Dozens of adventure motorcyclists converged on the AMA campus recently for the inaugural AMA Adventure X Time Trials, a new combination of the adventure discipline with a time-trial format.

Three classes tackled the muddy single-track trail, short grasstrack section and pit-bike course. There was Lightweight for any single-cylinder motorcycle, Middleweight for multi-cylinder bikes less than 1000cc and Heavyweight for multi-cylinder bikes 1000cc and larger. Bikes had to be factory street-legal machines.
The AMA partnered with Rob Buydos, long-time motocross and AMA Supercross announcer and promoter of the Bagger Racing League, for this event, the proceeds of which financially support the American Motorcycle Heritage Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Buydos began developing concepts for adventure-bike competition several years ago. More recently, he started working with the AMA to develop an amateur format that would be fun and accessible for a wide range of adventure riders. CN
