U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) has introduced language that would exempt youth off-highway vehicles (OHVs) from the lead law that effectively bans the sale of these machines at the end of the year, the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) reports. Senate Amendment 264, co-sponsored by Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.), would exempt youth OHVs from the lead-content [...]
Yesterday, the AMA announced that it had decided to penalize Josh Herrin for the final lap crash at the Daytona 200. The AMA said that Herrin caused the crash between Taylor Knapp and Dane Westby.

The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) continues its ongoing fight to change a misguided law that will effectively ban the sale of kids’ dirtbikes and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) at the end of the year. The Kids Just Want to Ride! video contest will empower those most impacted by the law by helping them tell Congress just [...]
Attendance for this year’s Daytona 200, like every year, was crap. I might have been able to start a flag football team with the amount people in the stands. This is one place where the AMA bites it hard. They should try and get off the self righteous AMA bandwagon and make the races about [...]
At the end of the Daytona 200, Dane Westby and Taylor Knapp took a nasty spill. The AMA said after the race that certain riders would be penalized for the crash, but they wanted to take time to review the tape to make sure they made the right call. The AMA has just announced that [...]

The 57 lap race was red flagged on lap 27 when Danny Eslick bit it at Nascar [...]
