It’s #r18 day at your nearest @bmwmotorradusa dealer. Go check out the R 18 varieties - regular, Classic, Bagger & Transcontinental!

In the parking lot at @mortonsbmw are Indians (incl mine), Triumph & Harley. I predict pleasant surprise and enthusiasm from anybody riding an 18 for the first time.

The semifinals were super dramatic! Crashes, drops, injuries and quite a few perfect runs. No film of the finals though - sorry!

Welcome to the BMW MOA family! First, let me star

Welcome to the BMW MOA family!

First, let me start off by saying that as long-time riders of many brands, we are thrilled to finally be part of the BMW Motorrad family along with becoming members of the BMW Motorcycle Owners of America.

Both my wife and I have been avid motorcycle riders for 25 years now. Raising 6 children meant that our passion for motorcycle was passed on, and we would regularly go on family trail rides around the local OHV offerings in Colorado every summer.

But now that we are empty nesters, the kid’s old dirt bikes have been sold along with our own dual-purpose and street bikes about three years ago. It didn't take long until we realized that we were missing motorcycles in our lives.

Our BMW journey has been a long admiration for the GS line that we would always notice while out riding. They always represented that sense of adventure that we liked and we're ready for now. I ended up downsizing from a KLR650 and my wife upsized from and XT225. Meeting in the middle for the G310GS has really proven to make us both much happier now.

We also wanted something that would fit into the back of our pickup truck so that we could haul them along with our trusty travel trailer. After some careful measuring and double-checking, it appeared that the G310GS model would indeed fit the bill. Two motorcycles in one truck bed, perfect! The bonus for us is that my wife and I were both able to get them in our preferred color combinations too: The blue Rallye style option for her and the black 40 Years GS Anniversary edition for me. This naturally led us to name them Optimus Prime and Bumble Bee.

We have had the pleasure to take these bikes on several trips and have already had to take them back into the dealership for their 600-mile checkup. Attached to this email should be a few photos of our new bikes, along with a few of the riding spots that we have been to recently.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone out on the road while we are all out and about seeing this great country of ours.

Welcome back to the BMW MOA Family! I live in Sio

Welcome back to the BMW MOA Family!

I live in Sioux Falls SD and am a previous member of the BMWMOA and have been a President of the local club but its been better than a decade or two. Now that the kids are grown up, I'm spending more time in the riders seat. I have owned BMW Motorcycles since around 1991. My first was a 1985 K100RS. Since then, I've had a couple K bikes, a GS and currently have a 07 R12RT. I prefer mountain riding but there aren't any in eastern SD so every other year a so, I fly out to Idaho and join a good friend to ride there. I rent a BMW there, instead of making the 1300 mile one way trip on mine and enjoy trying out newer models. A new GS is on the top of my list after making a large loop on one through Idaho and eastern Oregon. Hoping to make some BMW rallies again as an early retirement from 30 plus years as federal/military employee is about 2 years away.

We continue shining a light on some key volunteers

We continue shining a light on some key volunteers with Jason Olson as our guest on 200 Miles Before Breakfast. Jason – better knows as Jiggs in most circles – is the MOA’s Ambassador Liaison, and he tells us what an MOA Ambassador is and why they’re so important to the membership. He also tells us how we can nominate fellow members for inclusion in the Ambassador program, and all about his journey to BMW motorcycles and the MOA.⠀

Welcome to the BMW MOA Family!
I've been riding offroad since 1983. My first street experience came in 2002. Being calibrated in dirt........I found riding street was easy to pick up since you always have traction. I ride 80/20 street now on my 2020 R1250GSA. There's simply more accessible street to ride here in beautiful Tennessee than dirt. That's an unfortunate reality. I've had all brands of bikes, including a '07 GSA and an '04 Boxer Cup Replika in addition to Japanese, Italian and American brands. The GSA is simply the best tool for me to accomplish my riding work, period. Especially true if I'm riding 2-up due to the way the GSA chassis distributes a load. I'm averaging ~1k miles/ month now. Really diggin' the new bike. Hope to meet lots of folks to ride with in east Tennessee! Country roooooads....take me hoooome!

Best,

Welcome to the BMW MOA FAMILY!

I joined BMW MOA because the forums are super-helpful and I wanted roadside assistance for my recent ride across Colorado. I have an R75/6 which has been smooth, reliable, and fun since I got it about a year ago.

Welcome to the BMW MOA FAMILY! I’ve been on and

Welcome to the BMW MOA FAMILY!

I’ve been on and around motorcycles my entire life. My love of BMWs started in my early twenties when I would frequent a friend who lived in the Green Mountains in Vermont. Quite often I would be the first one awake and I would see and hear BMW touring bikes buzzing by. I would imagine the lives of the riders I saw and think about how owning a GS or K bike could transform my life. Flash-forward to 2016 and few bikes later I was a proud of owner of 2007 GSA. That bike did exactly what I thought it would do and more. It took me up down the eastern seaboard without fail. I am now a proud owner of 2017 Triple Black GSA as well as a few other toys in my garage.

I have wanted to join the MOA since 2016 but for some reason I never pulled the trigger. After listening to 200 miles before breakfast constantly over the last year and some gentle nudging from another fellow member I finally joined. I’m excited at the opportunity of networking with more like minded riders and attending MOA events. I’ve actually already signed up for the Green Mountain Rally in September!
