R&T Charity Trail Ride - Sunday, June 13, 2010

[Laoch]

Unfortunately, due to AMA insurance reason, camping Saturday night WILL NOT be available.

AMA

[Hare]

you also need AMA to ride most any dual sport or race so its a must.

No matter what, without it being listed on the flyer I think they are going to have a few peeps show up expecting to camp, they might want to come up with a close alternative camping spot just in case. I am sure it will work itself out.

Look us up! I will be the short fat guy with an old motorhome just this side of Sanford and Son.

We will probably camp Saturday evening nearby, if anyone else is camping let us know where and maybe can meet and drink.

race yes, DS rides no. I've taken AMA's risk management course and while they encourage AMA membership they state explicitly it isn't required for DS rides.

So you don't need to be an AMA member for the AMA dualsport events?

Not by AMA rules - that is totally up to the club hosting the event.

Ok, that clears things up. I thought I remembered seeing "AMA membership required" on some DS flyers.

those bastards and to think I've been paying all this time, just a couple more years and I'm a lifetimer

yup - the local clubs have the option of requiring it

[Firebolter]

It's additional cheap insurance they can carry if they do the AMA required thing, that's why the clubs that do it, do it! We require it for SS500.

I think you will find more clubs will require AMA than those not. Any club operating an organized event without AMA insurance is just asking for trouble for the land owner and club members. It will make your head spin to hear all the cases where some jack ass did something stupid and the landowner and club members got wiped out $$$$$.
