Thanks man, and for the other info too, I am looking into it now. The
Mouse has been hinting but again, it's hard enough to find places to
ride motorcycles thanks to the worthless representation of the AMA in
CT.
You certainly have problems with all manner of organizations that touch
your life.


Maybe the problem is...you?


Here is a thread as to how ineffective and useless the AMA is in CT.
We have only 1 publicly available riding area here even though we pay
the AMA a lot of money to represent us.


I think you missed the point.

You like to complain about organizations, but the way to resolve
organizational problems is to take over the organization. You and your
buddies should find out how to do what with the AMA, and if that doesn't
suit your needs, start another organization that does. That's what
community organizing is all about.

I thought the AMA was a sanctioning body, not a track builder, but I
don't know that for sure. I'll bet there are some interesting insurance
challenges.

What are your AMA dues that you are complaining so loudly?- Hide quoted text -

$30 bucks a year, and I don't really care much, but they are kind of
like AARP. Insurance salesmen who squash any competition with huge
lobby donations. The problem is, they do nothing really but stand
back, as soon as someone needs them, they dissappear and the track
goes down in flames...
