I think its time to get away from FIM. They're getting way too big for their boots. They're a bit like the UN (united nations) in that they are all talk and no action. I was reading yesterday about the James Stewart incident and the way the FIM handled the whole thing. Seems nobody in the US thinks that being with the FIM is good for them.

I prefer not to comment on something until I see exactly what has been said.  Can someone post a link to what the FIM have done (or proposed).

As for James Stewart he has the right of appeal and considering he has support from the AMA, who knows what will now happen.

We should start the controlling body  "FIm50plus' and control all forms of racing for over 50 year olds!

A few years ago I stumbled across an interesting statistic. The average age of an off-road motorcyclist, not necessarily competitive, was 44.
