Delta Magazine
The (dirt) road less traveled
September 2007
Trans-Am Trail Ride Report By Mark H. Stowers

Part Lewis and Clark, with maybe a bit of Hernando DeSoto thrown in, and a pinch of the luck of the fictional forest Gump—and you've got Sam Correro. The 60-something-year-old Cleveland pharmacist has been spending his free time creating a coast-to-coast trail—for off-road motorcyclists.... READ MORE

Trail Rider Magazine
"Sambo's Tigers"
March 1995
Trans-Am Trail Ride Report By Sidney Dickson

"Dual Sport," what a stupid term. When did that happen? Was it way back in 1989 when some investor yuppie discovered he could actually ride his special "Paris Dakar Alpine Marco Polo Discoverer" (1000cc model) for four miles on a road not fourteen inches deep with reinforced concrete?

We've cut through mountains, crossed great rivers. Made maps readily available so everyone can find the safest and quickest course to his or her destination. Then along comes a guy like Sam Correro, a mild mannered pharmacist from Madison who says, "Thanks, but that's too easy. I think I'll make my own road." Which is what he has done... READ MORE

 

Trail Rider Magazine
"Monkey Butt Heaven"
Trans-Am Trail Ride Report January 1993

How do you feel about long trail rides? No, I mean long trail rides; like maybe 1400 miles worth and more on the way. Mississippi resident, Sam Correro certainly likes it, and he's got a roll chart to prove it. "I've got the roll chart saved on my word processor," he drawled over the phone to us, late last fall. "It must be several hundred yards long by now, I'm not really sure.... READ MORE
