WELCOME TO THE EVENT PAGE ... LIFE IS AN EVENT, GO THERE, BE ON TIME, and TAKE PART ... and take a photo!!
The photo above is what I had for supper on April 9th ...
So what is a plate of food doing on the Event Page of a motorcycle club's national/international website?
Read on, GrassHopper, read on...
Well, it's a personal protest, of sorts ... so here's the deal.
I am growing weary. (grin - I know, I'm whining here, BUT with a purpose...) Week after Week, I update this site, it takes me several hours, usually two to four per update. Sometimes we have one email, sometimes we have one photo, and many times, it's ... crickets! Zip! Nothing - Quiet. What is this? Facebook? I quit Facebook after two years because most don't say a peep or even hit a "like" ... Z-z-z-z-z
And don't get me wrong here, 'cause we DO have a handful of FSSNOC WEBSITE FAITHFUL ... those few members, over the years, have continued to share their thumper-related moments with us every month or so ... and I am SO GRATEFUL for those members and they know who they are, and we all know them by their first name and FSSNOC member # - State ... and their great stories! Thank You All!!!
Back to my diatribe ... So, when I tune-in to update the site and find an empty hamper, I just shake my head and go for it, I slide back on the seat, stand slightly on the pegs, lift that front wheel, affix my eyes on the other end, and open the throttle, I just go for it! ...
"Oh, well..." and then I , like right now, get rockin' and rollin' to give our club site some moto-content for yet another weekly update.
That content, it's my content, it's not fiction, it's fact, but it is always and only from my world ... photos, rides, bikes, happenings, people, and places ... and, in today's case above, some long-deceased FOOD!
And, again, don't get me wrong here, I am very happy to share this stuff with the FSSNOC audience, I love to do that, of course ... BUT ... it'd be NICE if more MEMBERS would lend an occasional hand, huh?
It would be a really NICE treat to see not just one, or two emails per week, but several, and from a variety of members on a variety of thumper-related subjects, and some with a photo attached ... does that make sense to anyone?
Surely, club members are doing thumper-related things ... like going to bike shows, motorcycle races, visiting local motorcycle dealers, trail rides, going to auctions, sharing a cup of coffee with other riders, riding on road trips - near and far, sneaking away from the house to go to swap-meets, spending hours in backyard sheds on favorite thumper-projects, and/or beating around on the backroads of America on our own current version of a BackRoad Banger? Does any of that sound familiar?
And by-the-way, while I am lamenting, we would enjoy a bit of help with TN content as well ... and here is a bit of a sneak pre-view, I spill the beans about my own BackRoad Banger in the upcoming issue TN#159, coming to mailboxes located at the end of member driveways in the near future ... and if you aren't a member, join or rejoin?
It's never been easier to share a riding experience or any kind of a moto-experience with a supporting photo and a few moto-words. Even a Thumper-rider can do it, right? And all submitted content is subject to being edited, or used, or not used, as you may have already
assumed.
As for photos? My cellphone takes better photos now than any camera I've owned in the past. When I go for a ride or attend a Moto-Event, I remind myself to get one photo, just one. When I see something of interest during a ride, I make it a point to pull over to an area where I feel it is safe to be stopped. My phone? Where is it? (joke - but it does happen daily! You?) I dig it out. I focus and touch the button, it's that easy. Back in the tankbag or my pocket it goes...
Oh yeah, the last step ... I add a few words of comment to it and I email that photo to:
[email protected]
