Exclusives Bikers Club....?

while doing my daily surfing, was surprised to found out that the Official Website of a local motorcycle association which i regularly visited has turn into a "exclusive/private" site for their own selective members only.....as a biker & blogger myself, i was puzzled by this moved...and wondered how will they educate and deliver local motorcycle industry info to the general public by blocking unauthorized viewers from viewing their web.....

or it really is a exclusives bikers club now...? wondered........
