The annual BMW Motorrad Days party brings together over 30,000 riders from around the world in the beautiful alpine location of Garmisch-Partenkirchen to take advantage of the vast programme of activities offered courtesy of BMW Motorrad to celebrate biking. The 2008 BMW Motorrad Days event runs from 4-6 July in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and what better way to experience it then on a World of BMW Tour.
This year’s tour programme for BMW Motorrad Days begins at one of two UK departure points (Folkestone for the Euro tunnel, or Hull for a ferry at a supplement). A leisurely ride takes the group to the first overnight stay in Metz, before continuing through the Vosges region over the Rhine and into Germany. Once in Germany a ride through the Black Forest leads to Reutlingen for an overnight stay. After a short third day ride, the group will arrive at the BMW Motorrad Days in Garmisch-Partenkirchen at around lunchtime, where they will enjoy the wide range of activities and entertainment on offer at the event.
In 2007 this celebration of all things motorcycling had something for everyone. A specially constructed dirt track saw both expert riders and visitors showcasing their talents. Whilst on tarmac, the world’s best freestyle rider Chris Pfeiffer was up to his usual tricks on his BMW F 800 stunt bike. The BMW Enduro Park gave would-be off-road riders a taste of the authentic BMW enduro experience, and BMW Motorrad’s ‘test ride’ facility saw participants put a BMW motorcycle through its paces on the stunning roads in the picturesque alpine surroundings of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The annual Motorcycle Parade saw a convoy of over 1,000 motorcyclists ride through the neighbouring German and Austrian countryside, with the BMW cinema and party tent adding a perfect finale to a days celebrating with live music and other entertainment. 2008 is set to be just as action packed and entertaining.
For many though, the best thing about BMW Motorrad Days is the coming together of motorcyclists from all over the world to share their love of the BMW lifestyle. More than 40 nations are represented, with some riders travelling from as far away as Indonesia and Australia to be part of the action.
At the end of the meeting the tour will then begin the journey home through Austria, meandering through the stunning mountains of Austria and Switzerland. The group will then pass back into France, over the Vosges Mountains and into the Champagne region, before the group travel the final leg to the point of departure for the UK. The leisurely pace of this tour means that rider’s are able to fully appreciate all the activities BMW Motorrad Days has to offer together with the stunning scenery en route. With overnight stops in St Anton, Basel and Reims, the journey can be just as entertaining as the event itself.
