Join us for a season-long celebration of 40 Years of GS and 10 Years of BMW Motorcycles of Riverside!
Since 1980, BMW’s GS has defined and dominated the adventure motorcycling segment, and since 2010, BMW Motorcycles of Riverside has been its top retailer and destination for enthusiasts.
We’ll kick off honoring these milestones with world-class rider training at Gary LaPlante’s MotoVentures facility, featuring BMW’s own Shawn Thomas and the launch of a route book chronicling dozens of our famous shop rides. Included in this detailed, spiral-bound book will be roads, trails and points of interest that will be the playing field for a scavenger hunt concluding with a year-end raffle where you can win major prizes!
Our training event at MotoVentures is happening on Sunday, October 25th and is limited to just 30 spots. Pricing is normally $275, but BMW Motorcycles of Riverside is kicking in almost half the cost for a reduced fee of just $150!
This is a golden opportunity to sharpen your riding skills, learn how to tune your GS engine and suspension and test your mettle on a challenging course. The small group allows for tailoring the instruction to your needs, whether you’re an off road beginner or an experienced rider ready to tackle a difficult BDR.
Hurry, the deadline for registration is October 16.
