Cypress, CA – August 23, 2006 — Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA recently made a significant product donation to assist in the promotion of ATV and Side-by-Side (SxS) land access rights and education.  A champion for responsible riding and land access rights across the country, Yamaha provided three new 2006 Rhino SxS vehicles to the Wisconsin ATV Association, Inc. (WATVA) and the Wisconsin Powersports Dealers Association (WPDA); both managed by the National Off-Highway Vehicles Insurance & Services Group, Inc. (NOHVIS); all based in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.

The three donated vehicles include a 2006 Rhino 660 4×4 and two 2006 Rhino 450 4x4s.  WATVA plans to use two of the units in its fundraising efforts, allowing them to promote a positive image of ATV and SxS riders through safety, education and responsible use.  The third, a Rhino 450 4×4, will be used by WATVA to support its various events and help educate enthusiasts across the state on the benefits of safe and responsible riding.
