hey what's everyone's opinion on the ama. since rcjohn and i have both taken a couple of shots at them.
i was a 4 year member when i decided not to renew.
i could give a damn less about helmet laws. i asked the ama if they were more concerned about helmets or making sure that there were places to ride, concidering they stopped fighting a ca community that banned motorcycles to pursue other issues (i'd guess that's repealing helmets laws. since that's all they talk about). i asked why they don't leave that issue up to abate (the group that traditionally works on the state level), they didn't respond. of course i asked why i had to pay for the ama screwing the little guy as well, so that didn't help either.
jerry wood mentioned on the racelist that the only way to change it is from the inside. but it seems that the ama doesn't wanna listen to members who don't feel the helmet law is as important as having a place to ride without a helmet
anyway, i was wondering, what everyone's opinion is.
this isn't meant as a helmet law debate. i just think that helmet laws aren't the ama's responsibility, it's abate's.
