Trail
Riding/Dual Sport
Trail riding provides an excellent opportunity to become familiar
with a motorcycle on a one-to-one basis. However, before heading
for the trails a few very important points should be considered.
• Always wear a helmet and eye protection.
• Always ride with a muffler and spark arrestor and always
ride slowly in unfamiliar areas; there could be a cliff just
over the next rise or a logging truck around the next curve.
• Ride only in approved areas where you have permission
to ride. Landowners have been known to stretch wire or chains
across private roads to keep trespassers out.
The AMA offers trail-riding and dual-sport events that are enjoyable
scenic tours and non-competitive in nature. Sanctioned events
of this type are indicated in the monthly American Motorcyclist
listings.
The AMA Government Relations Department is very active in keeping
off-road riding areas open to trail riders, and your AMA membership
is important to maintaining this effort on your behalf.
