Fee Silent drop-outs and vocal resignations have plagued the Southern Calltorn1a Road Riders Committee as that organ1zat1on's membership has falled to grow with the sport and actually decreased in number. Motorcycle clubs have always come and gone. In recent years, however, a number ot road clubs have co me and stayed. Some have joined the RRC and dropped out, others justbaven'tbothered with the organization. n.e Too-Tired Motorcycle Cl ub became one of the latest clubs to forego what the club's founde r lermed, " Th e dubious pleasures of membership In the RRC.

We don 't care to engage In extended arguments over small matters while Issues vital to the sport are totally ignored: ' Harley Rathbun , one of the men who originally conceived the idea of the RRC stated, .. We joined the RRC to do what we could to better the sport r emain ac tiv e , and help the organ ization progre ss. It klnda hurts though when the Johnny- com e-lately' s ma ke s nide r emarks because you won't dety your docln r' s orders an d ride all the poker runs." • • • • • • ~
