I don't know if this one is "official", but it's another Fazer Owners Club.

(But their name doesn't spell Foc-U

)

if yamaha isnt in the title of the site then i wouldnt have thought it would be a problem. fazer owners club sounds much better.

But then we couldn't say foc-u...

Originally I think yammie objected to the forum which was using the tuning fork logo so foc-u was born!

Sorry, it was Foc U by Cielo Green, the original version, not the made for public consumption one

Interesting Topic .. I quite like this group .. it's one of the best.
But if I had a choice or a chance to make it even better .. I'd drop the 'U' and just have Fazer Owners Club.

I'm far from being a prude .. former Royal Navy, former long haul Trucker, Brummy, etc .. I can and do 'F & Blind' as good as the next guy .. maybe better than most in fact. But I can't see why we have to lower the tone of our wonderful 'sport and hobby' $:\$ .

Personally I've never had anything on any bike of mine (more than 50) that sends out a bad signal .. things like
sculls and spikes or rude stickers, etc .. things that read 'death' or disrespect to a lot of folks.

If we had a vote .. I'd be for dropping that very offensive 'U' .. anyone else feel the same and willing to say so?

yes we should drop that offensive 'U' for 'Unofficial',

perhaps it could be replaced with 'On For Fun'? or 'Edited Daily' how about 'User Priority'?

any other suggestions?

I fear change

The unofficial may be required from a legal standpoint. I don't think its a huge issue and most seem to take FOC-U in the light hearted manner that it is offered...

Doddsie · « **Reply #19 on:** 17 January 2013, 08:38:32 pm »

`The very offensive U`???? Surely if anything is offensive its the `FOC`? I think most people see it for the light hearted play on words that it is. It stand for Fazer Owners Club Unofficial......Any thing else you read into it is purely down to your own way of thinking!!!

D4Delta · « **Reply #20 on:** 17 January 2013, 10:37:49 pm »

Totally agree. Drop the "U". Detracts from an otherwise good club.

Grahamm · « **Reply #21 on:** 17 January 2013, 10:43:51 pm »

We could have Fazer Owners Club - Mostly England...

Doddsie · « **Reply #22 on:** 17 January 2013, 11:02:31 pm »

Why does it detract?? Its just a bit of fun, lighten up FFS. Its only the name of a forum on the internet,Im sure the name doesnt affect your way of life one little bit!
