From talking to Bill at 491 the reason he charges the same for a passenger as the driver is insurance. The way his policy is written they make no distinction as to which seat you are sitting in, just that you are on the property. I know that at least 50% of the cost of entry goes straight to insurance if not more. Dirty turtle has a slightly different set up that when you become a "member" by buying the sticker you are subject to different insurance setup ups. And as a member you can't sue yourself or something like that.
That being said, I don't mind paying full price as a passenger. Heck I spend more than that for a couple rounds of bowling, round of golf, or a decent dinner. Plus it helps keep my local riding spots open for a minimum contribution.
Edit: and with that being said, anyone have an open seat that is going down? My yota won't be back together but I'd like to tag along.
