however, it is still quite undeniably interesting to gain other peoples take on the whole thing, don't you agree ?

there are review sites for everything else on the good 'ol tinterweb

Have no doubt, I will be making MY own mind up (if I hadn't already)

but there are obviously issues here that need some addressing

1. your welcome.

2. Not really, like I said it was my choice to join for my reasons, did not need any others take on the ifs, buts, why or wherefores.

3.sure there is but they don't all have polls

4. then this topic was pointless

5.Sure, join go to the AGM put them forward and have them addressed, that's the normal way.

Join it, Sharpy. You provide good input here on the Board and as a member, you can help steer the club in the direction you want it to go. The Club can only change and improve if there are members willing to do their bit towards that goal. The Message Board wouldn't exist but for the paying members who join/re-join each year. There's discounts to be had as a member.

Plus, the Roundel gives you magical powers ...

I may be exaggerating a little with that last point.

Sad to say - I haven't joined because I have an aversion to being a paid-up member of any bike club. My reasons for this are well-known and have been mentioned here before. Basically, by not being a paid-up member I am above the political nonsense that goes on (and there's been a lot of it here lately), I don't have an axe to grind and I don't have a right to express an opinion re. certain issues.

That suits me very well. I get on with the business of having fun with bikes instead.

Some people might think this is being unduly tight but, I believe I'm a net contributor as I do my best to help out with technical stuff, knowledge I have found re. my racing 800ss experience etc.

join.
its a top club.
I don't care what happens with my money. its only 20 bucks.
as long as the web is up then that's all I need.
it gives me so much useful info.
helped me strip my bike down to the chassis so I could paint it.
helped me put a new engine in when I wanted more cubes. and so on.
the money I must of saved by picking peoples brains who had been there and done that must be mega.
the parts I have come across to upgrade my bike from other members.
and so on.
just join.
other clubs are a bit like wearing a fake Rolex watch.

I voted you should join, which may appear hypocritical as I have not renewed my membership, but historionics apart I feel that it is still a good environment for middle of the road Ducatisti to enjoy their pastime and meet lots of likeminded people ...... don't be drawn into any debate that involves the MT and you have much less chance of being abused and villified for having contencious or challenging views ..... do as Fordie and many like him do, enjoy it for what it is and leave the rest to someone else .... enjoy ...

Oh mate...I'm on the MT and have never knowingly abused or vilified anybody.

Now self-abuse, that's a different matter
