I agree wholeheartedly with Woolley.
I marshal mostly car meetings (around 45 days a year) but I LOVE bike racing and started adding a few to my volunteering form a few years ago. I relish the WSB and BSB at Silverstone and cannot wait for us to host Moto GP.
I have been very warmly welcomed at bike meetings (in spite of wearing black) and have never encountered any animosity whatsoever.
Cars and bikes are VERY different disciplines and different rules, therefore, apply. We need to respect those who know best in a given situation and be willing, sometimes, to take a back seat and simply assist.
We meet all sorts of people along the way ... in our working, professional, personal and volunteering lives. There are, inevitably, good/bad/indifferent ... and numpties! Let's just all enjoy what we enjoy and, most importantly, DO IT SAFELY (please).
