| I am not sure, but I guess it will mean new ideas may come around. |

| As racing motorcyclists, Motorcycling Australia used to be our riders' union. However MA is now a corporation, and we do not elect it's leader. When I vote, I always vote for people who express common decency. I have had occasion to interact with Mick Pettifer. He is OK - which is more than I can say for some others. |

| Sidecar racers are all drunks. They must need Dutch courage, even when the bikes cannot fall over. |

Alan, IMO Sidecar riders are the true Gentlemen of Motorsports.
This fact is known to cause all others extreme jealously such that they try to denigrate sidecars.
Of course they are in denial and will splutter all types ?of words, but thye fact remains, sidecar teams have bigger balls than all of you combined. |

| Mobility scooters are also safe. Clasic racing rules should require all sidecars to have those little flags on sticks, to show ehere they are. |

| Derek Pickasrd and Peter Lord from the Velocette Owners Club started the historic racing idiocy. Neither of them had never road raced a motorcycle. Where are they now ? |

| I think it is sad, that kids in the future will probably never know the jou of building a road-rasce motorcycle and developing it to go faster. |

| Motorcycling Australia is funded by people who race motorcycles. However MotoGP seems to be the only motorcycle road racing which is ever televised in Australia. TV channels will not pay for content. |
