kinda sick of all the high and mighty harley guys, they deffinately need their own category, I think they're all just jealous because they're so much slower)

I'll help out

That is a very good suggestion.

I agree. They should have a category for people who don't know what bike to buy. One for people who don't know how to get a license. One for people who don't know how old they have to be to ride a motorcycle. A category for how to make their little scooters fast. And the list goes on and on. It makes me wonder how these people make it through everday life.

When it comes to motorcycles, it'd probably just be easier to make categories based on penis size. For example, less than 3", 3-5", 5-7", 7-9", and 9+". At least that way I'd know that all of the Harly discussions will be in the same place (less than 3"). And women shouldn't be discussing motorcycles anyway, so obviously they are excluded since they have no penis.

Is there really a problem here? As the saying goes: If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" So is it broken? I don't think so. And if you do categorize it, who decides the categories? The people who looking for an excuse ot to revive the old rice grinder vs Harley tirade? Pleaseeeeee! Don't waste our time! :-|

If the object is share information across the broadest possible audience, then leave it alone. categorizing just divides. It dose not unify. If you just want to camp out with "people that look and think like you", then start your own blog. Yahoo motorcycles should not become a mouth piece for lazy specialized blow-hards that don't want to do the work (any work) themselves.

And lastly - If you really just can NOT leave well enough alone, then make the categories basic and generic: Cruisers, Sport, and Touring.

"If it ain't broke, then don't fix it!" Just leave it alone! :-|

Here's a few good categories;
1. The question that has been asked a thousand times but I won't use the Yahoo question search feature.
2. The "I have the internet and could find the answer myself but I will ask anyway"
And my favorite-
3. The questions that have so many spelling errors and abbreviations that I would rather hit myself in the head with a hammer than read it.

I'm happy with any kind of motorcycle question here. Scooters are fine too. But ATVs and pocket bikes have little in common with motorcycles.

I think it should be catagorized as Posers and Riders

sounds boring! there are plenty of specific sites on the net for every make of bike already.
this is a neutral place where anybody can hang out & its barely big enough to rate a sub category now.
