New GS Adventure Tours from BMW Performance Center

BMW Performance Center announces a new program: "BMW GS Adventure Tours."

Experience the beautiful back roads of the western Carolina's and eastern Tennessee on a guided three day GS Adventure Ride with the instructors of BMW Performance Center's Motorcycle Rider Training group. The GS Adventure Ride begins at the BMW Performance Center, in Greer SC, with a skills clinic preparing the riders for their challenging adventure ahead. Over the course of three days, riders will explore parts of the Cherokee, Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests as well as the Great Smokey Mountains National Park while traversing some of the more renowned roads in the southeast such as Deal's Gap "Tail of the Dragon," the Blue Ridge Parkway, Cherohala Skyway, Parson's Branch and many of the lesser known "local" favorites.

This adventure will be a true dual sport ride continually moving from twisty paved roads to a combination of gravel, dirt and bedrock roads offering excitement to all skill level riders.

GS Adventure Tour is an All Inclusive Ride
The BMW GS Adventure Tour is an all inclusive fully supported ride. A support vehicle will transport luggage and provide any assistance necessary. All hotels, fuel and meals including snacks and drinks along the trip are included. Instructors will cover on and off road skills and pertinent topics in the clinic as well as at various points along the journey. All skill levels are welcomed; riders should be prepared to ride 150 - 250 miles a day on mixed surfaces.

Fees:
The three day BMW GS Adventure Ride cost $1,995.00 with the use of a BMW Performance Center motorcycle. The cost would be $1,695.00 should you choose to ride your own BMW. Motorcycles available are the R 1200 GS, F 800 GS and F 650 GS all equipped with appropriate dual sport tires.

Special arrangements can be made with BMW dealers or clubs who want to set up group rides for their customers or members.

Schedule:
Tours start in May and run until mid October. Several BMW Performance Center on-site two day off road training programs are being held as well, creating the possibility of a combination five day school and adventure ride if customers desire.
