I seriously doubt BlackBalled made anything up. He may be somewhat outspoken in the ATV community but I don't think he is a liar.

I guess cyclists like MWQ and 2-Trakkr have become so desperate in their attempts to discredit me...that even an obvious factual statement (in fun) <u>must</u> <u>be</u> spun/mis-directed to keep the focus off of who exactly not only was behind this safety and maintenance minded legislation....but who immediately <u>killed</u> <u>it</u>.

By the way, 2-Trakkr...how went your fellow cyclist's attempt at making AtvOffRoad members the red-headed-step-children of the (motor)Cycle Conservation Club this past Saturday?
Was the vote any closer than the day your member "majority" in AOR 'voted' on shutting down both Polaris and hugely historic House Bill 5343.....in <U>less</U> <U>than</U> a day itself?

Yup, everything he posts that's an outright lie is "just in fun". Too bad more people don't see the humor in it.

If you were a member of either organization, you'd probably know the answer by now.

Did I miss where MWQ was trying to discredit you?

While everyone is busy bashing Blackballed, don't miss the important message. It would appear that again we forget that the so called spokesman group has taken actions to kill any trail building effort that would be construed as multi use in the State of MI.

This action validates what BB has said and is saying. It also validates the notion that this group is misleading not only the ATV members who THINK they are being represented, but it also is duping the government officials that are taking actions in good faith based upon claimed numbers of membership.

That my friend is fraud. If the organization has taken $ from members.. members with an expectation that their voices were being heard, but in fact not... then I believe legal procedings could and should be forthcoming. Perhaps a letter writing campaign laying out this shell game to the officials involved may be in order....

The cycle crowd needs to understand that the game is up... ATV riders do not want this fight... but if the group continues to speak with forked tongue on their behalf, it may be necessary to move forward with said action to get them to cease and desist.

Wider trails that everyone can enjoy are better than nothing at all. Y'all could take up bird watching if that would give you a bigger thrill... (sorry, couldn't help myself)

In my neck of the woods, that entails driving on a freeway at rush hour. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
