and quite a few of us share a car journey 'cos it means more money to spend on beer and food rather than petrol! Of course it also stops those who are injured and cannot go by bike but someone with a car kindly offers a lift and those who's bikes are off the road at the time of the rally.

We could of course negate the unwanted and unwashed by making it a BM member + guest private event, entry via ticket only. You could then charge a nominal fee for the ticket (to cover printing/postage and field hire. Petervalk is the bloke to ask about rallies, the daft bugger lives em! pmsl say £10 per ticket and then the only other expence is whatever booze you drink or food you eat.

If it's done as a BM rally then anyone who is a member is welcome. It doesn't matter how they arrive. If it's not open to ALL BM members however they choose to arrive then it's not a BM rally.

Know where yr coming from , RC & Di. All looked at on their own merits - exeptions can be made in exeptional circumstances. But note this is still BIKERmatch. Just fed up going 2 rallies where there r more cars than bikes. NB - I hav a family too - so appreciate the probs. As 4 Ghosty's fekkin helicopter...

Then with all due respect go to a non BM meet that doesn't allow cars if that's how you feel. I have neither car or bike at the min as I can't afford to replace at the moment, so am I banned too if I arrive by bus, train or on foot? (or GH's imaginary chopper!) If it's advertised as a BM meet then all are welcome. If not then it's not a BM meet if you discriminate against people who pay their subs each week. PS. I said in ya chopper not on it!

I hate that "no cars" stipulation when it comes to rallies... and it's one of the main things that'll put me off going to one... I'm an independent sod and when single, I much prefer to get to a rally under my own steam, rather than snag a pillion ride from someone who you've then got to trust enough not to demand a "ride" for a ride, or you end up fighting off their advances all weekend and having a thoroughly miserable time, trying to remain polite as you're 200 miles from home and need to get back somehow. & if you do ride a bike, yet the morning of the rally, something goes wrong with it? You're not "allowed" to go cos you're not on 2 wheels? Takes more than just happening to have 2 wheeled transportation that's on the road on some particular day to define a "biker" in my book.
