You're dead right Ash, this place, just like EBR and the BMC before it have died the death, traffic is down to virtually zero......today for example, there wasn't a single post until 6.55 pm

However, unless I have a brain fart at some time in the future, you will never find me on FB......maybe that's my loss ? but I dont really give a shit !!

Pete S. runs The Emporium page on there, it has nothing to do with me but he keeps assuring me that it's a good thing ..... I've yet to see any advantage other than making me and my business open to scruntiny by HMRC, insurance co.s, potential thieves, etc......

Maz, not sure if you are aware, but sure you must be told...every time anyone asks a Buell servicing/maintenance question, they are always directed towards yourself for work, help and advice. You are the sole person recommended for any job.... Seriously!

If you think that's not worth the effort then you are seriously delusional

The paranoia is strong in this one!

If this was 500 years ago you'd argue the world was flat instead of jumping in a boat and taking a look for yourself!

OK, so I hear what you're saying and it's exactly what Pete has told me but I have seen zero rise in business since The Emporium went to FB.
Re. the 'paranoia'......I aint gonna talk about that on an open forum, so Ash YHPM

No dramas chief I'll pick it up in the morrow I need my beauty sleep (lawd knows I do!) , just know you could be hanging out with old pals in a place that feels like this did 10 years ago when it was jumping, instead of being here chasing shadows on yer todd

Think what your business would be like without fb....

I am not saying that fb is the only place to be these days, but for some reason it has become slightly more popular than this forum recently. I like both...

Like I already said Jill......I haven't seen any improvement in my business since Pete put me on FB

......but also, I appreciate that as this place is now dead because of FB, I might have seen a decline were it not for FB

So, let's not derail this thread into a FB thing.....let's get back on topic and discuss who else thinks Erik is a great engineer but a shit businessman.....why did he chase his own dreams of building race bikes (and entered them in WSB before they were ready only to be embarrassed by far better competition) when all he had to do was listen to what his customers wanted ?

I found it strange that they entered WSB, it must have been HERO marketing men. I was also under the impression that R and D for HERO was part of the deal
