OK,

just got off the phone from Brian-R Payne (General Manager - MA) and he has deceided that as I would put comments on the site, then he did not want to talk to me. I simply advised him that I wanted the truth to go on the site and he again said he did not want to talk if things made it to the site. So I hung up on him.

Well all I can say, is get stuffed MA.

If I find information to be twisted and not true from MA, I will put it all online and will publish everything I have as proof. I do not know what they have to worry about before, but they better start worrying now. If that is MA's attitude, then they can take a flying leap.

The only way they can stop me from going off at their mis-management is to buy this site, because I aint going to stop.

Here is the original e-mail that Brian did not want me to inform you the user about:

Dear David,

Would you give me a call at the office so we can discuss input to your site.

Regards,

Brian-R

Enjoy that MA. I don't need your crap when all we are trying to do here is help the sport but your officials supply watered down minutes that I was copping flack over. Maybe I should post the original e-mail of all MA dealings upon the site.

Further to this, now I have had time to think and still stand by what I have said, wants to put their view of the way it seems that MA is running a unproffessional (in my view) company.

Why do we have MA and the state bodies? Would it not be cheaper and better for all if there was only one body to pay fees to? Would it not be better if people that actually rode (not just turned up every now and then) at race tracks actually controlled the sport of motorcycling?

I want to have open and public discussion on MA as they seem to want to have closed doors and screw who they can to make a quick buck to benefit their hip pocket and not the sport. Correct me if I am wrong, but after the "quick" phone call with Brian, I think it is a shame.

David White (CEO - MA) told both Allan and myself they would put input in to the site and will help out openly, then did not even respond to e-mails. Shows you that the truth hurts at MA and they close up as soon as they are found to do the wrong thing. Karma bus (or should that be the MEDIA bus) is going to hit MA in a big way. Yep thats correct, I am going to publicly expose MA for what they really are. Was that ACA or Today Tonight...

If i remember David White of MA vic said that MA vic would post minutes and other imformation on the web when we had a meeting last time with David White "and" wot happened a "BIG ZERO".

Maybe it's time that there is only one MA, a federal body that means only one CEO, one sec, one treasurer, one Australia wide licence fee, one testing fee, one race licence; should we be like most modern Busness and only "one" corporate body??

Think of the savings!! With no state run bodys ripping off monies to keep their own domain running!! Only one office to run, less rent paid for building's and yes have paid staff no hanger oners!!
