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:

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.

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.
