Over the last weekend we had our cherry on the cake event the Brit Butt Rally.
Following a discussion with EL President Phil, he asked me how we can go forward and build on successes like the RBLR, Ride to Eats and alike to build numbers of those who enter our rallies and tour events also increase the numbers who do certified rides and attend Ride To Eats.
I am going to speak with some contacts in the motorcycle industry and attempt to get some ideas, but what I am asking YOU is for your input and ideas.
When I first entered the BBR over 40 competed, now that is less then 30, it doses go up and down for many reasons costs, holidays and time. I myself could not participate this time due to not getting the time off from work.
I do not want complaint's about scoring or the rules, every sport needs rules otherwise chaos would rule.
what i want is ideas to increase our profile not just with motorcyclists but main stream motoring publications.
If you are fiends with a motoring journalist or a personality who rides a motorcycle encourage them to enter one our events or rides.
Remember at the start of '000 motorcycling was in a sick state, then 2 actors decided to travel around the world and look what they've done for all off us, the GS riders amongst us will understand.
We as individuals need to think how we explain to none IBA members what we do, most associate Rallies with consuming large volume of alcohol.
So lets be positive and and build a future.
One last thing, if you want your suggestions private email me [email protected]
