LORETTA LYNN’S: TITLES BY BRAND | | BY DAVEY COOMBST
he Rocky Mountain ATV/MC AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship at Loretta Lynn Ranch is something of a melting pot for American motocross, as fast riders from all around the country gather to compete for the nation’s top amateur honors. It’s also a chance for motorcycle manufacturers to take stock of their market share and respective rider-support programs. This time around, seven different OEMs got to celebrate titles—some more often than they expected, others . . . not so much.
