My opinion, which is not worth squat, is, it DOES depend on the local members. I belonged, quit, and re-upped this year. I don't care for the beuracracy at all, I know the top dogs in Phoenix are making boo koo bucks, and the website is full of snotty people. I re-upped to save face amongst a bunch of old members, and friends I have had the pleasure of making. Our chapter lost its director,Craig Harrison, and his wife just could not carry on with the position, so it has changed.I have been asked to become a saftey officer, but I don't have the time to do the position justice. All in all, I am glad to have met the people involved, but I don't have alot of use for the actual "club". They say it's not a club, but an association. I suppose for tax reasons. I don't like the fact that the chapter members get cheezy decals and dirt cheap other stuff, when they work so hard to hold things together,sometimes spending "out of pocket" to get things done. I was a fireman in Arizona when GWRRA started. It was an eletist group of rich old dudes, and rather obnoxious to any "non-wing" riders. I owned a new 1980 interstate, but I didn't like how they treated my friends. Just my experience. jimsjinx
