kmj Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Thanks for your reply. I certainly don't underestimate the amount of time you spend on this forum or on MyFC matters - it is plain for everyone to see. The crucial date to discover how well (or not) this experiment in Club ownership has worked will be the first renewal date. Sure, some have signed up for a second season already, but they are a fraction of the entire membership. Hopefully the FA Trophy win will encourage more to re-join than has been predicted. However, I do not underestimate that by that date a fair number will be moving on to the next big thing to capture their short attention spans.

Darter Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 kmj, you are right about the renewals worry. My guess is this. Those who joined after November will be more likely to stay. They knew which club and many joined because they already had an affiliation. Those who joined before then are the ones who may go. We'll know in February, I guess.

kmj Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I think that this prediction is (possibly) spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmj Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 The success of the Harley Davidson "brand" has often puzzled me. Possibly American hype? Style over substance? John, you might be able to confirm this, but wasn't it the case that in the film Easy Rider that the "good" guys rode Triumph motorcycles, while the "bad" guys rode the Harleys which were slower and heavier machines? If I recall this correctly, how did the company turn around this image to the public at large? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmj Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Thanks for the link. I have read it quickly but cannot see any mention of the film. It did remind me of another film though - Electra Glyde in Blue. It is true that the US market was able to largely withstand the Japanese imports while the UK market could not. It comes down to the personal preference of bikers. Some will always support a particular make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
