re bmw moa members read this in article shaman wv tek com harmons wv tek com harmon sommer writes as a new bmw owner i was thinking about signing up for the moa but let my current membership lapse when it s up for renewal hints on what will keep the organization in business that long become an activist campaign for an mc insurance program for universal driver rider training before licensing pick a topic dear to your heart and get the organization to act on it barnacles don t move ships you re obviously not referring to any of the three above quoted individuals because barnacles don t each send to the crew of the ship to keep it moving get the organization to act on it is easy to say but says little about what one really can and should do what the organization actually will do is largely determined by the president and directors as far as i can see that s what makes it so important to vote in an election of officers it does strike me that the bmwmoa is a lot less politically active in the state and national arenas not infighting than other m c organizations should we change this or just join the other groups that already are in politics incidentally the political hazards to motorcycle riders in the us at the moment don t compare to the problems of some other groups like gun owners just try to take up target pistol shooting in the northeast or california and i bet you ll wish you only had to worry about wearing a helmet why does every thread on rec moto eventually come around to guns david karr karr cs cornell edu
