Hi Kev,
Sorry, but I am going to rain on this parade, and respectfully disagree with you.
I have attended a few MCC meetings, and in general I have observed the following;
1/ There are a few people, Rob included, who I believe seek a political career, and see the MCC as that stepping stone.
2/ The MCC has not kicked any goals in a number of years. The CTP issue is a case in point. The MCC wants to take the Neville Chamberlain approach, hoping that a few forceful words in writing the politicians will roll over and restore CTP back to a realistic level.
3/ The MCC is not in touch with it's grass roots. The bulk of the motorcycling community do not believe that they are represented well by the MCC.
4/ The CTP fight was driven from people like RAB, and the thousand motorcyclists who went to Macquarie St. I was one of them.
The MCC needs to go back to it's grass roots, and get motorcyclists behind them. Once they do this, and give up on their own political careers then I will be happy to get behind them.
And yes I was happy to discuss this with Rob too, but anytime I have wanted to have a discussion with him he is not interested. Just like a politician.
Just my 0.02c
