I've been in rome for new year & am still here but on my return to the uk I'll set a Facebook page up & see where it goes.... I've also popped a post up on the Korean GTR Facebook page & it's been received very well by riders in the uk. 

I think people are a little sensitive about this forum.

I didn't ask any questions like how could it improve or why replace it....

I haven't critisiced the forum I've just suggested a Facebook page... Because it's easier to use.. fact!

The FB group could be a closed group so you would have to apply to join, then you don't get any wollies on their posting spam etc.

Photographes can be uploaded in seconds, I.e you snap a shot & hit load & bam it's on the site.
You get updates directly to your smart phone, I.e. I'm out on the bike in the midlands & you can pop a post up saying I'm in Nuneaton anyone fancy going for a spin & bam you get that on your smart phone... I'm all about riding & not sitting in tapping away on my PC....

I think from the comments that the people who ARE critisicing Facebook probably never use it so don't understand it.... But please don't get me wrong I'm not here to support Facebook at all, I couldn't give a monkeys about it, I'm just suggesting that twenty times a year without any organisation riders of the mighty GTR could meet up & bimble around together, like minded folk & all that.

With regard to Korea & the google translate, I think Wolfe your missing my point..... I couldn't care less what they are doing but sometimes wish I lived there because they clearly have a buzzing GTR community over there with bi-weekly meets & guys riding together.... Lots of photographs so it shows people what they are missing.... It then makes people want to go on the next meet..... And numbers increase.

I think if people joined a uk GTR group & used it to communicate about ride ours etc, it would be very engaging & useful.

Another point with forums, how many people actually engage with it? In my exspereance most just read & sit back whilst a small minority group are very engaged & write away every day..... Have a flick through the posts on here & I think I would have made my point..... Facebook is easy peasy you can engage by just liking a pic or a post.... I like it because it's easy.

Remember I'm all about the riding & not this tip tapping writing on my PC......

It was a lovely morning in South Wales.... I left the GTR in the garage but went out on my Harley Bobber to say "Hi" to my folks & join them for breakfast..... Loved it.... Only half an hour each way but still loved it.

I'm aware there is a Facebook page for GTR owners but it's managed or it's administrator is Korian, based in Koria & most of its subjects & topics are Korean!

I'm not interested in Korea..... Are you?

Does anyone else want a Uk GTR Facebook page?

Do you guys like Facebook?

Would you use it?

Would you like to see photographs of ride outs etc..... Because Facebook is so easy to use as opposed to this forum....

Do you want more ride outs locally?

Should we start one up?

Wey hey.... "Thanks" Guys for a very warm welcome. 

Oi Oi Everyone...

Eventually decided to replace my sports bike with a tourer & after considering what's available on the market I've chosen the Kawasaki GTR, it's seems like good value for money & also quite sporty, I'm looking forward to getting out on it & getting some miles under my belt.

I'm based in Cardiff & if there are any local lads who want to meet up for a spin just get in touch & when I say local I mean within 50 or so miles, I like riding & will gladly do 200/300 miles on a nice day so am up for most things... Happily meet on the beacons, Chepstow, Bristol etc to for a blast & chew the fat.

I'm looking forward to a good summer of riding my new bike that I'm collecting on the 1st March.
