HawgNews.com - An Online Exhaust System For Bikers Site to build the largest database of reader-submitted reviews on Harley-Davidson motorcycles, choppers, parts and accessories. Cranberry Township, PA (PRWEB) April 15, 2005 -- What if you could find out about which Harley-Davidson accessory will turn out to be a waste of your money... before you spent your hard-earned dough? What if you could have someone test-drive a pair of motorcycle riding boots that will turn out to be uncomfortable at times... so that you won't suffer from blisters on your ankles? HawgNews.com is now online, and its goal is to decrease buyer's remorse within the biker and chopper communities. Harley-Davidson aficionados and riders considering the purchase of motorcycle accessories and components need not wait for local biker nights or rallies to seek performance review from other riders.
Sure, you can just pick up the last issue of your favorite motorcycle magazine if you are looking for information on a newly-released component, model or accessory - but where do you go when looking for an opinion about a 1992 Sportster? Launched four weeks ago, HawgNews.com makes it possible for bikers across America to submit their candid reviews about motorcycle equipment - be it new or previously owned - and thus express their satisfaction (or lack there of) with models built by several manufacturers. Filled with reader-submitted assessments, the site aims to build the most comprehensive database of reviews on Harley-Davidson and custom motorcycles, parts and accessories.
Each critique includes the writer's rants and raves on an item's overall quality. So far, the evaluations cover a wide range of products; from riding boots to motorcycle exhaust systems. HawgNews.com is the latest addition to the Gear Review Network - a group of sites that seeks to educate potential buyers in a variety of industries through information posted by consumers who have already purchased a model.
Chris Bereznay, President of the Gear Review Network, came up with the idea for HawgNews.com while realizing that there was a shortage of bike-related sites with reviews posted by other fellow riders, and not by a magazine's editor: "The truth is that many magazines may not want to dedicate their resources to write about a 1992 Sportster or a pair of riding boots. It was challenging to find a place where I could find a large variety of reviews written by your 'average Joe', covering anything from the latest exhaust system models, all the way to older Harley-Davidson bikes that can now only be found in the 'previously-used' market, with details on how the item performs under everyday conditions. I love bikes myself and, since I have access to the technology, HawgNews.com came to be."
Other interesting articles are also part of the content of the site, such as stories on the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, tips on getting a loan for your next motorcycle purchase, news on the upcoming Myrtle Beach Bike Week 2005, etc. The sites Biker Discussion" forum lets bikers interact about a variety of topics, including questions and answers on how to shop for your first bike and information on upgrading or customizing your ride.
As a "kick-off" to celebrate its launch, HawgNews.com is offering a "giveaway" contest that is running until May 31st, 2005. Readers who submit a review of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, part or accessory will be entered to win a $200 shopping spree at J&P Cycles.
