Well, then I'm kind of wondering why the site is called Biker Match instead of Biker Social or similar.  And why the Home page has the following:

1 Create a profile
Be seen by great potential new friends with your own FREE profile!
2 Search for people
Use the FREE search tools to see photos of people near you!
3 Connect!
Then simply contact people you find for fun or romance!
Romance suggests, er, dating to most folk.
                                                                                                                                                                             

At least one of those other sites mentioned is advertised for bikers but when you sign up you just get stuck on the books of a regular dating site called Urban Social. 
                                                                                                                                                                             

Notice it says FUN or romance,a lot of folk just want to meet someone for company on runs etc,romance may come later. I like the site the way it is and have met some great people in the past few weeks.                                                                                                                                                                             

I'm a convert.                                                                                                                                                                              

A lot of other stes are a con, they blanket advertise on different things, dating, friendship etc biking ans some dodgy subjects then link all the profiles. It legal apparently as it says in the small print.... Better here girl.........was gonna say normal....er no...was gonna say safe.....er no........but then it came to me.....just a damn good decent bunch who are always their each other. You'll find you put on your going away somewhere soon invites for coffee, place to stay or dry out if you get stuck.....

The closest camaraderie I have seen since I was in the forces....better cause these lot won't drink your beer without asking first ha ha

Why isn't it 'fun AND romance' anyhow? 

Can you not have both? 
                                                                                                                                                                             

As per usual with you lot - this thread has made me ponder, frown and laugh out loud.

It is the perfect example of the mixed bunch we have here and exactly why I like being a member.

I have made friends here and found a great fella - simple as that ... aren't I the lucky one? And he's another one who looks different in almost every photo. Oh heck! Perhaps I'm two-timing by accident!

Sandi - well done for opening a great debate. (whether you meant to or not) Love it!                                                                                                                                                                             

I have no idea Viking lol

Well done to you Riggy                                                                                                                                                                              

Strangely sane: Of course you can have both.( Be entertaining when Ms Fun meets Ms Romance on a pilly ride!)
                                                                                                                                                                             

Best testimony I've ever seen...

"The closest camaraderie I have seen since I was in the forces"

Thanks!!!                                                                                                                                                                              

  LOL Riggy, nope, I hadn't intended on it being a debate, but at least I didn't start a riot                                                                                                                                                                              

I just wear my hat all the time that way folk spot me irrelevant of what the rest of me looks like lol                                                                                                                                                                              

With BJ on your hat, most men won't care what you look like                                                                                                                                                                             

  Distinctive headgear is always helpful   When you remember to take it with you   Fortunately, with my unmistakable "fizzog"   Most folk recognize me with or without                                                                                                                                                                              

VT i never thought of that BONUS lol                                                                                                                                                                             

Sandi, you better not start any riots. Who would maintain the calendar if we had to ban you!
