Message: [QUOTE="wardy, post: 1126810, member: 16710"] Booney, we made rule changes like we did that can be utilized Today and with today's conditions. Not "hopeing" that we all start sound checking, not telling the "big 4" they HAVE to make smaller cc machines, etc. The later of that sentence would surely been nixed. This change would have worked, or at least started us in the right path for the RIDER, but as i said before it screwed with a marketing plan. we at congress understand what we have to work with and understand our reason to be there, it's sad that people think for some reason it is about self profit or not for the betterment of the sport. What made us even more furious was that way this got handled. Some stated that one congressman is making a 'Big stink cause he didn't get his way" Well yep that's me, but I am yelling loud for who? I personally have a riding park AND a race track, they ride one or the other. But i have listened to this argument a long time and been asking for a change since 2003. he we are. Dumping a weak thumper on some unsuspecting soul is just one of the many problems out there. hell there is a congressman (dealer) in PA that has a "room full" of brand new thumpers which are blown up. Here is how that plays. Rider comes in finances a bike, rides it a while, blows it up, finds out the repair cost, leaves it at the shop and says see ya. Now he has bad credit, no bike, and guess what, he now is now longer in our sport. which means he likey has no need for an AMA card or goes riding or racing. That is two of the three items we are about at ama. YOu know RIghts< Riding< Racing. Of course I personally like to see Racing at the fore front, but thats a whole different issue, guess that would be the "racer" in me. :) [/QUOTE]
