Murrieta, CA (5/1/2009)
- 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
