"We are very proud of our 2010 Contingency program," said Keith Dowdle, Assistant Manager of Honda Riders Club of America. "Our contingency program pays for 2008 and newer models. This economy is tough, and some may not be able to buy a new bike, even though we'd like you to. So if you're riding red, we'll support you."

Honda will award the XC1 Pro and XC2Pro Lites first place winner $150, followed by $125 for second, and $75 for third.
