For 18-year old Gunnar Buhr, dirt bike racing isn’t just a sport it is a way of life.  The Gaylord, Michigan native doesn’t recall a time when he didn’t feel comfortable atop the seat of a KTM.   Even though Buhr doesn’t remember life before dirt bike racing, he also can’t imagine a life without it.
