Clarissa, most of them photos just show a hot girl, or nobody at all (like the spokes one). Doesn't really give us anything to work with or help advertise what's on offer here. The "Plan your weekend" is nice, but you can't see what the last word is and there's nowhere on the photo that I can put any information - the subject in the photo basically takes up all the space. Kwak, a group photo would be great. Please find one. I'll remove the word "Free". Geoff, according to my quick check of the database there are 80 registered events for June. That's near enough to 100 for me. Thanks for all your feedback

Matt what about the group photo you've already got on the top of the page? Couldn't you get someone to photoshop/muck about with it and make the background black etc?

Again it goes to getting everyones permission thats in the photo ... for an editorial on the site its published on the use of it is fine as we all knew at the time it would be posted on the site ... however to use it in an advert would require permission from everyone in the pic & we have not seen some of them in a while

Its not a professional photo first of all, so it doesnt look good when printed full-page. It's also horizontal, need a vertical photo. Imaging if I tried using it, it woudl just cover a small bar accross the bottom leaving 3/4 of a page left to fill.

It's too late now to make our own, we've got the weekend to finalise this so I need to use a stock photo from the net. I'd be happier advertising the social aspect, but can't find any good group photos (professional ones), only couples and stuff. The picture with the couple & dog is nice, it doesn't look too much like dating just a couple out on their bike (with the dog somehow). The wording also doesn't stress dating either.

Well maybe next time :) I'm sure i could get him to meet up with a group of us on a ride out as long as everyone was okay with their pictures being used for the site we could get some good group shots :) for later use.

and i have seen little carry things that attach to bikes for dogs lol although the largest animal ive ever taken on a bike was the pet rat he used to love it lol

lol wasn't there a kids programme called Biker Mouse? :-) the fotos would be great. We get lots of photos taken at events but they're often fuzzy, bad weather, etc. Or are just random fotos of people doing things, drinking etc.... rather than a planned "modelling" photo.

Matt, If you want to stress it is UK only then you can have "The UK's Online Motorcycle Community" under your header. Make it stand out more and stress it is the best. Maybe change it a little. You could say: Over 40,000 UK only members. Friendly and fun social website made for bikers. Full monthly events listings. Racing, Rallies and Rides Out. Plus news, forums, advice, chat, personals and more.
