I wish I would have seen this earlier instead of taking care of it at 2am. It would have given me a chance to ask the question that the title of my blog is asking instead of me now, obviously blogging about it. Don't get me wrong, I literally understand what tentative comments are; I just don't know exactly what I'm supposed to be commenting about the website. It says we're supposed to say why we chose this particular website but I honestly don't know why other than the fact that after a quick skim of the homepage the website is motorcycle related and I happen to know quite a bit about motorcycles.
This website seems very basic but possibly full of really helpful information to new and inexperienced riders. Just from the picture of the motorcycle they use and the fact that they have an MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) locator on the right hand side of the page tells me that this is not a website that would be frequented by riders that have any kind of track background, anywhere from track days to amateur racing events. Even the aggressive and talented canyon carver would possibly be beyond the knowledge that they probably are displaying and utilizing on this website. There’s a lot of statistics that I can see without really reading into any of it so it is probably meant to inform someone with text via a knowledge database than teach them any real techniques that a new or inexperienced rider could visually grasp and understand and actually apply to their riding.
On the left hand side of the page there a link for suggested gear to wear, riding skills and techniques, safety studies, and a resources and links section as well. I could definitely be proven wrong about there not being any visually learned and applicable riding techniques from this site, but I really doubt it based upon the extremely simple design of the website. The color combination used is awful, it completely reminds of an orange hazard road sign, which is actually probably the intent behind the color scheme sadly. You would figure if they’re designing a website towards new and inexperienced riders, they would try to make a website that was eye catching and that would keep their attention so they actually took in all the information that was being made available from the website.
