I didn't think you guys had dealer/tech support any longer? Your "add" doesn't say anything about OHV fees, breakfast, or dinner included in the assocaited costs. Are all of those fees included?

Really, a Ripoff!?? That's not worth it to you? Next time you're out on a trail several miles into an ORV Park, and you break down, call a towing company, and remember to tell them to bring you parts to fix your rig, oh yeah and tell them to bring you breakfast and dinner while you wait for them to arrive and then tow you out of the park, and then FIX your rig.

I don;t wheel in ORV parks, our group brings tools, parts. As for a tow, yes that's some big bucks if you breakdown on a trail. Insurance is a must to make sure you are covered off road.

I think the PRICE is CHEAP for what you're getting from THC. Quoted from other forum post by: richbodygym

Really? Plus paid ORV Park fees, plus an event shirt, plus liability and accident insurance coverage, plus awards and giveaways at the Saturday night dinner, plus the friendships that you will make for life (maybe the most value). Our Club events are priced to break-even and hopefully we accomplish that at each event for the enjoyment of the Club members and to be able to do this again next year! By: Camou2

So the Club covers all memeber's accidents, breakdowns on their events?
example" H3 owners comes to event, wheels, 1st time out, blows up his front diff, slams into a tree in the process. THCI will cover his repairs and damage through this insurance/ liability coverage?

As for meeting up with others on the trip, perfect! That's what the events are all about. I have had 2 experiences with THCI. 1 was a bunch of H1 owners who basically laughed at the H2's I was with. ..back in 04.
Second, I was going to be running the same trail, the same day as the THCI was in Moab. I was told you cannot run with us..even though this was public land and was at the trail head. So, yeah, great group those two were. I know quite a few people that run with THCI. Good people, too bad the guys running it back than were ignorant..not sure if they are the smae now or not.

Membership fee $65. no big deal. But than to pay for each event, I just don't see it. I can run with the CHO group, meet many of the same people, have no dues per event. If the event(s) were hosted on private land, held at a resort setting, the cost wouldn;t be bad.
But at $265 for a small family just to attend 1 event, seems steep to me.

If all the above costs you and I both listed are included/ covered, it's not bad, but still pricing out many that cannot afford an expesive weekend like that. ...just saying. I'm sure it's worth it to many that don;t have spare parts, tools to work on thier trucks, or...
