2017 AMA National Adventure Riding Series Schedule Released
Series features 20 events dispersed throughout United States
PICKERINGTON, Ohio — The AMA National Adventure Riding Series provides American Motorcyclist Association members the chance to put their larger-cc machines to the test throughout the United States in 2017.
“The AMA National Adventure Riding Series was developed in 2007 due to the growing interest in larger, adventure-style motorcycles,” said AMA Recreational Riding and Volunteer Manager Marie Wuelleh. “Many dual sport trails are not conducive to bigger machines, and clubs and promoters have developed trails specifically to meet the needs of these riders.”
