I am the sole remaining non-user of Twitter, apparently. Never tried it,
don't plan to do so.

Same here. Don't use facebook either. never have. That's all girly stuff
if you ask me.

I used to feel the same way but have recently found Facebook to be a
useful tool for keeping in touch with friends and family.


Exactly... We have also done a lot of good for down riders, a hurricane
victim, and the family of 5 who lost their dad young to a heart
attack... Not to mention, we always know where everyone is racing, and
where the best events are.. Personally I have used FB almost exclusively
for "spamming" for our sponsors to the point where almost all of Jessis
equipment an fuel is sponsored for us... We pay for travel, food, and
camping... everybody in the industry knows us, Jess has fans from coast
to coast and places to ride all over the country.... because of fb.
Another great aspect is the commerce we all do. We get the word out, at
the same time we are probably connected by one person or less to
everyone we buy or sell gear from and to...That alone is great because
our community is particularly vunerable to Craigs List robberies and
ripoffs because our bikes (off road) are the favorite target of the
stunt rider type gangs that attacked that family in NY the other day....
