Straight to hell!

And why they had to have an R1200RS review in there, gits!

It IS a motorcycle club ferkrissakes  8)
I think you will find it's a motorcycle group and not a motorcycle club.

And I think 'you' will find that they are a bike club...

"I was at the IAM spring regional conference a week or two ago and went with questions about whether there was minor conflict regarding WHAM as a bike club and WHAM as a charitable road safety training outfit. I came away full of enthusiasm after hearing first-hand, delivered ably by Robbie and Amanda (both ex-coppers and passionate motorists), that the IAM understand we also want to enjoy ourselves and have fun whilst being part of the core IAM delivery function."

...inter-alia, taken from the vice-chair's foreward to the April newsletter  8)

This time I checked my facts 'before' bursting into print  ;D

Interesting. I belong to HBAM, Herts and Beds Advanced Motorcyclists, and they are always keen to point out that we are not a club.

If you read the WHAM newsletter they appear to be a group with nothing to suggest that they are a club?

Are you a member of WHAM, Brian?

Well Tom, my quote in parenthesis was cut and pasted from the April newsletter as I said. They refer themselves as both a motorcycle club and an IAM charitable wotsit which is why they were checking it out with the IAM.

And no, I'm not a great joiner of clubs or groups  8)
