I think some good disussion is coming from a few people on the gear issue.

What I meant to say when I said "Squids are not welcome (wear the gear)" was not that we should ban them but I am asking people to approach them and mention their lack of gear.

It takes some BIG Cajones to stand up for what you believe in and approach someone and say "Hey, cool bike, were is your gear?"

I am in TOTAL agreement that we cannot influence if they are not there. I just would ask that I am not the only "asshole" trying to influence people in there gear choice.

Vix, Maybe you could get a pic of all the people IN their gear in a group or on their bikes with gear on. The more we try and stress that the gear is important, even in subtle ways will go a long way in influencing the community.

The point was made that we don't want the non motorcycling community seeing us as a bunch of punk kids. I agree. We will continue to show responsiablity. Maybe if we took up a collection or started some kinda fund raiser for a beneficiary in Winooski?

What do you think? Does anyone have access to a PA system?
