why fazer owners club unofficial?

[Dead Eye]

I'm unfamiliar with this foc-u salute, what does it involve?

Referenced from the old site;





Makes me chuckle to myself every time :lol

Is that Matty?

Based on the post, I believe so. It was brought up in another thread a few days ago in the 600 forum

It's always been foc-u it should always stay foc-u.    You'll be wanting to call a marathon a snickers next.

Doddsie .. well seeing as how you are asking me ..
 
Main part of my problem is You!  I note (from your profile page) that you actually joined this group and registered that fact on the 13th of December 2012.  Almost FIVE WEEKS ago !! 

Well .. in my book .. it's a bit brown when some new nuptie turns up and starts shouting at guys to LEAVE .. just because they have done nothing more than voice an opinion. I know very well that the FOC-U tally will almost certainly never get voted off .. that don't mean I have to like it!

I recon you'd do well to go back up to line one of my original post on this topic .. quote: ''I quite like this group''. Have a good read, then check out some history .. maybe even look at a few photo's .. and then .. Bugger Off yourself.

Just for your info .. I joined the Fazer Gen1 Clan way back in 2001 (12 years ago) within a few weeks of the FZS 1000 cc bike being launched and me buying one.  Several of the original few guys had active duel membership in here and the Fazer 1000 Owners Club (still on line but quiet because the Gen 1 is no longer made and it never was near to being a 'Social Networking' type group like this one)

I re-registered in here in 2005 .. when I moved to live in Spain and I took the opertunity to change my contact details .. so in any book that gives me 8 years service. 

I'm really sorry Guys ..
It was not my intention to drag this one on .. but I never was one for walking away .. from anyone or anything!

Well that looks too dangerous for me, maybe I'll just glue an old glove to my helmet

That's the weird thing about Snickers, they were called Snickers everywhere else in the world except here. I remember seeing them in Saudi in '86.

However, my wife still calls them Marathons - she's got the old Colonial spirit  :lol

agreed, you just keep doing what yer doing and never mind these n00bs with their desire to have folk disappear whether or not they know and appreciate the years of info, advice and quality input irrespective of the name.

I also feel it right to point that there's no need to apologise.





I mean, Its a bit like my granny apologising for trying to turn over the tv channel with a slipper. bless

[richfzs]

+1 for trev...

[Exupnut]

hello foccers!!!!!


i posted this topic not because i wanted to change the name of the site but possibly the unofficial to another u word. the negative aspect of the word form me is  less inspiring than UNIFIED which i think is worth a vote(site mods take note) we can keep the foc-u which i love and have a u word at the end that makes us more of a group. i have a fazer thou gen1 thats official, i am now a member of a brilliant forum regarding all things Fazerish and thats official too and get to chat and meet some great people with similar interests. i dont mind what the site is called and do respect the members who have been posting for years and their views. peeple r right when they posted keep it as it is and so by changing the last word to unified i think that would keep everyone happy. FAZER OWNERS CLUB UNIFIED waddya think guys and gals.....worth a vote?

[Tiberius Onklevaart]

No

Great post young sir  :thumbup


Its a NO from me, it aint broke so needs no fixing.


Exupnut, I know where you are coming from 

[richfzs]

No.

[DryRob]

Theres so many other options for U words though...
Ultimate?
United?
Unchanged?
Umbrella?
Ubiquitous?
Unrivalled?
Unanimous?

If I'm honest i was under the impression the unofficial meant that the site was subscription free and wouldnt have yamaha sticking their oar in deleting/censoring posts regarding common faults and complaints (like the front sprocket nut for the FZS600). I didnt consider the name too much tho as i was lurking for about a year before i joined so had an idea what was in store.

[Exupnut]

+1


i agree. i like ultimate tho

[Chillum]

I'm not sure I see any point to changing the meaning of the 'U', if the site is successful as-is - what's to gain?

Unofficial is also a bit edgy, a bit woosh, a bit wa-hey. If it was anything else, it might lose the 'cool' factor.








Warning: posts may contain sarcasm..



..and nuts.

edit: Although having thought about it for another 3 seconds, 'Underground' would also be a bit woosh  :evil
