AMA and MASA team up to offer life-saving benefit
The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) has announced its partnership with Medical Air Services Association (MASA) to provide emergency medical services at a reduced cost.

Most motorcyclists probably don't have tens of thousands of dollars lying around to pay for an emergency. What if you need an air ambulance flight to a hospital? Who would transport your motorcycle home after a crash? What if you are traveling outside the United States and need medical care that's not available locally?

READING, Pa., (Aug. 22, 2007) - Eddie Krawiec has never taken any acting classes. But that hasn't stopped him from feeling like he spent the last few days acting out a role that was perfected by Bill Murray in 1993 - Groundhog Day.

ESTOK WINS ASRA THUNDERBIKE NATIONAL AT BARBER PARK

LEEDS, Ala. (August 12, 2007) - Deeley H-D/Buell Canada/Ruthless Racing rider Dave Estok rode a Buell Firebolt XB12R to win the American Sportbike Racing Association (ASRA) Pro Thunderbike National at Barber Motorsports Park. Hal's H-D/Buell/Hal's Speed Shop rider Dan Bilansky finished third, also on a Buell XB12R.

Because of a tight weekend schedule, there was no qualifying session for ASRA National classes. Thunderbike riders were positioned for the start of the 10-lap race based on season points, which placed Estok on the pole and Bilansky beside him in second position. Estok jumped out to a quick lead at the start of the 10-lap national, but was soon engaged in a wheel-to-wheel battle with BMW rider Nate Kern. The pair raced in tight formation the entire distance, with Kern taking a brief lead on lap four, only to be immediately re-passed by Estok. At the finish, Estok prevailed by 1.164 seconds over Kern, followed by Bilansky.

INTERVIEW: Kyle Chisholm
Primarily racing in Canada last year, Floridian Kyle Chisholm also entered the Southwick and Glen Helen rounds of the 2006 AMA Toyota Motocross Championships Presented by FMF series where he finished a very impressive seventh at both events.  Catching the eye of several Lites teams, it only made sense that the long time Team Green rider would sign on with the Motosport Outlet Kawasaki team for 2007.  Suffering a serious heel injury early in supercross, Chisholm is now beginning to find his stride in AMA Motocross.  After several “getting up to speed” races, the 19 year old is a solid top ten rider.  What I like about Kyle’s riding is that he excels in the toughest situations.    Now with the recent news of Motosport Outlet Kawasaki folding for next season I had a chance to sit down with Kyle, who is just outside the top ten in points, to compare notes on 2007.
