Wow, I was shocked when the latest issue of AMA's motorcycle magazine (American Motorcyclist) arrived in my mailbox this week.
The AMA lobby's on behalf of motorcycle riders in the USA BUT a lot of this lobbying has to do with retaining the rights of motorcyclists to use federal lands for dirt bikes and most bikes in their magazine are normally always dirt, sport, touring bikes, never Harley.
Of course they do other things, like address the issue of ethanol in gasoline, auto sensor traffic lights that dont work with motorcycles ect.
Well, well, well, I dont know about others in here but I always cheer for American companies and I always will, I love my country.
They took a Harley Pan American for the AMA Alps Challenge Tour which went from Munich through Austria, Italy and Switzerland. Wow what a comment from the writer/rider! More to come in future issue this was a one page story.
I quote"... I was able to ride this thing seriously hard, the Pan Am's monster motor, great brakes and amazingly high level of chassis feedback made that more enjoyable than I would ever have imagined. Big adventure bikes might look cumbersome and unwieldy, but they are way more fun and capable in this environment that most folks know, and the Pan Am has gotta be ranked right at the top of the list here."
BTW, when you join the AMA with auto renew every year, you get free roadside assistance and magazine and your supporting all kinds of
motorcycle riding rights and motorcycle issues in the USA.
