No Ron, that's is not what I mean mate. I mean all Australia IBA members.
GTR-AUS may have been the launching pad to which FR became the defacto IBA Australia group but that is not what I meant.
Am thinking back to the inaugural Muster at Parkes, be good if we had those numbers roll up for our rallies and musters.
Bazz and community the drop off attendances to each following IBA Australia Muster is directly related to the number of participants that did the ride as per plan and then found no certificate on the day.
Its started with two then and by Mansfield only 5 or 6 certificates actually got presented. To my Knowledge those whom pulled the pin on all those Muster ride plan never matched and was much much less than the number of missing certificates.
Its really no surprise that riders have lost the drive. I warned of this very issue 3 years back. I posted my concerns back then and reiterated at the mid point of 2020. Many other IBA rides are lodged each year with varying degrees of satisfaction.
As for the FR thing. The greater bulk of IBA Australia members moved on from that time ages ago. Bloody years ago.
So one or two lone wolves howl on the odd occasion. They did before that time. They created that time.
Lets perhaps make it very clear.
The disturbance of emotion back at that time has past. Its Passed.
IBA Australia has developed and grown and ....we are talking here about a different entity.
Vast distances is what the game is about Bazz
Boys and girls you can play in any bike group you like. You can be stoic and patriotic of all your interests.
This topic is about IBA Austral and its goal of local certification of the full platter of IBA rides.
Nothing more.
