Title: FB Rides - The Bikes That The Forum Never See - Until Now!!
Post by: Retrodan72 on September 14, 2016, 03:04 PM: Ok, so as a daily visitor to the forum, I've noticed that there seems to be less bikes getting posted up on here, and sadly more to the FB group.

So, in order to address the balance, I've offered myself as a go-between, to those that can't upload pics, or are just too lazy to try and do it.

Hopefully, we'll get a few on board, and show their bikes off, to those forum members that don't do FB, and hopefully try and get some continuity.

Feel free to comment on any of the bikes posted here, and when momentum is gained, I'll link this thread to the FB group regularly.

1st up is a Morales from Chubby, unfortunately, I've no info on year or spec, but I know from picking it up at MK, it's fooking heavy.

Great start to a thread Nick, but again, we'll only see bikes that forum users build. I'm trying to get more bikes off the FB group, and on to the forum, if the owners of said bikes want to join their bikes on here, then even better, if not, then let's just enjoy their bikes. :radbmxsmilie:

Post by: Andyboy77 on September 15, 2016, 12:32 PM: That's an excellent idea Dan! :daumenhoch: I really appreciate your effort. I'm visiting FB very infrequently, as it always felt a bit uncomfortable to find something in particular - especially when it comes to BMX. :radbmxsmilie: feels like home for me.
I never had any issues using photobucket, nor do I think it's complicated. It may take some time to upload pictures via photobucket, but that's fine to me as I'm loving it to spend a good part of my me-time with this hobby anyway. Thererfore I embrace the opportunity to enjoy the "slow pace" a forum has to offer for me. Some may think or feel different about this, but that's maybe just how it is nowadays where everything seems to be rigged up beeing fast and convenient.

Thank's for doing this! I'm confident some FB-users that aren't radsters yet, will find their home here too due to efforts like yours. :daumenhoch:

Post by: dancetothedrummersbeat on September 15, 2016, 01:02 PM: ^ I feel exactly the same Andy. The forum DOES take a bit longer than facebook to learn how to use, but not much, and once you're familiar with it, it gives you access to far more information than facebook can, (especially for reference and tech/resto tips). Ok, so you can't upload photos directly onto RAD. It DOES take a little longer than on facebook, but assuming that tapatalk or photobucket are working ok, it takes about 30 seconds to upload and post a photo on RAD :daumenhoch:
