You know, when I saw this thread start I wanted to reply but felt it would look like sour grapes given the timing. But at this stage of the game I want to reply.
Assuming what the OP stated is accurate, and I see no reason not to believe it as Graham has elected not to dispute the allegation and on the contrary has asked that the picture of him be removed, I think Graham has done something wrong. Do we all do silly things out on the roads? Probably, I know I do. I don’t come to complete stops at every stop sign, I sometimes go faster than the posted speed limit and so on. And I suspect most of you reading this break the law in some form or fashion when you’re out for a drive. But I think the OP hit the nail on the head….. Graham’s action (and sometimes ours) doesn’t paint a favorable picture of the club. And as the President of the Region he should be held to a higher standard.
Back to the OP’s first post, it’s actions like cutting across traffic that give Porsche (you can substitute any make here) owners a bad name….. Just like the guys in the rolling speakers that thump so hard at traffic lights, and motorcyclist driving like mad men without helmets (insert your favorite analogy here) tarnish each of their cultures. However, it’s the actions of you that criticize Jallen0385 for bringing this to light that give RTR a bad name.
