The BMW MOA and the the BMW Performance Center's US Rider Academy have partnered to bring you a unique rider training opportunity - the Smoky Mountain Training Tour!

The Smoky Mountain Training Tour is the best of both worlds - a motorcycle tour through epic twisty roads along with expert instruction at each stop from the premier training group at the BMW Performance Center. Oh, and you get to ride the latest BMW motorcycles! It is the ultimate test ride!

On the Smoky Mountain Training Tour, you'll cover three states (South Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee) while enjoying the feel of a BMW motorcycle. The tour includes a visit to the Wheels Through Time Motorcycle Museum, complete with over 300 running classic motorcycles, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Moonshiner 28, and the Tail of the Dragon!

Three instructors from the BMW Performance Center will join the tour, allowing for very personalized training opportunities at each rest stop. Instructors will debrief participants on observations from the previous section along with techniques to utilize in the next section of the tour.

If the creeks don’t rise, I may ride down the hill on the Grom and harass y’all at Wheels Through Time, which is right around the corner from my house :ha
