23 December 2000
AMA/Suzuki Dual Sport Series 2001 schedule set, '00 winners named PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- Dual-sport riding may be its own reward, but a chance to win a brand new Suzuki motorcycle and other valuable off-road riding accessories and apparel isn't a bad prospect, either. Last year, more than 2,700 off-road riding enthusiasts enjoyed the outdoors and were entered to win prizes in the 2000 American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) Suzuki National Dual Sport Trail Ride Series. And while 41 lucky series participants were randomly selected as winners, none was luckier than Buddy Norton Sr. of McDonald, Pa., who won the grand prize 2000 Suzuki DR Z400S dual-sport motorcycle valued at $5,449 from Title Sponsor American Suzuki Motor Corp. Each year, series participants are entered into a year-end drawing for thousands of dollars worth of prizes, including $500 of clothing from Associate Sponsor Moose Racing and prizes from AXO, Chatter Box, Clarke Manufacturing, Cycra, Fox Racing, Kenda Tire, Motowear International, MSR, PJ1 Lubricants, Progressive Suspension and Shift.
