This post was pretty much dead until i asked what was going on, i cant say i like it much, and i reckon most of you will agree with me there.
I can understand business trying to make money, thats what they do, but they must do it admiralbly or they'll get no encouragement or support, a business with out support is a dead duck.
The support comes from you guys, you have the right to decide what is right and what is wrong
but it's only your decision for yourself you can't decide whats right or wrong for anyone else but yourself.
as for The club thing, its seems the 'big' or 'og' clubs feel threatend by newer clubs (remember i'm overseas so a true outsider without clouded but maybe uneducated vision) The large clubs have pulled together to try and help but with little education they started something that turned into a monster by the business people involved, thats a real shame, perhaps lessons have been learn't
Whats all that BS about in for life ? surely a club is just that, its a group of people with a like minded interest who enjoy sharing their feelings wiht like minded people, people are allowed to change their mind and do thier own thing, In the UK, in my club inparticular we were going to introduce 'rules' but after alot of talking we decided we didn't actually need rules because we all thought along the same lines, hell we dont even have a proper president, i take the role of 'front man' or 'elected president' not just because i've been a member the longest but because i have the most contacts, time and resource to deal with any club related issues, i voluntered my phone number and email as a contact point and i 'own' the website (paid for out of my own pocket) each member knows and does his/her own thing and the club runs really smoothly - the way it should be, a bunch of friends interested in Lowriding. period.
sorry for the blurb, it seems a lot of people have lost the passion and become too wrapped up in themselves/the clubs and the money.
IMHO
