Years ago, I used to race motorcycles off-road quite a bit. To enter into ANY events in the region I was in, I had to be a member of the sanctioning organization and the AMA. At first, I felt similar to how you are in your post above. Then, I realized that THEY were the ONLY thing keeping this going for me to enjoy since the onslaught at the Federal level and 'Special' interest groups was pretty much NON stop year after year. I wish things were different, but 'we' did what we had to do and had a choice to either participate or risk being regulated and left behind. Funny, they are BOTH still working well in my opinion, still retained massive membership and 'The Public' still have places to ride and enjoy their sport. My idea was simply one to present on a similar foundation. You don't like it, plain and simple. Why not post an idea or two instead of calling my Comrade?!?
