    For FaceBook users - here's a group to join

    There is a closed Group on FB called "Kustom GoldWing F6B Fans and Riders."
    It is run by Jay Ford whose red Medusa F6B was on the cover of Wing World recently.

    I posted info about the Rally there and it was well received.
    Looks like many of their members (~1100) are going to be hopefully joining our forum.
    Some of our members here are in there as well.

    If you want to see some amazing paint schemes and some tricked out stereo systems, as well as the "big front tire" thing, give them a look see.
    This forum doesn't really do the "custom" paint like they do there so I'm providing an information opportunity for those who want to explore.

    Cheers,
    Steve

    Thanks for the heads-up at the rally, Steve. I joined when I was there and approved on my way back to Texas. Lot of cool stuff there and seems like a lot of activity.

    Joined and accepted while still at the Rally. Saw Teach on it, sent friend request and got a Facebook friend out of her.

    Not only would I rather poke my eyes out with a sharp stick than be on Facebook, it could dimish all the hard work that our admin puts into this site. That's just me, obviously there are millions of others that will disagree.

    Count me as the first of those millions.

    Won't counter anything, has already expanded this site's membership.

    FB membership aside - you raise a valid concern, and I weighed all the pros & cons as well.
    They do things we don't do, and we do things they don't do.
    It's more complementary than adversarial.

    As Jimmy noted, we had over 20 joins yesterday from this cross pollination.
    Please welcome them as they post.

    Cheers,
    Steve

    I'm a member of both, I tend to go the facebook page much more often because its much more convenient and more about bikes and customizing and not much politics at all. Everyone is very friendly and I have gained some friends because of it. And of course I get to mess with my favorite NE GA mountain girl all the time! lol

    Of course.

    I don't doubt there will be more registered members here as a result, but registrations don't necessarily translate into participation. It remains to be seen on which side the pendulum stops.

    But hey, let's move on, my eyes hurt...
