Great Speakers & Vendors

This year we are pleased to welcome Helge Pedersen from Globe Riders International as a featured speaker.  He will present a Multimedia Show that he calls “40 Years on 2 wheels”. Stories from riding his BMW GS bikes to more than 100 countries and a million miles. Plus we just booked Chad Warner to talk about his epic BDR Ride last year!

We are building a great line up of presentations on other topics including motorcycle maintenance, trip planning and of course the latest and best gear.  We will update the website as speakers are confirmed.

Skills and Competitions

Build foundational road riding skills with our Asphalt Skills course.  The focus is on basic skills so this is not a competition.  

Show off your technical skills (or not) by negotiating the English Trials course.  This event tests riders' skill and balance as they navigate a super-slow course in the shortest time with the fewest foot dabs.  Prizes for the quickest time and biggest crashes.  There is always at least one clown riding backwards.  A crowd favorite.

Or step it up to the big boy league by conquering Dennis Godwin's GS Challenge course.  This one requires some serious bike control in precarious situations.  If you are not up to riding the course you must come watch the action!

 

BMW Norcal is proud to offer our participants an outstanding training experience with Rawhyde.  Rawhyde is bringing their A game to the rally to help you become the best rider you can.  Rawhyde will be offering a beginner and intermediate session each day followed by a guided off road adventure to put your new skills to good use.
