May is PROTECT YOUR RIGHT TO RIDE month (with prizes)

 
KTM & FMF Declare May as Protect Your Right to Ride Month

Murrieta, CA – KTM North America, and FMF Racing have partnered
together along with support from the AMA, Blue Ribbon Coalition
(BRC), NOHVCC and ORBA to declare the month of May as Protect Your
Right to Ride month.

"In these tough economic times we feel it is essential to take
time to inform motorcycle enthusiasts on how they can become
involved in the motorcycle organizations that are protecting their
right to ride. The last thing we can afford to lose is our riding
areas," commented KTM President Jon-Erik Burleson.

There is power in numbers and now is the time for motorcyclists to
join forces to ensure that everyone has a place to enjoy the sport
of motorcycling. There are many open riding areas across the
country that are facing land use and noise emission regulations
which could threaten or potentially close the area from motorcycle
related recreation activities.

During the month of May, visit a KTM dealer to find out
information about what you can do to protect your right to ride.
Each KTM dealer will supply materials provided by the motorcyclist
activist clubs and organizations that have been fighting for your
rights all along. When you visit your KTM dealer and show your
AMA, BRC and/or ORBA membership card or choose to sign up for a
membership at the dealership you will receive an entry toward a
chance to win a brand new KTM 250 XC-FW with an FMF Q4 Titanium
exhaust system. Participants will receive one entry for each of
the organizations to which they belong.

KTM North America is an avid supporter of the AMA, BRC, NOHVCC and
ORBA and has taken an active role along with FMF to help these
organizations reach a larger part of the motorcycle community
through the implementation of Protect Your Right to Ride Month.
Please take time to stop by your KTM dealer in May and learn what
you can do to become an active member of the motorcycle community
and protect your right to ride. For more information visit
www.soundoffmc.com, a new website designed to provide the latest
information about protecting motorized off-road recreation.

 

The thought of a free bike finally spurred me to action...I stopped in
the local KTM dealer on the way home from work today, shiny AMA card
(new and improved, now includes free towing!!!) in hand.

Only a few days left in May...time to get on it.



They had NO idea what I was talking about. The parts girl was nice 'n
all, but said they had nothing from KTM about a drawing. Then a sales
droid deftly offered to sell me a KTM, but as soon as I tried to
'splain the quoted paragraph above his eyes rolled back and he left me
to go back to the laptop he was using at his desk.

The gm was on the phone, I waited awhile and peeked at the bikes. The
250 2-stroke with the magic button kinda attracted me.

Eventually the parts girl came over and said she had found the info on
KTM's website, but they had nothing for me to enter with, and that I
was the first person who'd ever asked about it.

Oh well.

There was a tempting used '07 Husky 610 supermoto that cought my eye
on the way out...

I'd guess that that reflects more on the dealer than the
distributor, but, dang.

What's in your future, the 610 or the e-start 250?

 
Oooh, Charles...

We could be matching hooligans!

No more loading up the bike and trundling off to an enduro, ya know;
Fire it up, pull out of the driveway and the cityscape is your
playground!


^^^^ looks good, eh?
