Is "issue apathy" rampant in your state also?

Question: If you're a non-profit who's paycheck is signed by another non-profit <EM>this</EM> screwed up on the helmet safety issue...are you going to risk <EM>your</EM> livelihood over literally <EM>thousands</EM> of people every month witnessing these Windrock kids tear up a mountainside doubled up sans any kind of brain bucket?

Or would you finally break good people <STRONG>free</STRONG> of this nonsense and finally stand for true <STRONG>"legacy"</STRONG> v.s. continually being the red-headed step child?
From that web page:
"AMA position in support of voluntary helmet use"
Glad I am not a paying member of that organization.

I always wear mine. What about you?

If we ask why their red-headed-step-child atv organization doesn't question the fact that this stance affects how our community effectively and in person responds to this blatant no--excuse safety-related nonsense in their largest riding areas...wouldn't you suggest that the 4-wheel community swing themselves off of that horse and even more importantly... "leave the racetrack"? (which is where both of these organizations spend far to much of their time as compared with confronting these far more important life and death issues <u>head</u>-<u>on</u>).

We have a class 1 thorough-bred race track here. I think it would make a great flat track course.

Don't know about Michigan, but as much as some people beat a dead horse, that could be a possibility there.

Would that count against the new trail mileage?
