Firstly , I must thank the IBA Association , for allowing us to use their forum , Sad , if that be the fact , kinda had a feeling , still living in denial ... that there is some hope for the future of F .. R.......
an I allowed too say that word again ?
I m relatively new here in the bigger picture . My some 5 yrs, however do know , there are many passionate motorcyclists from all corners ..
very happy my Son got 2 rides and His partner got to do .
# 1194 & #1195... just made it ..
can only see a handful of solutions
sadly it or more so the 1197 of let it slip away ... we Take the 1197 passionates , run it as a different brand .
maybe come up with an arrangement that all can live with .. with IBA it’s self ,
That maybe another ride , shorter then 1610 ks Be created into their constitution ,.so we can keep on doing
as most low numbered F.... R......... are IBA anyways .
and not all of us have the time , or ability , fuel range on our current bikes to do 1610 in 24hrs .
Thus IBA , would become stronger with increased memberships .
.
it Slips away ...
change Brand . As the memberships were not sold ... we are still free .
or that Third option
guess there is ... GTRs Or RTEs
It’s been in my part , an amazing 5 yrs .
The people I’ve met , towns had lunch ,
the stunning country side , rain , hale , dark time , stinking hot . The odd poem I’ve written .
I thank all ,
Cheers Roy
