AS a short term member of both clubs i do not have the benefit (or otherwise) of fore knowledge or hindsight.
I DO however have many years experience running and organising many clubs and associations and one thing has always been apparent.
Those clubs and organisations who fall into the trap of infighting, backbiting, recriminations, finger pointing, breastbeating and generally forgetting why the group was formed in the first place are doomed.
If different people have different viewpoints then why is there a problem with different clubs? If someone wants to have a club catering only for silver/copper busa's fine - if you don't want to be a member thats fine too.
So lets cut the crap and get on with the business of enjoying our bikes and each others company. I for one will talk to anyone about bikes, anywhere any time - even those unfortunate individuals riding Hardly Davos
