The California OHV community needs to write letters to Governor Brown and thank him for vetoing $14 million of the $21 million dollar take, and also thanks for investigating the State Parks budget debacle.

In the Baja world, Johnny Campbell is a legend. And he is no slouch at Rally racing either, with a Nevada Rally win to his credit and a top-ten in his first and only Dakar attempt back on the Dark Continent in 2001. Now having transitioned over to a team owner operator of JCR Honda [...]

So immediately after our TE300 Husaberg test concluded there was a line of riders waiting to get a spin on it. And since I’m nice to my friends, I obliged by sending the TE300 out with one of them so the interested parties could take a spin on our test bike. Result, three bikes sold [...]
