Hi,

There are a few face-book pages devoted to the CB72/77 bikes. I seldom see interesting information over there, just one-liners and sometimes a few pictures. And of course a lot of questions like wanted parts or complete bikes, preferably for free......

Most threads of these bikes on face-book are as on the surface as face-book is.

In general in this age of easy excess on free information, and not only on face-book, people don't take the time to even define a correct and well formulated question, to lazy to type a decent sentence on their smart phone. And of course they expect a simple answer to their question, just one or two sentences, preferably within minutes.

No, I think face-book is an impoverishment instead of an enrichment. It's called face-book, being just a small surface part of the human body, no brains included,

It's OK for sharing pictures with your friends from overseas. Not much use for anything else. It's really just a vehicle for selling advertising. Getting more like (commercial) TV every day...

Hi Graham,

You're right, but questions are asked on facebook, and people expecting answers, just as short as the questions. If it's just a channel to show-off your stuff, that's ok with me, not for nothing it's called facebook,

It all depends what you expect from facebook, not saying that I'm a fan or not.
