Although I loathe facebook and its progenitor I do use it albeit under a heavily disguised name as there are several useful groups for things like the SVR250 - which is nearly ready for its MoT!
I too use a similar modus operandi, but without heavy disguise, the panstick does my complection no good!
I don't do "Friends", block lurid "Offers!" and treat the "Message" service in the same way as an email.

Paul Slootweg I’ve been taking part in the rally for many years as well as helping out with meetings of the National Rally committee. So saying the bmf proposed a take over is massively I’ll informed and insulting to those who have put so much into promoting the rally

Stephen - to quote from their own statement: “The BMF offered to run and finance the National Road Rally, and associated Welsh and Scottish events, on the basis that we have sufficient control, to match the responsibility. “ - that final paragraph says quite clearly that they want *control* - how is that not a takeover?
Nothing insulting. Just facts. Like you insisted on.

However, our local Scottish Classic Motorcycle Club does a summer long perambulation throughout Scotland and the Isles, with awards at the end of the season. I just prefer pleasing myself.
Good health to all, Bill
