Welcome to AMSA!

Have a look around AMSA and see what catches your interest.

Meeting Location (Recent Change!)

AMSA has adopted quarterly meetings and the meetings will now be held at our Family Day events. We hope you can join us and learn more about AMSA and the Family Day riding activities. We encourage you to SUBSCRIBE to our AMSA Alerts to receive e-mail notification to upcoming events and watch the AMSA discussion forum for club activities.

So What's New?

Start making your plans now!
We plan to have our next family ride day at Goertz Ranch in Rockne, Texas on Sunday June 28th.

The gate will open bright and early at 7 A.M.
You will not be allowed in the gate before 7 A.M. Sunday morning.
We will stop riding at 3 P.M. to clean up the trails.

Sorry, but there is no camping allowed Saturday night as this creates an insurance issue.
AMSA members may ride for $10 each.
Guests may ride for $20 each.
Pee Wee riders may ride the kids loop for $5 each (our discretion).
See the AMSA Discusion Form for current up to dat info.

Well folks the inevitable happened, late January. A nightmarish crash, luckily not on two wheels (as I typically do) but instead affecting our AMSA 411 Blog. The hard drive crashed on my laptop and that's where I have the blog data. This will undoubtedly cause some delay in updates in this area, so have patients. Enjoy what's there currently because I'm working on a completely new AMSA 411 Blog, but forewarning it's not finished.

Have you noticed February brought some software updates both to AMSA and the Texas Off-Road Forums. AMSA added a new Chat feature to the Home page. Look to the far left on the AMSA home page for a Chat tab. Click this and it will expand to reveal the (Java required) Chat panel where you can chat with others who are also online at the same time or leave a message. As for TON's forum upgrade… for the better or worse, there are many new features as well as security patches to the forums. Hopefully we'll all get over the learning curve easily and this will fit us like a new pair of boots.

Are you sporting a AMSA club T-shirt? David Wilson and myself have worked very hard to develop a design that's sure catch everyone's eye when sporting it about.

AMSA Web Cards are here! I'm jones-ing to add your photos so send them to me, no excuses now.

I'm always adding new Blog entries so RSS Subscribe or check for updates often. You know I'm beginning to believe AMSA may have the largest collection of on-line Moto-Games on the Web (prove me wrong). So be sure to share this news with the kido's.

I invite you to check out the "AMSA 411 Blog". I have linked four categories so far:

If you have an idea for other categories or have tips/games or other suggested resources please share them. New features include the ability to post comments. I've created this so when I do find a tip worth sharing I can, right here, (rather... AMSA's 411 Blog). Who knows this could prove to be a popular spot and I may have to setup a Moyer Blog, oro a Denmon Blog, and most certainly a Larry White Blog so we can hear the real grass-roots moto stories, Texas style.

AMSA Alert Subscription - You are encouraged to use the News Alert subscription form on this page (left side menu) to subscribe. AMSA News Alerts will be sent to subscribed members occasionally before special AMSA club activities (eg. like Family Day's). This service is intended to help remind members of AMSA club activities via e-mail. AMSA will not abuse this Mail List. AMSA will keep posting to a minimum and to the point. E-mail address's will be kept confidential and will not be sold or spammed. If you have not received a E-mail welcoming you to the AMSA Alert Mail List you are encouraged to use the subscription form to sign up.

AMSA Birthdays -- The AMSA Birthdays listing (to the left below) is alive. This feature allows members to add and display their Birth-date monthly.

I've notice a few Birthday shout-outs on the forums and thought this may be a welcome feature, I hope you agree and will add yours to the growing listing. You will have to Enter Your Birthday in order for it to be listed on AMSA Home page so that it will appear the month of your birth-date. I hope you use and enjoy the E-Cards links I've collected to surprise others with friendly goodwill wishes. As time permits, I hope to improve this feature so that Birthday messages are sent from AMSA automatically. FYI, there is a surprise resource link after you submit your birth-date you should check out. This resource is pretty cool. Here it is again (The Creative Anniversary Calculator) if you missed it when you submitted your birth-date. You can discover interesting info about your birth-date you wouldn't have otherwise known.

Support your local motorcycle shops that support your sport.

Visit the Sponsors Web sites and please mention gratitude from AMSA for there support.

Last but not least... please remember to give gratitude to the AMSA Officers who volunteers and help stitch this club into the community that it is.
Give these members a pat on the back and a cold one someday and let them know you appreciate the hard work they put in to your club.

Have A Question...?

Please visit the AMSA and other discussion forums to ask questions. Fellow officers and members can answer most questions.

Ride safe and enjoy!

AMSA Photos of the Month

Changing ways... We're doing away with Pictures of the Month. Now we're simply randomly loading a photo each time this page is loaded.
If you are a AMSA member and would like your photo to randomly display here please send me your photo. Due to the layout there are a few necessary requirements that should be met. First the image should be between 500 and 700 pixels wide. The height is less important but optimum height is 378 pixels tall.

E-mail you photo's to macdillon@sbcglobal.net for inclusion in AMSA's random photo display (eg. photo at the top of this page).
