agree with Abusa here. All of those things I think should not be open.
the "hidden" sections of course only get known to those that qual for it :)
a simple reg is easy as to make fake user names with as well.... I say 55 post limit or something & check the persons post to make sure its not 55 posts of just crap.
many bike forums I am apart of are like this - coppers are on them - but we know who they are as well & where they are.
netrider.net.au, overclockers.com.au/mc, weekendriders.net all do this to keep them selfs & their members safe.
If its good enough for them - I say its good enough for us.
Also may.. MAY deter those unwanted people that can see the movements of those with drag bikes, bling bikes - in fact any of our bikes - and decide to try & nab one.
There was a while back a heap of stuff stolen at a drag bike meet & all for a busa.
So all in all - I feel its better for those of us that care about the club & those apart of it to protect us some what from this stuff. like I said - other bike clubs do it - there is no reason to have any of it open - if you ride a busa & dont mind playing or whatever - then reg & show us your not Mr plod! other riders as well sure - but keep them to the general area's unless we personally know them - no one should have a problem with this unless they are the people wanting to watch us or watch our bikes!
a start to those we could trust DJ - would be people I have ridden with in high gear.... such as your self in the national park ;) would be nice to be able to trade stories with out having to worry about that friggen google bot turning it up in a google search or mr plod reading it.
