You're entitled to your opinions about beer & food @ MK Pete but that's not being very fair

Yes there may have been discussions about getting Scot from across the pond, but the cost of a plane ticket from Cali would have wiped out a massive chunk of the MK budget, much of which goes on unglamorous but necessary items like skips, toilets & marquees
As for the Dog & Duck's drink and the food which you appear to have a problem with, a large chunk of that was very kindly donated by Radsters, would you have had us turn those donations down???

We may not have had him over, but thanks to donations from people in that free bar Scot received a sizeable donation from us all

I think John's answered pretty much everything there Pete.

It's a real shame we couldn't do it at the time but you of all people know what goes into putting MK on every year, and the D&D doesn't cost anywhere near return flights to Cali and expenses.  That would've come to a combined cost of the marquees, skip and toilets.

As we said, it wasn't that we didn't want to do it.....just we couldn't afford it.

Absolutely fooking ridiculous comment to make Pete you should be ashamed of yourself.

If I was you I would take a step back and re-evaluate what you wrote.

Also Scot may have not  been allowed through customs?  When it was mentioned earlier this year that Scot could come to MK I looked into the visa side of things and from what I was told, I cannot see how Scot would have got a visa doing things the right way (with a criminal record you MUST apply for a visa to enter the UK even if you are on holiday), so we could have spent thousands of pounds on him coming for him to have been turned away at UK customs.

Would that have been a good way to spend the members money?

Also if Scot would have come to MK with us footing the bill, that would have been 95% of our MK budget gone, so we would have had no D&D, no entertainment, no ramps, no S&S prizes, no raffle.  Just a shit load of blokes in a field queuing up to get Scot's autograph.

Wow that would have been a fun weekend.

Yep I so ashamed of myself

Any chance of getting this thread back on track?

Too late for what 'could' have happened ... only what 'can' happen.

Did he ever ride Motocross ?.... Oh hell yes did he ever, was only a support rider for team Yamaha. His roots in Motocross drove him to start what he did for BMX. He raced for the likes of Yamaha, Dan Gurney, Matthews and FMF which lead him to start FMF BMX. He was an awesome Motocross rider.
