Mike05 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 This may be "old news" to many but it's new to me. http://www.bmwmotorcycles.com/etc/utils.jsp?t=news My understanding is this facility, near Spartanburg, South Carolina will begin one &/or two day training for both On-Road & Off-Road Riders beginning September, '07. (The above web address has some down-loadable brochures that provide more detail, including phone numbers & dates). "Long Way Down", here I come!! Anyone ever take a course like this? Thought I'd share... Link to comment

motoguy128 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Do they charge extra if I ride it 2-up since that's how I ride about 80% of the time? I'm not sure I'd want ot do something like that on my own motorcycle. I'd be PO if I dropped it trying some challenging low speed manuever. Link to comment
randys Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I talked to them at the RA rally in Asheville, they said they would knock off about 75$ if you rode your own bike, but you are responsible for what happens. Ride their bike, and you bounce it, they bring out another one. Well worth the extra I dont know about 2 up riding though. Link to comment
11101110 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I'm there, just as soon as I can anti up the BMW price! +1 You can rent 12 GS or 650 GS. It ends up more than doubling the cost of the class though. I have an RTP with crash bars. Need I say any more? Link to comment
Roadwolf Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Man, that is in my backyard, about 8 miles from my house! I think I am going to sign up! Thanks for the link! Link to comment
daveinatlanta Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I looked all over this site and can't find the training course. Anybody else have this problem? Link to comment
Mike05 Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 Try this site; apparently things moved!! http://www.bmwmotorcycles.com/etc/utils.jsp?t=announcements&idx=0 Link to comment
Michael_T Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 How would this compare to a MFS course? Michael Link to comment
John Ferris Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 From the BMW site, "It should be noted that these courses are recommended those with intermediate riding experience.' Link to comment
floresb Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 The course protocol was set-up by very experienced senior MSF instructors. I don't think it should be viewed as a substitute for MSF training. It is additional training to make us better riders both on and off-road. No - I don't work for BMW or the instructor cadre on-site. The facilities around there are great and if you can combine a tour of the BMW plant it is well worth the effort. Link to comment
