Ixion - UK Motorcycling Mailing List

Ixion is a mailing list for those interested in motorcycling in the United Kingdom. It has been likened to "a group of bikers chatting down the pub".

Ixion was originally set up by Dave Edmondson in July 1990 at Queen Mary and Westfield College in East London. Malcolm Jackson at University of Nottingham took over the running in June 1993, until January 2002 when Ixion went to live on a server owned by ixies. Originally called Ogri, the name was changed to Ixion in May 1996.
