Butler Motorcycle Maps for all 9 Backcountry Discovery Routes. “On our recent project filming the California BDR Sou- th, I rode a KTM 1090 Adventure R set up just like this one. I feel it’s a fantastic motorcycle for off-road adven- tures like a BDR. I had so much fun on my KTM 1090… whoever wins this one is going to have a blast," explained Paul Guillien, President & Co-Founder, Backcountry Dis- covery Routes. The motorcycle, accessories, and maps in this prize pa- ckage were donated by the supporting companies so all money raised in this online drawing will directly benefit the Backcountry Discovery Routes. The non-profit will use the funds to continue to develop new routes, provi- de planning resources and GPS tracks for the community and work to preserve riding access to public lands and to promote safety for adventure motorcycling. Tom Moen, Marketing Manager, KTM North America says; “At KTM we are all about riding our motorcycles and supporting BDR for all they do to keep trails and remo- te roads open for motorcycling. We are thrilled to assist them where we can and encourage riders to get out and experience motorcycling in the backcountry. This KTM 1090 ADV R fundraiser will generate funds allowing the organization to create new routes and provide GPS tracks and trip planning resources that we can all use.” Go to www.WinKTM1090.com to enter to win. Ticket bundles are available starting at $25. A winner will be chosen on Friday, February 21st at 12 noon (PST).
