[QUOTE="Buckrun, post: 43331, member: 51"] I can't see the benefit for the bucks where I ride. So, no, I'm not a member. Most HS races I ride are local, with no AMA required. I do recognize the fact that the AMA has some clout in Congress and local government when it comes to keeping riding areas open. Their money seems to be spent out west. But that never affects me. I have everything I need without paying the AMA the dollars. That's pretty shitty, huh? Not supporting a sport I love? Here's a good reason: They are crappy at telling me where my money will go and what affect it will have on our sport. Particularly where I RIDE! The AMA does nothing for me, other than collect my dues, if I want to ride in an AMA event! So I won't pay! I need to see a direct correlation between what I pay for and what I get these days! Money is tight! Gas is almost $4.00 a gallon! Look at the NRA, Huh? If you pay your dues, they give you almost weekly info and a cool magazine every month specifically geared to your region! That's good service! I'll pay for that! (Life member, Would you expect less from anyone called "Buckrun"?) I directly benefit from my NRA membership. They have REAL clout that directly affects what I like to do! I can't say that AMA dues will do me the same. :smirk: [/QUOTE]
