2017 Beta AMA National Dual Sport Series Schedule Announced Nineteen Events to Take Place Across the Country
PICKERINGTON, Ohio — Thousands of AMA members search for new trails to ride and sights to see on their dirt bikes each year. The AMA National Dual Sport Series, sponsored by Beta for the third consecutive year, boasts 19 two-day events for 2017.
“The AMA National Dual Sport Series traces its roots back to 1987 and has been providing an avenue for some of the country’s top dual sports to be featured at the national level,” said AMA Recreational Riding and Volunteer Manager Marie Wuelleh. “AMA-chartered clubs and promoters organize thousands of miles of trail for AMA members to enjoy on their dual-sport machines every year. The noncompetitive events often include meals, a t-shirt, after-ride activities, camping, camaraderie and more. Be sure to mark an event, or several, on your calendar for this year.”
The AMA oversees the series, which provides great riding trails and features additional perks for participants. Every rider will be entered to win a Beta motorcycle in a year-end sweepstakes.
“Beta is proud to be the title sponsor of the AMA Dual Sport Series,” said Beta Marketing Manager Tim Pilg. “We see the importance of being a part of the series as it has grown over the past few years. We have been working hard developing our RR-S models, and it has been nice to see more and more Beta riders signed up every year.”
Supporting sponsors of the series include ADVMoto, Seat Concepts, Sena and Sidi.
