KTM Austria informed us that there is a change in the status of the triple clamp recall. It is an unfortunate situation but KTM takes their customers safety very seriously. The initial recall procedure was developed based on all the evidence available to the factory at the time of the announcement. Being a safety related defect and to avoid possible injury to the KTM owner the factory did not have the luxury to wait to gather further evidence before acting and inspecting.

The AMTRA SA Pyrenees ride this year was conducted with the help of the Green Triangle Enduro Club http://www.gtenduro.com.au/ , which has a property near Moonanbel, North West of Ballarat.
We chose to make this a family camping trip, and loaded up the bikes, the kids and the camping gear and set off towards western victoria on the Thursday afternoon. Stopping for some KFC for tea, then journeying onwards, we managed to drive to Nhill and stopped there for the night to rest.

Hello to all,
I can only say how sorry I am to announce that the proposed Australian Supermotard Series 2003 will not be going ahead as planned this season.
Due to my personal circumstances I have been unable to continue promoting the series alone, whilst my other business interests continue. It was my intention to try to run the series through another promoter but this has come to zero
and although the entries are out for the first round on the Internet, many competitors have not received them and it would be unfair to continue.

Australia's International Six Day Enduro Team will compete in the event
later this month without seasoned rider Shane Watts, who has withdrawn due
to injury.
The team's reserve rider, Craig Douglas from Kulnara in New South Wales,
