Head Out On a New Adventure

Adventure-touring riders get own series

The AMA has launched a new riding series for adventure-touring bikes that features not only a great blend of asphalt and dirt roads, but also the chance to win a new Suzuki V-Strom.

Called the AMA Suzuki National Adventure Riding Series, this new program boasts 10 national multi-day events with routes suitable for larger dual-sport machines. And all participating riders will be entered in a year-end drawing to win a brand-new Suzuki V-Strom as well as other prizes.

“Whatever you call ‘adventure,’ we’ve got it covered in the new series,” says Joey Funtjar, AMA road-riding coordinator. “Some of the events are asphalt and dirt roads, while in others, you’d better spoon on some knobbies to tackle the sand and water crossings.”

The series kicks off with a two-day charity ride June 9-10. The Wisconsin Dual Sport Riders will host the inaugural event in Wabeno, Wisconsin, as part of its annual dual-sport ride to raise money for breast and colon cancer research at the University of Wisconsin Comprehensive Cancer Center.

“We have a loop in the 250-mile range,” says John Newton of the Wisconsin Dual Sport Riders. “There’s some gravel, Forest Service roads and blacktop.

“Riders will go through four or five counties, and past county parks that have waterfalls,” he says.

You’ll find the AMA Suzuki National Adventure Riding Series ad on page 95 *. It tells you what terrain to expect in each event. (or reference online: http://www.amadirectlink.com/news/2007/NARS.asp )

For more info, contact Funtjar at (614) 856-1900, ext. 1336; or by e-mail at jfuntjar@ama-cycle.org.

Is this a test? It's 1130PM and I'm wanting to run to my local news stand to grab the latest issue just to see what's on page 95.

I don't know about page 95 but I think a November dual sport ride in New Jersey could be a little more "adventuress" than some are looking for.
