  We have arranged a special discount for Club members to attend a training program to improve your cornering skills. The event will be on December 1st (DAY 2) at the Stockton Little 99 Raceway.

  Correct cornering technique is critical for safety and makes riding twisties effortless. Even riders with many years of experience can benefit from this program. Any motorcycle/rider that needs to go around corners is welcome including GSs with knobbies.

  The course is offered by Superbike Coach and is run on the Stockton Little 99 kart track – the perfect venue to work on skills at a pace that is not intimidating. Superbike Coach will give Club members a 20% discount off the regular price of $199 per class. This class should also qualify for a $50 rebate from the BMW MOA Foundation (see link below) which reduces the total cost to $100. Bargain!

  The full course is 3 days, but you will benefit even if you only attend the first day (Cornering Class Day 1) on November 17th. The discount code is good for all 3 Cornering Classes if you take them in sequence.

  To read about the program and register for the event, go to: https://www.superbike-coach.com/ . The discount is only offered to currently paid up Club members. You will need to enter your Club membership number when you register for the event. For Club members only, the discount code is: bmw_norcal. Non-members can register for the class but are not eligible for the discount.

  To claim a rebate from the MOA Foundation, go here: MOA Foundation Paul B Rebate

  If you plan to attend this course, please complete the registration procedure on the Superbike Coach website (above) and then also let us know you will attend by registering on the BMW NorCal website (click the "Register" button with this email).  That way we will know how many people are going.  Registering on the Club website does NOT get you into the program!

  Our December meeting and campout will be held at Salt Point State Park in Sonoma County.

  Salt Point State Park covers 6,000 acres on the coast of Northern California, with 20 miles of hiking trails and over 6 miles of a rough rocky coastline including Salt Point which protrudes into the Pacific Ocean. The park also features the first underwater preserves in California. The constant impact of the waves forms the rocks into many different shapes. These rocks continue underwater providing a wide variety of habitats for marine organisms.

  We will be camping in winter coastal conditions so the weather will be cool and there will be overnight fog.  Dress accordingly!

  The ride meetup location and navigation files will be provided after registration.  Start location will be in Napa.

  Must be registered to attend the campout.

  It's hard to believe but the Holiday Season is just around the corner and that means another great BMW NorCal Holiday Party!  Many thanks to Puck & Anita for hosting us.  The Club is covering more than half the cost for members.    Meet as early as 5:30 for drinks and chit chat, and dinner at 6:30. 

  This year's menu will be buffet style with rib-eye steak, salmon, chicken, bbq lam ribs, Pumpkin Tofu Curry and dessert.  There is a vegetarian option. 

  And don't forget to bring a White Elephant gift! Some go goofy, some go practical - and while we say to try to keep the cost to about $25, folks just do whatever they want. It's always a blast!

  Note that since this is limited to members and your guests, you have to login with your member account to see the registration site and register. 

  See you there!

  Our January, 2025 meeting and campout will be held at Sugarloaf Ridge State Park near Kenwood.

  Registration will open approximately 30 days before the event. The ride meetup location and navigation files will be provided after registration.

  Sugarloaf Ridge State Park contains the headwaters of Sonoma Creek. It runs through gorge and canyon, across the meadow floor, beneath scenic rock outcroppings, and is surrounded at times by redwoods and ferns. A 25-foot waterfall flows after the winter rains. There is a self-guided nature trail along Sonoma Creek that starts near the picnic area.

  On a clear day, visitors can see views of the Sierra Nevada and the Golden Gate bridge from the 2729-foot summit of Bald Mountain.

  The non-profit Valley of the Moon Observatory Association provides year-round astronomy education and interpretation programs at the Robert Ferguson Observatory within Sugarloaf Ridge State Park. Program fees vary, some are free with the payment of the park's Day Use Fee. There are three telescopes and the New Generation 40-inch Telescope Project at the Ferguson Observatory which will be one of the largest telescopes dedicated for public viewing. For more information and public viewing schedules, visit www.rfo.org.

  Dogs must be on a leash under your control at all times. Dogs are not allowed on trails. Dogs must be in a tent, camper or enclosed vehicle during the night.
  

  You must be registered to attend the campout.
