BodesApp

BodesApp is the private and exclusive network of motorcycle brothers. It is a closed space: access is by invitation only and requires approval by an administrator. Creating an account does not grant access — your entry must be approved. Everything that happens inside the app stays within the brotherhood. What you will find in BodesApp: • HOME — the community's featured partners and the next meetup. • FEED — posts, photos and news from all approved members. • AGENDA AND EVENTS — upcoming meetups, with a photo wall for each event. You can also suggest an event. • BUSINESS — classifieds between members (motorcycles, parts, accessories and gear), with categories, keyword search, price filter and direct contact. The app does not sell or broker: deals are made directly between members. • PARTNERS — a showcase of authorized partners, with an Official badge for the brotherhood's partners. • PROFILE — your identity, your group and your motorcycles. • INVITE — invite a friend with your invite link. Entry still depends on an administrator's approval. Safety: report inappropriate content, block users and delete your account at any time in Profile. A closed community: respect and brotherhood on the road. BodesApp is operated by SCHIFTR LLC
