Munich/Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
BMW Motorrad once again offers its international fan community a
program that is as diverse as its model range and as varied as the
motorcyclists themselves. From the 1th of July 2016 there will be
three days of motorcycling, celebrating and bike talk – not to
mention plenty of opportunity to enjoy the good life in Bavarian
style, of course.
The organisers have come up with lots of ideas again
this year. The core activities will be the numerous
on-road and off-road test rides
using the current range of models. There will also be special
panorama tours along dirt roads and forest tracks.
For those who do not yet hold a motorcycle licence, the BMW Motorrad
Days offer test training sessions under expert guidance.
The BMW Motorrad Days would not be complete without the parades:
the Main Motorcycle Parade starts on Saturday at
12.30 pm (line-up from 12 midday). And the Classic
Parade featuring motorcycle gems of every vintage, likewise a
traditional feature, starts on Sunday at 12 midday.
And on the subject of classic vehicles: this year, the
BMW Classic Tent focuses on the theme
“Performance. In all disciplines”. The design study
“BMW R5 Homage” can be admired in this tent, too –
it is the bike that was recently premiered at the Concorso d’Eleganza
at Lake Como. The VIP guest in the BMW Classic Tent will be
racing legend Helmut Dähne, who will be available
to sign autographs and talk to visitors.
Boxer Sprint over one furlong: in collaboration with
MC Augsburg, the Glemseck 101 team and the motorcycle magazine MO, a
new edition of the Boxer Sprint will be held in which 2 and 4-valve
conversion bikes battle it out with one another. The contest starts on
Saturday at 3 pm in St.-Martin-Straße.
For the first time there will be a GS Trophy Tent:
featuring an exhibition on the previous GS Trophy events,
this tent is also an information and contact centre for all off-road
enthusiasts and former GS Trophy participants. The winning team of the
International GS Trophy 2016 and the first International GS Trophy
female team will also be there.
Action and show-time in the Event
Arena: free-style stunt rider Mattie
Griffin performs impressive stunts on his converted G 310 R.
Team Ritzmann Motorsport
has an exciting Car Drift Show in store and
there will also be a Lifestyle Action Show for
additional entertainment.
Also Football and the EM
Matches has not been forgotten and are taken into
consideration during the BMW Motorrad Days.
BMW Motorrad Motorsport
presents its motorsport truck, where there will be autograph
sessions and interviews with BMW Motorsport heroes.
The Custom Village is not just about
long beards and tattoos: there are also new exhibitors, special
conversions and of course the legendary Original Motodrom – the oldest
travelling wall-of-death show in the world.
Adventurers in the US Lodge: Michael
Martin, Henning Bützow, Dylan Samara
Wickrama and other speakers provide fascinating entertainment
as they talk about their amazing experiences.
And there is
already a long list of VIPs who have confirmed they will attend. The
following names are an absolute must: Hannes Jaenicke,
Lisa Tomaschewsky, world record holder in ice wheelie
riding Robert Gull, superbike rider Sabine
Holbrook, speed racer Valerie Thompson,
racing rider Maria Costello, adventurer
Squash Falconer, tattoo artist Makani
Terror, comic illustrator Riccardo Burchielli,
racing rider and Isle of Man TT winner, Ian
Hutchinson and many more besides ….
Last but not least, guests can look forward to party,
campfire and music.
The party before the party: once again this year
there will be a Warm-Up Party at the BMW Museum in Munich
on Thursday 30 June from 7 pm onwards.
The event itself
then gets underway in Garmisch on Friday: big tents, big beer glasses
and great live bands. The Bogus Brothers (Friday) and
the legendary Blechblos’n (Saturday) get things fired
up in the Party Tent this year.
At the
Motodrom there is rock’n’ roll with
Desperado5 (Friday) and Ricky Rocket and
the Phantoms (Saturday).
The American alternative:
Dreirad and DJ Robert rocks the
US Lodge on Friday. Meanwhile on Saturday, DJ
Robert gets the party going, along with Rock Wave.
And as an alternative for all age groups: campfire
music with Byron (Friday and Saturday).
Music to put you to bed and music to get you up: on Sunday
morning the Metropolitan Jazz Band from Prague once
again plays at the jazz breakfast in the beer garden.
At the Action Stage very special pictures can
be created. Sitting on a BMW
G 310 R or standing on a Longborad,
visitors can choose the background by Greenscreen. Different Urban
Street Art motifs are designed by international artists such as for
example Felipe Pantone (Valcencia, Spain), Low Bros (Hamburg, Germany)
or Cyrcle (Los Angeles, USA).
This pictures can be printed
immediately or received digital and dispatched with special greeting
from the BMW Motorrad Days.
The Social Media Lounge is the relaxing area to
share news, pictures and videos. Simply use the hashtag
#bmwmotorraddays or post on
facebook.com/BMWMotorrad. Everyone who can’t be
there in person will be closely involved on every channel: Facebook,
Twitter, Youtube, Instagram, Snapchat and Google+. Just search for
“BMW Motorrad” on the respective channels.
Overnight accommodation
in the great outdoors: last but not least, a large camping area
next to the event grounds covering a surface area of 15,000 square
metres is available to our guests – with showers and toilets (€ 7.50
per tent for the duration of the event).
… BMW Motorrad Days: there’s something for everyone! It’s legendary!
