Yes, it's pretty dire here isnt it. It is as busy as what everyone wants it to be. What comes first, the or the egg sorta thing.
Facebook? Nah. I 'use' it /look in on a daily basis but it really isnt comparable to the forum format as far as Im concerned. Facebook is just veneer pretty much vaccuous shite if you ask me. OK for some stuff....I have enjoyed keeping tabs on Smileymiley, Ro-Ro, DA, Lozza Jono, Alan and Daveb's travels recently for example but they are all momentary moments posted....here today, gone tomorrow. When tomorrow comes, there's fook all left! The beauty of it is its ease of use and instant access, but its only skin deep.
As for 'forum' interest groups moving to Facebook.....nope, do nothing for me, although it must work for some peeps as evidenced by the very good turnout of the Honda Blackbird page riders, or was it the XX Blackbird Owners group, oh I cant remember, theres that many fekkin different 'pages' Ive given up, at the Ponderosa recently. Very impressive, although just turning up for a wekend on the piss and no several hundred miles bimble doesnt appeal to me in the slightest.
Why is that then? Looking at the Facebook page it might have summink to do with err, socio demographics if thats the right word ? ( I just made that up) . The content there, barring one or two or three contributors , is errr, hardly intellectually stimulating, prolly due to the Blackbird now being so cheap, that any coont can buy one. Using the Forum format is also prolly beyond the capability of the new type of owner, Facebook being just about their fookin 'barrer' prolly
All they really need is for Derek Kelly to join them.
Dont know where its going to end up but I cant see this place or the Dark Side lasting much longer which is a great pity personally, as I have met and made friends with so many people in both places. Have learned so much about the Bird too from both sites.
How ever long it lasts though, I have had a fookin great time.
(I am a snob)

As for 'bird, it has become a forum for some people to antagonise others. Very little activity about bikes or ride outs etc, just one-up-manship. Please, someone tell me to shut the fook up, I sound like I give a shit.
