Motorcycle Bloggers International

Behind the scenes in the world of motorcycle blogging lies a vast network of bloggers who talk to each other about important motorcycle issues of the day. We move and shape the bike world in ways mere mortals can only imagine. OK, that's not true, I made it up. But some of us do communicate and one of the great parts of blogging is getting to know dedicated motorcycle people from around the world. Put enough words and ideas out there on the 'net via blogging and you can begin to influence the wider world in small or large ways.

Mike Werner over at Bikes in the Fast Lane decided it would be a good thing if a selection of bloggers, regular riders and enthusiasts from around the globe, got together and bestowed upon assorted bikes, people, and organizations, awards of merit or demerit for their efforts or lack of in the world of motorcycling. With Mike's vision and some general kibitzing by the rest of us, "Motorcycle Bloggers International" was born and with it the annual MBI Star Awards and Fallen Star Awards giving in each case to deserving souls.

I'm pleased to be a part of the happy and often opinionated group as most of the ring leaders are blogs I visit regularly (and you should too). Opinions formed by range of experience, cultural experience and depth of knowlege in differing areas create interesting perspectives on what is and isn't important, worthwhile, or good/evil in the world of motorcycling. Moosh all that knowledge and opinion together in one arena like Motorcycle Bloggers International and you can come up with some interesting and worthwhile conclusions.

And if you disagree with any of the results, write Mike Werner, it was all his idea; I just offered up my usual unrepentant opinion on stuff. If you like the results then you can write me and tell me how brilliant we all are.
