SUSTAINABLE OFF-ROAD RECREATION
F
or the second consecutive
year, Beta USA is partnering
with Quiet Warrior Racing (QWR)
and its Sound Trails Initiative
(STI) to support environmentally
responsible off-road recreational
opportunities on public lands.
STI is focused on federal land
OHV travel management plan-
ning efforts to enhance existing
off-road motorcycle trail networks
or to designate additional motor-
ized roads, trails and areas. The
STI also includes trail
stewardship projects,
trail-ethic education,
and ongoing efforts
to streamline the rec-
reation event permit
process.
Tim Pilg, President,
Beta USA, said, "I am
proud of our support
for QWR's efforts to champion
responsible off-road motorcycle
use on designated trails. Keeping
trails open for both casual riding
and competition is a full-time job
and we are glad to have Don on
our trail access team."
Don Amador, President, Quiet
Warrior Racing, states, "It's an
honor to have the support of Beta
USA in 2019. I look forward to
riding the 300 X Trainer to review
single-track trail motorcycle and
other OHV opportunities on
public lands. What a great way to
kick-off a single-track trail revival
for current and future generations
of off-road motorcycle enthusi-
asts." CN
QWR's Don Amador
welcomes Beta's support
in the fight to keep off-
trails open.
