A while back we launched a discussion forum at BikeAdvice.org. This forum is where the BikeAdvice fraternity hangs out. Major features include the ability to ask Bike buying advice and Technical advice regarding bikes. Our authors are constantly lookout for new questions and help the members with answers and guidance.

BikeAdvice Forum has crossed the 1000 members mark. The forum was launched on the first week of September 2011 and as of now it is hardly 3 months old. The response so far has been amazing and has exceeded our expectations. I personally thank all my authors and moderators for making BikeAdvice forum a better place. It would not have been the same without you! Thank you!

Those who have not won this contest – please do not be disappointed. You are eligible to post an updated review of your bike in our next contest which will be conducted in a few weeks.

How the Winners were Chosen

If you are wondering how we chose the winners – we filtered the top 10 reviews from around 30 reviews on the basis of article quality and reader’s response. These 10 reviews were reviewed by the authors individually without consulting me.

Then these results were matched with the poll we conducted. Surprisingly the results matched with the poll results – except for slight changes in the positions. We took our users as the best judge and declared prizes according to the polls. The poll was conducted only for a short duration so that the chances of duplicate votes are reduced. If you need to know anything else, you can contact us at our email ID.

I hope everyone has enjoyed participating in this contest. Thanks for your contribution.

Regards,
Deepak Raj

Original Source: Ownership Review Contest No.10 – Win a Helmet, a Jacket and a pair of Gloves! from BikeAdvice.in

It has been quite some time since we conducted a ownership review contest. This contest is going to be bigger and better than ever. Because instead of giving away the usual toy bikes as prizes, we are giving away real biking stuff of total value Rs.10,230!

• Write a review of the bike you own in at least 500 words. Maximum is 4000 words.
• Include photos wherever possible. Minimum of 3 photos is compulsory. A photo of you adds a lot of credibility and trust to the review.

What to Include in the Review – A Guide

• Inspiration: Talk about how you decided to buy the bike and what inspired to choose the model you have chosen.
• Regrets: After a few weeks of using it, every biker can find fault with his bike. Just like humans, no bike is 100% perfect. Talk about that.
• Previous Bikes: If you have owned other bikes in the past, talk about it and compare it with your new buy.
• Details: Talk about the price, mileage, handling and other details unique to your bike. General details which are available in the official website like specifications of the bike can be left out.
• Tours: Have you taken your bike for long rides? Talk about the experience of the same.
• A review with a lot of beautiful photos is always appreciated.

The above points are just a guide and you can write your review in your own unique way – which is most appreciated at BikeAdvice.

Prize Details

You can find more details about the prizes in the following links. You can get the color and variant of your choice as long as it is in the same price range.

• Helmet
• Jacket
• Gloves

P.S. If you have participated in a BikeAdvice ownership review contest before, you can participate again as long as you review a new bike. If you want to post the review of the same bike, make it more elaborate and cover the points which you didn’t before.
