Hitchcocks Forum

It's a bit of an advert if you like, but we have a gentleman's ( and ladies) group on facebook.

We have competitions, do advice to owners, help each other out, have ride out announcements... All the stuff that people in the UK and Eire would love.


We are selective in that you need to have a Royal Enfield, regardless of age and live in the UK or Eire. If you think we may be for you, then please come along and see what we do.



Royal Enfield GB

Well I've tried to join (twice) but the group administrators never replied to authorise membership.

I've obviously been given the Black Spot

Drop the selective.There are many people interested in Royal Enfield's including the elderly and disabled who may have been ex Enfield owners.I am proud to say I had this changed for this very reason to an"allwelcome"on a Kawasaki owners forum a number of years ago.

Perhaps the current political trend for inclusivity is being taken a little too far.
Royal Enfield GB facebook closed group is actually a club and like most clubs has membership requirements as can be seen by merely looking at the page - https://www.facebook.com/groups/163078194146170/
Pax vobiscum

My interaction with social media is zero I belong to none I simply do not need it, this and one other forum is about it. Having to join a social media group to talk Enfields ( yes sir you must actually own an Enfield It's the law) as mentioned a bit closed shop, funny handshake malarky. Thing is whats on facebook thats not on here or MBR as far as Enfields go.

I believe there are requirements to join the owners club ie. money (membership fee)and you don't need to own an Enfield.However I am only reading the requirments as stated in the original post here.If you don't own an Enfield sodd off.

I like using Facebook , MBR and occasionally the U.S. forum because it is easy to add pictures and videos - I can just about add the odd link here, but can't be doing with all the rigmarole involved for pictures etc. Having my own FB page [Performance Classics], I can see and understand why you are often required to be a 'Member' - in my case I get to decide what posts get on my page and see who wants to join - without that option there would be all sorts of posts and pictures of horrible wrecks nailed together by mainly Indians, but others as well, there are plenty of 'Look at my fantastic bike, Bro' etc posts awaiting approval on my page [no thanks] which will never see the light of day unless they get posted elsewhere. It also helps keep out the weirdos, of which there seems to be no shortage on the net. The internet and a few forums have been a very big help to me and I don't mind having to be a 'member' of some, if required.

My wife's Facebook is now being bombarded with posts from royal Enfield GB.I never or my wife wanted to be a member.It shows through the technology from this site someone has been able to access her Facebook page.I don't have a Facebook account.Royal Enfield GB is now blocked.I am not interested in people posting pics over their bikes describing how lovely they look.

I cancelled my FB account because of all the unwanted posts it attracted and suspicion I had that information about me was being harvested and delivered to others unknown. I was "poo-poo'd" by a few because I did this but the unwanted adverts and other "in topic" emails soon stopped. Then a few months later, it came out in the press that FB were actually selling personal info. I won't be going back in anytime soon.

Hi OldBoy67, Sorry you didn't get in, please give it a go and we'll keep an eye out for you.



Sorry Jamesy no idea how you would be getting posts if you or your wife are not members? Anyway, we love pictures of our bikes!.





We are a bit selective because there are so many royal enfield type groups, Royal Enfield GB, Royal Enfield owners UK, Cast iron Connoisseurs, Royal Enfield Redditch, Royal Enfield cafe racers group, Royal Enfield club Poland, etc. that is why we try to be very British and as many members have commented, we try to be "The last civilised corner of the internet."






Anyway, I need to go check our photo competition results, and get the Sunday cinema spot sorted out...
