Flat Tire Social Feb 23, 2020 Mission Springs Pub - 11am

Is it going to have a fight at the pub?
that make things fun, pro forums against haters...

Or competition, if can't change a flat, you need to volunteer for the forums.

Fun to see how ppl are always ready to volunteer someone else.

Ppl are barely able to volunteer their 25$

See you all on Sunday at Mission Springs Pub.

If you have not already purchased your 2020 DSBC membership then you can purchase it at the Flat Tire Social. I'll be at the pub at 10:30 so come a bit early and I will sell you a membership.

I will also have DSBC ball caps, DSBC beverage cozies and DSBC toques available for purchase.

BRING CASH.

I checked out the VCMC sites and seems they are having the same problems as DSBC with the forums ony 45 active members on the forum yet some 2000 followers on FB

I do like what they have done regardless, lessons to be learned or copied

What does VCMC stand for I looked all over and no where does it tell me what the letters stand for??????

Let's chat about it tomorrow! The forum used to be huge (100's of active users daily, the epicenter of local amateur motorsport online), but I think the demographic has reduced in age and prefer fb. The club itself has been around since '82, and has many active members still dating all the way to then but digital engagement ebbs and flows.

BTW it stands for Vancouver Chinese Motorsport Club, as that was its heritage but as a past president (and Ukrainian-Canadian) I can attest to it being very multicultural indeed.

Thanks everyone for coming out today, heard from a few guys they always learn something new so that's excellent. Super happy to have seen Ted and Tom both out today, our club founders, awesome!

For those watching the tire change, the Mitas E07 seated the bead at 74psi with a disappointingly quiet pop. On the trail I would have let the pressure out bounced the tire around a lot and flooded it with water to help get it moving and then aired up again.

I think the final count was 64, anyone have a higher count?

Thanks for coming out.

ps. Tom and crew we did chat re forum and things are moving forward.

Yup was a good time, so glad to meet so many new people along with many old compadres. Really got a good feeling that DSDC still has a relevant roll to play in the motorcycling world.

I did a head count to and ended up with 59, but I know I missed a few, if this events are going to continue to grow might have to find a larger venue?

And I got a couple of pics before I got distracted, Good Job Russ.
