Dirt bike demos offered by Yamaha
Published 12:00 am Wednesday, April 22, 2015
Free dirt bike demos will be offered Friday and Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, southeast of Bend off U.S. Highway 20.
Yamaha has teamed with six-time AMA Hare Scrambles champion Jason Raines to present the Yamaha Demo Program.
A special course will be laid out specifically for the program, and riders will be able to ride several models.
Mandatory protective gear includes helmet, boots, pants, long-sleeved shirt and gloves. Gear is available to use if needed on a first come-first served basis.
The event — sponsored by Pro Caliber and designed for all skill levels, including first-timers — is being staged in conjunction with the Lobos China Hat International Six Days Enduro qualifier race.
To find the demo event, take Highway 20 east of Bend for about 20 miles. After crossing the Horse Ridge Summit, turn right on the second road, Spencer Well Road (paved Road 23). Proceed south for 5.5 miles until the road forks. Take the paved Road 25 to the right and follow the signs to the staging area.
