Can't believe some of that shit on FB
Funkyworm:
Got to Be honest I think Facebook has its place.
It's changed loads in the last few years from just personal individuals pages to groups & reference pages .
Yes there's lots of bullshit on there & I can't be arsed with most of the banter. End of the day i just like building bikes, researching a little Bmx history & reminiscing.
But to be fair as a side effect of my hobby I've inadvertently ending up trading in parts here & there (haven't we all as nobody keeps every part that comes on a complete they have bought).
But also through this interest I've done hours of research looking through all of my old magazines scanning images articles adverts etc & searching online for information & photos in an attempt to just basically try to piece together a little history on brands that i liked back in the day & from there I've set up brand pages on Facebook for Rebel & Marlboro plus a group dedicated to the Rickman Brand, all as a point of reference for anyone that's interested & wants to reminisce a little ....
Many of the page visitors come simply sell brand related parts (which is fine) but most have contributed also & maybe don't want to be members of forums or possibly don't even know that Rad exists... Also I've shared many images & info to pages set up by other (Rad) members on Facebook inc Dp TRM & Vincent as they are just exceptionally good (goto reference pages).
To be fair there's not a section on RAD that's dedicated to each specific brand allowing members to add as much info as possible in one place such as brand history catalogues / parts / clothing / etc (apart from the museum) which is just simply builds, so Facebook is perfect for this as to find all of this info on rad you need to really know your way around & that's not for everyone.
Maybe brand sections are something to consider setting up on RAD & maybe traffic will pick up a little ?
