Post by guymanbro » Fri Jun 25, 2010 1:43 pm

Just thought I'd share with my closest friends. I just won the AMA's contest to be a moto-journalist for a day. They're gonna send me to the Yamaha Champions Riding School and I get to write an article about the experience and do a web video about it too. WOOOHOOO! I'm a winner! Here's a link to the video portion of my entry which helped me win: http://s628.photobucket.com/albums/uu6/guymanbro/AMA%20moto-journalist%20for%20a%20day%20contest/?action=view¤t=TumuRockmoto-journalist.flv> Too bad I can't ride my KLR at the Yamaha school.

Not sure what is at this school, but do you get to ride a YZ 450F ? If so... leave some drool on the tank for me too ok. Dooden A15 Green Ape

Nope. It's a road racing school. I basically told them in my entry that I've spent 99% of my ten+ years of riding on dual sport machines but dirt riding is supposed to be a good background for road racing. And they bought it! The school bikes are R6s and FZ1s. We'll see how it goes. da Vermonster
