Absolutely. I think it is a fair policy. They can even have flyers made up in advance I will put them in the registration packets or have them at the reg table. I really thought everyone was clear on this. Guess not.
Just for some background info, Fred became involved in the Get-Together by chance a few years ago. Eric Mercer's KLR fried its battery on the White Rim and was able to limp back to Moab late afternoon on a Saturday. We immediately went to My Kawasaki to see if they had one. They didn't and didn't even offer to try to find one nearby. The owner basically said "no we don't have a battery for you, now please go I have to meet some friends at the river."
On Sunday, Eric and friend Bill Daniells discovered Fred and Arrowhead Motorsports. On Sunday morning, Fred opened up his shop, got a battery and charged it up for Eric. I think he even installed it too. Eric told me about it, I wrote a thank you to Fred and the rest is history. In my book, good deeds go rewarded and I included Fred in subsequent Get-Togethers as the official shop.
Just for those who want to know.

If someone has seen both brands of the riding jeans, I'd like to hear a
comparison. They both mention 'keprotec' as the protective layer.

MCN did a comparison of Bros vs Draggin' in the October, 1999 issue. They
gave the nod to Bros...

The cabbie probably needs the anger management more than Tumu. He probably
just filled up his tank and realized he is going to have to eat hamburgers
instead of steak for awhile.
Russel'r <- Be careful out there all you urban cowboys; high gas prices
mean hot tempers. Road rage could be a big problem this summer.

My take on it is that most of the land use BS is based on doomsdayist

Two out of three Marks agree.
