I see those MOTOS logos in everyone's sig. Those would make cool stickers. Did anyone ever make any? I would love to put one on my bike. Are there any out there? LMK. Thanks.

MOTOS chooses the members in the group. It is not something that BMX Society has any direct involvement in. My understanding is that one does not apply or petition for admittance. They will come to you when the time is right.

This site and MOTOS have a special agreement based essentially on the fact that MOTOS is cool organization and we expect them to contribute a lot of good 70's research and content exclusively to this site. That was the basis for the affiliation.

In general, we do not do signatures on this site. It looks like a mess, and people post all manner of goofy stuff there and often it just becomes a for sale or wanted posting area.

So... we have a no signature policy. "Signature" being the area at the bottom of your posts that would always be visible.

Up to now, the only exception is the "Research Contributor" designation and the MOTOS members having their banner.

This MOTOS you all speak of is some sort of misunderstanding. Never existed. Never will :whistling:

We had a similar thing in my fraternity in college. It was an elite society within an elite society. They even had their own separate hell week and pledge semester and everything.

GHMF were the initials. I was not a member.

I remember guys from GHMF would tell other guys in my house that I was going to get an "invite", just so that they would tell me and that I would "get my hopes up". I laughed and said "yeah, right!" because I knew it was a prank and that I was never going to be in that group. LOL

It's like Skull and Bones.... No official Roster is posted...heheehehe.. Some speculation as to who is, or who isn't in the secret society. Some flaunt their membership on their avatar, some of us don't. :wink:

There's an 80's group too, but it's pretty hush-hush. In fact, I've already said too mu........

The first rule of M.O.T.O.S. probably goes something like, "You don't talk about M.O.T.O.S." :whistling:
