THE PRESIDENT
CHAMPIONS AMONG US
Honoring AMA Racers
As this issue was being put to bed, we had the honor of welcoming many of America’s most successful amateur racers to the 2013 AMA Championship Banquet. The annual gala event is where we celebrate the seasons of those who excelled in AMA-sanctioned motorcycle and all-terrain vehicle competition the previous year. On Jan. 18, riders from all disciplines sanctioned by the AMA came to Columbus, Ohio, to receive their AMA national No. 1 plates and championship medals.
The AMA Championship Banquet is more than a celebration of speed, endurance and skill. The best competitors stand at the top of the podium because they posses both superior athletic ability as well as humility, dedication and desire to be the best.
This is what makes participating in AMA racing events so signifi cant. The AMA represents the gold standard of amateur motorcycle competition in America. Racing in an AMAsanctioned event means the rules are fair, the rules are the same no matter where you go, you compete with others who are at your skill level, you have opportunities to advance, and every eff ort is made to ensure a safe racing environment.
Of course, this wasn’t built overnight. Our current racers, and the hundreds of thousands of AMA racers who came before them, are the reason that AMA amateur racing has achieved the status it enjoys today. Since 1924, racers of all backgrounds and skill levels have competed in AMA-sanctioned events and have contributed to the collective wisdom that has shaped our sport.
One way those contributions manifest themselves is in AMA Congress. AMA Congress is the elected body that writes the rules in the AMA Amateur Competition Rulebook. They ensure that the rules put in place are consistent, fair and logical across all disciplines.
Another powerful quality of AMA-sanctioned competition was also on full display at the AMA Championship Banquet. The event isn’t just about competitive success. It’s also a celebration of family, good sportsmanship, mutual respect and responsibility.
It’s that last characteristic, responsibility, that is growing ever more important in our sport. We have seen over the decades, and we continue to see today, that if we aren’t responsible, then we fi nd our favorite pastime at risk. In fact, if the AMA did not exist—or have the enduring support of many of our members—I truly doubt motorcycle racing in America would be possible.
The importance of that responsibility is refl ected right there in our slogan: Rights, Riding and Racing.
Of these three, Rights is the most important thing that we do. If we do not fi ght for our right to ride and race motorcycles, that freedom will go away. There are many people and organizations that want to shut down your local racetrack. They want to stop
you and your family from riding on trails in our national forests. Some even want to stop you from riding on your own property.
Some people don’t understand that our sport is a family sport—that it is made up of moms, dads, brothers and sisters enjoying clean, safe fun. Others just think they know what’s best for you and want to tell you what you can and cannot do. Others argue that motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles damage the environment.
Of course, we know that responsibly ridden off -highway vehicles cause no measurable environmental damage and represent a legitimate and viable way to enjoy, explore and travel across our public lands.
This is why one of the best ways we can protect our sport is to always ride and race responsibly, as well as encourage others to do the same.
Our champions would not be where they are—accepting their AMA No. 1 plates in front of hundreds of their peers—if they did not carry themselves responsibly. They do that every time they prepare themselves and their bike for practice or competition. They do that by respecting and following the rules in the AMA Amateur Competition Rulebook.
Even when they are not racing, true champions approach motorcycling in the same way. They are responsible when they ride recreationally, as well as when they are off a bike. The more non-motorcyclists we can win over, the more of them will be on our side when those who hate motorcycles try to take our freedoms away.
As an AMA member, you never ride or race alone. There are hundreds of thousands of AMA members who have your back. They love riding as much as you do. They are committed to improving the sport for today, and saving it for the enjoyment of future generations. Along with all of them, you protect your freedom to ride and race simply by being an AMA member.
Thank you for your support.
Rob Dingman is the president and CEO of the AMA.

girls got from riding, I realized just how beneficial it could be.”
Susan says that GiGi (also known as Georgia Hankins) was pretty nervous when she first tried riding. For Susan, that apprehension was a familiar feeling.
“What was fun for me is I had never ridden either, so I learned to ride with these kids,” Susan says.
Everyone has gotten over the first-ride jitters pretty quickly, though. That’s when the fun really begins.
“A feeling of accomplishment sets in,” Susan says. “For the kids, and me too, it was a feeling like, ‘I can’t believe I’m actually doing this!’”
It wasn’t long before the Bouchillons started welcoming more young riders into the mix. They recruited a lot of new dirt bikers at Grace’s ballet class.
“The parents would bring the girls over to ride, and the neighborhood would come out and watch because it’s not common to see six or eight girls riding around with their pony tails sticking out under their helmets,” Neil says. “For some of the boys in the neighborhood, it was something to see because these are feminine girls. They are the ballet types, which I think actually complemented their ability to ride because of the coordination and flexibility they’ve developed.”
By this point, there was no turning back. Other kids, including friends of Jesse, joined the fun, learning to ride dirt bikes responsibly under the watchful eyes of Neil, Susan and the kids’ parents. Neil says that over the past five years they’ve probably taught “about 50” kids how to ride, and have taken several of them on day trips to nearby public riding areas.
“The first time that we ventured out of our yard and to some real trails was really exciting,” Susan says. “It was at Hanging Rock [part of the Wayne National Forest trail system] in Southern Ohio. We now go there pretty regularly, and it’s one of our favorite places to ride.”
Bene ts
Susan says that all of the kids, regardless of background, benefit from the emotional lift and self-confidence provided by riding dirt bikes.
“For these kids, to say, ‘I actually rode a dirt bike,’ is a big boost,” she says.
Susan says that the kids helped make a scrapbook for Neil to thank him for giving them the opportunity to learn to ride. One girl, Kelly, who Susan describes as “very academically smart,” wrote an especially touching letter that addressed how riding filled an athletic void that otherwise existed in her life.
“All the kids feel like they’re a part of the group when they’re here,” Susan says. “We don’t leave out anybody.”
Susan says that positive attitude is a

Tools For The Job
To be a dirt bike rider, you need, among other things, a dirt bike. These models represent different sizes of beginner-friendly options.
If your son or daughter shows the interest and skill for a more a more aggressive or specialized machine, competition-oriented minibikes are available from these manufacturers and others (such as Cobra in motocross, Sherco in trials and KTM in motocross and off-road).
BEGINNERS ONLY
Yamaha’s two-stroke PW50 has been starting motorcycling careers for more than three decades. It’s easy to ride, easy to work on, reliable as a claw hammer and offers the right performance for young riders. It has a throttle limiter, oil injection (no mixing fuel) one speed and an automatic clutch. It’s also relatively inexpensive, going for $1,440.*
Other models: KTM’s 50 Mini is comparable in size, but offers liquid cooling, disc brakes, updated suspension and a more contemporary design. Modern looks and performance come at a price, however. Its MSRP is $3,299.
Although it is no longer listed as a current model on Suzuki’s website, the JR50 is Suzuki’s answer to the PW50. Used ones are readily available.
*Prices are the most current model MSRP reported on the manufacturers’ websites at presstime. Additional destination, setup and registration charges may apply.
UPSIZE ME
The size is larger, but the idea is the same. The $3,640 Honda CRF150F is intended to give larger riders a safe, predictable, reliable and capable off-roading experience. It has electric start and, like all of Honda’s off-highway bikes, meets California Air Resources Board and EPA off-road emissions standards. Note that a similarly named model, the CRF150R is a highperformance, closed-course motocross race bike and is not designed for a beginner.
CLUTCH PERFORMER
TIME TO SHIFT
The $1,399 Honda CRF50F (and its various permutations) has been the go-to four-stroke beginner bike since 1968. It oozes fun, simplicity, and the broad power delivery of the proven four-stroke engine is versatile enough to put a smile on the faces of kids young and old. Equipped with a three-speed transmission, it has an automatic clutch, ideal for beginners. Other models: Although technically replaced by the CRF110 in 2013, the CRF70 is a slightly larger, slightly more powerful version of the CRF50.
MORE POWER
Kawasaki’s $2,299 KLX110 owns the sweet spot of easy-to-ride and performance, with enough power to keep kids coming back for years. It’s also worth noting that while no selfrespecting parent would thrash their kid’s minibike around a motocross
Suzuki DR-Z125 ($3,099) offers smooth performance, a five-speed transmission, ground clearance to get over trail obstacles and a manual clutch. For $100 more, you get the DR-Z125L, which comes with a disc front brake and 2-inch larger diameter wheels in the front and rear.
Other models: Honda’s CRF80F, CRF100F and CRF125F; Yamaha’s TTR125 and TTR125L; and Kawasaki’s KLX140 and KLX140L all feature a manual clutch and similar styling.
track, this bike size is popular among the pit-bike racing crowd.
Other models: Honda’s CRF110F and Yamaha’s TTR110 are comparable to the KLX110 in many ways but brand and graphics. Pick your favorite color and ride.
big part of the success of their loosely organized riding club, which the kids refer to as “the Bouchillon Mud Bugs.”
“It’s not about making these kids into the world’s best off-road racers,” she says. “It’s about realizing the positive benefits of accomplishment. We do have some who race hare scrambles, but we have some kids who are reluctant to go up hills or down hills. It’s about spending time with them to help them overcome their fears.”
Susan refers to their group as a “real social network” and is proud that it includes kids from all economic backgrounds and across social circles.
“Gunner [Short, 15], who rides with us, is on the local basketball team, and they are phenomenal players,” she says. “He rides with the younger kids and is so accepting of them and helpful regardless of whether they are athletes or not.”
Family Affair
Neil says that he’s inspired by memories of dirt bikes breaking social barriers among his friends when he was young.
“I started riding in 1973 on a Honda QA 50,” Neil says. “We’d go to the De Soto National Forest in Mississippi and ride. Everybody in the neighborhood had dirt bikes. We rode together. We ate together. We had fun get-togethers. But that died down. I don’t know if it was the price of gas or whatever, but everybody in our area just got out of doing it.”
Neil’s family remembers those good times on the trails fondly.
“Many years later, I was having dinner
with my dad and he said to me that the closest we ever were as a family was when we were riding dirt bikes together,” Neil says. “He recognized the importance of riding together, not just to our relationship, but in strengthening the community.”
Although Neil never quit riding himself (he currently has a KTM 200 XCW and competes in Southern Ohio hare scrambles), the benefits of recreational trail riding were just a memory until Grace and her friends started riding.
“The parents come over and watch, and in many ways it’s like it was when I was a kid,” Neil says. “The kids are outside and playing. They’re getting exercise. They’re making decisions. They’re having experiences. Then, one thing we always do whether we’re at our house or at a trail, is we sit down and eat together. All the other parents say that this is some of the best quality time they have with their kids, and these are parents who otherwise might not be involved in dirt biking.”
Neil admits that he can’t do it alone. In addition to Susan, who he calls their “lead social coordinator,” and the kids, who help wash the bikes and gear, his friends Tim Shephard, Greg Shephard and Ron Mallory help maintain the bikes. In addition to East End Cycle (“Susan and I got engaged in that shop,” Neil shares), Huntington’s Cycle Center and Lancaster Sport Cycle in Lancaster, Ohio, support Neil and Susan’s efforts to introduce new riders to the sport.
“Our neighbors Mr. and Mrs. Chapman are also very generous with their property,” Susan adds. “Mr. Chapman really enjoys sitting on his front porch and just watching the kids ride, and if we ever miss a
weekend, they call and ask when we’ll be riding again. They are wonderful people.”
Responsibility
Neil is an attorney. Susan is an insurance claims adjuster. They understand risk and take a careful approach to any riding that happens on their watch.
“Everybody understands where the dangers are,” Neil says. “We show them where to ride. Everybody rides in the same direction. There are ground rules. It’s obviously non-negotiable that everyone wears safety gear and that parents are involved. We don’t do double or triple jumps. There’s a time and a place for more aggressive riding, and it’s not in the backyard. It’s at the racetrack.”
In addition to safety, Neil says they teach the kids to respect the rights of others.
“We live in a neighborhood, so we’re very conscious about noise,” he says. “I have FMF Q2 silencers on all of the two strokes, and I keep the packing in the fourstroke exhausts fresh. We don’t ride during church hours, and we don’t ride late at night, and if I see that we’re creating too much dust, we quit riding for the evening.”
Both Neil and Susan feel that any risk concerns are properly managed and that the kids have just as much fun as they would in a less safe environment. The most important thing, Susan says, isn’t the risk of riding. It’s the benefits that come with it.
“I never had anything to do with dirt bike riding before I met Neil,” Susan says. “Now I can’t imagine living without it.”
