Facebook or any of it's other names have taken over many forums.
It is an easy to use interface for any smartphone and yes there are some who don't enjoy the use of it but the many usually do.
I know that I am a member of two FB groups one Ducati based and one Adv based and they work well.
As to organizing rides well yes as people now know my Monster is in the hands of a new owner but a couple of years before that I lost the want to ride on the tar only. My riding habits changed but that shouldn't have stopped anyone else from continuing the excellent community we have.
As said by Betty and Two dogs some rides have been posted but for the most part many seem to have fallen off into their own smaller friendship groups and rides don't get posted as often.
After Goldie and Mmick I kind of became the next most active member and things rolled on for a few years but just because I might not own a Monster or a Ducati at the moment that doesn't mean any of the rest of you can continue the community rolling along.
True with the shananigans of Mr Plod up the Old Road booking 4 riders at once and the targeting of bike riders in that area for sometime after that there was some shine taken off riding. But I have to say there are more roads than just OPC as we all well know.
So if the FB page can feed to here and the vice versa then it's a win for all. Just as long as the FB page doesn't replace here.
Come to think of it isn't there an FB page started by Betty and Jukie that is an Ozmonsters Group?
To finish off my afternoon of philosophy, I officially pass the chief instigator of shananigans to whoever wishes to carry on with it.
Our last little run just this past week to PI for WSBK.
2500 klms about 30-40% dirt.
Cheers
