Getting the Most Out of 2wheeltips
By 2WheeltipsIt is important that you let others know something about you. Write something about yourself. Not your life story but something to let others know about your interest in motorcycling.
Enter your location
If you want others to find you, enter your city and state, or your city and/or province or country in your profile. When people do a search for riding buddies, this is how you are found. If you don't enter your location, no one can find you.
Upload some pictures
Motorcyclists love pictures of other bikes and of different places you've been. If you have video, upload those two. You will be surprised at how many responses you'll get from other members.
Confirm your email address
As a new member you'll be asked to confirm your email address. By doing this, you will get notifications whenever someone responds or posts to any of your content or to items your are following. A very easy way to keep track of what is happening on the site.
Join a group
We post all of our videos, blogs and articles in groups. If you are a member of a group and you have confirmed your email address, you will get a message letting you know there is new stuff on the site. Also joining a group is an easy way to meet other riders that share your interests. If you do not see a group you like, you can create one and invite others to join. Groups are very flexible and they have their own forums, blogs, pictures, videos and events. An easy way to organize your motorcycle activities.
Participate
Feel free to ask questions, write articles or make suggestions. We have members from all areas of motorcycling and we are sure you will get the answer you need.
Welcome to the New 2Wheeltips
By 2Wheeltips
We made a ton of new
changes and added lots of new features that will help you improve
your riding skills and connect with local riders. Some of these
are:
Limited
ads
We had limited control over the ads but now we have total control
over what type and where they will go. When ads appear, they will
be very limited and related to motorcycling.
New ways to link up with
members
If you fill out your profile, other riders will be able to find
you based on your common interests. We also have instant
messaging, voice chat and video chat built into the site. You can
see who is online and instantly communicate with them. If you
don't want to be bothered, you can make your profile private and
only your friends can contact you. There are many other ways to
reach out to new members and we will cover them in upcoming blog
posts.
True High Definition
Video
Have you played our new videos yet? All of our videos are now in
16.9 aspect ratio and in high definition, a very big improvement
over the prior version of the site. You can also link in videos
from any site including YouTube, Veoh and Vimeo. If you have your
own videos, you can upload them as well.
Groups and Events
Now you can create your own groups and have events within groups.
This is perfect for communicating with friends and getting
together for rides. Groups can even have their own forums, videos
and photo albums.
Photo Albums
Photo Albums are now supported. You can have albums within groups
and events, a nice way to share your riding
pictures.
Over the next few days and weeks, we will update this blog to help you learn to navigate all the nice new features on the site.
