[Fot] FOT on FACEBOOK ???

[Terry Stetler]

What is this "facebook" of which you speak?

To put a not too fine point on this, I will refer to the old motto of
Brooklands...

"The right crowd and no crowding".

But then, I'm an old fashioned kind of guy.

  I yearn for the days when the FOT flew so far under the radar that the
  people who found out about us actually fit the criteria to belong. The
  FOT has morphed into something far from it's roots. That's what happens
  when there are no rules.

  Do I like it? No.

  Do I miss what we once had, a forum where real Triumph racers really
  discussed issues pertinent to the sport? Sure I do. I know I am not
  alone here, every race I attend this subject comes up in conversation.

  Is a public FB presence going to move the trend in a direction back
  towards our roots? Obviously not.

  Is a public FB presence going to move the trend in a direction the
  majority of current FOT want? I can't say. I don't know who the current
  FOT are.

  I just hope the newbies in the sport are getting the support I got when
  I was starting out. The relationships I have made here over the years
  have made a huge difference to my racing success. I just don't see that
  level of support these days. Hopefully the support is happening offline.
  The resources we have available here are vast, and from what I have read
  over the past couple years, virtually untapped.

  What does 'going public' on FB do to us, say, as to going 'private'?
