[Fot] FOT on FACEBOOK ???

[Geoff Byrne]

It would be great if all non Triumph racing stuff could be filtered out so 
our emails dont get bombed
This is a great forum which streeches world wide and keeps true FOTs 
informed about what happening
it put me in contact with fellow racers in USA who otherwise I would have 
known nothing about
