VolusiaRiders.Com (VR)
A Suzuki VL800 Volusia and Boulevard C50 Owners Community

Why we are here:

To provide a friendly environment to discuss motorcycle riding, repairing, modifying, customizing, tips & tricks, advice on motorcycle issues, trade stories from the road and meet with fellow motorcycle enthusiasts. VR does not restrict membership on sex, race, or location. We are bound together by our common love of motorcycles. Though this site was created and is aimed at the Suzuki VL800 series “Volusia” and Boulevard C50 motorcycles, it is open to anyone interested in motorcycling.

2. Daily Laugh – optional adult humor related messages
3. Off Topic – Optional general area for non-motorcycle discussions
4. Playground – optional Adult Only section! - Almost no holds barred discussion, if you can’t take the heat don’t go there. This forum must still abide by the Image Links rules. This forum is NOT work friendly and is NOT for children.

Image Links:
1) - Images that do not contain nudity can be shown inline using the IMG tags. I would appreciate it if images were no bigger than 800 pixels wide.
2) - Images that do contain nudity (images with genitalia or a woman's nipples visible) must be in link form only, and include a warning that they are not safe for work - NSFW

a) 7 day suspension of posting privileges
b) 30 day suspension of posting privileges
c) Loss of account & banned from the site
2) - Suspensions may occur without a prior warning if the staff believes the action is merited.
3) - Posting privileges may be suspended or terminated if the staff feels that a member's online demeanor is sufficiently disruptive or detracts from civility on the board.
4) - A member who has been banned may apply for reinstatement after one year's time. Reinstatement is not guaranteed. If reinstated there will be a zero tolerance policy in place for disruptive behavior.
5) - ALL complaints regarding the administration and moderation of Volusia Riders MUST be communicated to the site owner, an administrator or moderator via Private Message or e-mail so as to discourage discord on the board. There will be zero tolerance on this and any and all publicly posted complaints will be removed from VR and only addressed if submitted via PM or email.

These are meant as general site rules. The sheer volume and variety of posts on VR makes it almost impossible to provide written rules that cover every specific situation which may arise. While the administrators and moderators of this forum cannot review every message, they will attempt to remove or edit any generally objectionable material as quickly as possible.

Members should not post abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful or threatening messages or any material that may violate any state or federal laws. Doing so can lead to disciplinary action up to and including you being immediately and permanently banned from the site. All posts made to VR forums express the views and opinions of the authors, and the site staff and ownership shall not be held liable for the content.

The owner, administrators, webmaster and moderators of VolusiaRiders.com reserve the right to remove, edit, move or close any post or topic and deny posting privileges to any member at any time should they deem it to be in the best interest of the board. Their decisions will be reviewed, and additional or different actions may be taken per consensus by the site staff.

Thank you for your compliance and we hope you enjoy the site!
