As is the case with most clubs, they don't think to highly of the IO.
I can imagine. LOL.

Glad to hear that he has great support.

Probably tough on him at first to accept it. Still would be.

I bet they are sponsored by seat manufacturers and after giving you a consultation and adjusting your back, they blame your stock seat and point you to the after market vendors

I believe it. Ever since f'n SOA there have been "clubs" popping up all over the damn place. 4 or 5 guys that like to ride together all of a sudden think they should form a club. Most don't last too long.

He could still drive for a while with a modified setup, but they took his driver's license about 3 years ago. That pissed him off big time!

Hahaha, never thought of that. Good marketing tool. I bet if you bring that forth to them, they will hire you.

I only ride with 2 or 3 guys across a whole summer, WS being the exception. I'd have a helluva time organizing a part time club or one with just me. hahah
