Today's MOTORCYCLIST gives its reader more comparison tests, more useful, detailed how-Io-do-it articles, more competition coverage, and more probing features than any other motorcycle publication. Now we'd like to introduce DIRT RIDER, America's newest motorcycle magaZine. It's the first publication for all American dirt riders, not just the competition enthusiasts. Sure, DIRT RIDER offers in-depth competition coverage, but it also provides the off-road enthusiast with monthly features on regional trail rides, a how-to-do-it column, regular interviews with movers and shakers, a column on training, and a unique testing' procedl,lre for competition machines, playbikes, and dual-purpose motorcycles. The DIRT RIDER test procedure goes beyond the seat-of-the-pants riding impressions used by other dirt-bike books. It backs up and enlarges upon its testers' findings by actually measuring and dyno-testing suspension action and reporting the results in the industry's most comprehensive spec chart-which also includes an engine dyno chart and a thorough look at parts prices. And there's one more good thing: low subscription prices ) Ronda rider Mike Bell won the 125cc 'Intermediate class of a CMC night " motocross at Ascot Park, finishing head of Penton rider Kevin Crawford and Honda pilot Louis Morrison. or:l 00 ;==._. , ••••••• •••••••• OFFERS •••••• asCRIPTION ......• I , SPERCNIAE~ S:UBSCRIBERS ~:~~!scriPtion Sales. 7B II FO br h'ng Company. .
