HondaTwins seems like a waste of space these days or is it just me?

We are finding folk ask questions on FB which get answered much the same as a forum but once the thread is a few days old it almost disappears, unlike a forum that can be searched back. I too was very anti FB but had to join as I was missing out on events mates were going to organised on FB.

I didn't know there was a CB72/77 FB page Ash, is it closed or can I join?

Yes pretty sure you can join but if not I can recommend  you. I still have your crankcase cover in the boot of my car BTW If you  send  me your address I will post it off to you.

Thanks Ash, I've been through the mill lately so forgot about it, the light at the end is getting brighter though.

I'll PM you.

I’ve been following Hondatwins for a couple of years now; and you’re right the content has decreased; but what exactly has decreased? There are newbies posting asking for help with their bikes; and some are asking obvious questions, to which the answer has been given loads of times, and can be found with a little searching.
Most of them are new members with little or no experience of the bikes they just bought.
When we started out did we know the answers to all the questions? If you did you don’t need this site, or HT.
I have noticed questions being asked that are easy to answer and most stay silent. The ones who do respond are usually the high scoring members; some have 20 K + responses and are regarded quite rightly as Guru’s.
It’s a phase; and as the membership gain knowledge we can all benefit. I was a newbie once, so were you! Give them space light; and some of them will blossom into useful members of our site!

I suppose I get what you are saying Gixxer but there has to be a balance ...you help out newbies and encourage them but at the same time you expect some kind of response to more 'in depth'  questions. Also, I scanned loads of Honda manuals that they have been crying out for on there, which other members must have copies of but it's too much effort for them to scan but , again, very little feedback after I posted them on there. I bet if I asked my questions on the relevant FB Groups I would get lots of responses. However, as somebody quite rightly stated on here,  the replies on FB just get lost, which is a real shame. For example someone on FB posted about  the early hydraulic cam chain tensioner fitted to the CB250K0, in response to a question I asked. He went into some depth about the  fixes that Honda UK did when owners experienced problems with them. Sadly I forgot to copy the text from that post and I can't find it now.

Tomb:
And there is the problem with FB groups - searching for info is never the same as a forum.

Gixxer, you say

I'm not an expert at FB-ing, what method do you use to find old posts? As Ash says, even when I know there is a post with answers I need only a few weeks old I can never find it again to re-read.
