Munich/Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
Once a year the international BMW Motorrad fan community comes
together to celebrate for three days, to talk shop and to enjoy
Bavarian motorcycling culture and customs. Once again the BMW
Motorrad Days – the world’s biggest BMW Motorrad meeting – will be
held at the base of the Hausberg in Garmisch-Partenkirchen from July
1st to 3rd 2016 and will be offering a packed programme.
Partytime, power and personalities at the Hausberg.
This is where the BMW Motorrad scene, motorcycle enthusiasts
and everyone interested in motorcycles meets. The BMW Motorrad Days
have long established themselves as an event for all types of
motorcycle fans. There will be lots of fun and something for every
sports, touring and enduro rider, for customizing freaks and even
visitors without a motorcycle license. During the day there is a
packed motorcycle programme as well as the delightful beergarden for
relaxing. In the evening live music and numerous parties will
entertain visitors. Among the big names at the BMW Motorrad Days
will be German actor Hannes Jaenicke, ice wheelie
world record holder Robert Gull, Superbike rider
Sabine Holbrook, the International
GS Trophy winning team as well as the
International GS Trophy female team, comic artist
Riccardo Burchielli and many more.
Boxer sprint, stunt show and wall-ride action.
The Boxer Sprint provides a great deal of
live action where especially ambitious BMW boxer motorcyclists
drag-race over the traditional furlong distance (eighth of a mile).
BMW 2 and 4-valve boxers are eligible to enter and a jury selects a
team of 16 racers from all applicants. The more outstanding the
tuned or customised bike is, the higher the chances are of getting
onto the starting grid.
Visitors can inspect all the unique custom bikes in detail in
the Custom Village – accompanied by live
Rockabilly music in the evening.
If you want to experience how a motorcycle can seemingly defy
the laws of gravity, then make sure you visit the amazing stunt show
with freestyle artist Mattie Griffin or go to Donald
Ganslmeier’s Motodrome. Donald and his team perform
breathtaking wall rides on historic motorcycles in the world’s
oldest motodrome – barely more than an arm’s length from the spectators.
Riding out into the mountains together.
Visitors can test ride a wide selection of current BMW
motorcycle models. Registering is recommended and is possible from
the beginning of June under: www.bmw-motorrad.com/motorraddays
You can explore the Zugspitz region around Garmisch, one of
the most scenic regions in Germany, in full or half day tours as
well as on panorama tours with local guides.
Enduro riding fun and GS try-out trophy – a real challenge for newcomers.
If you are looking to experience offroad riding on your own
BMW GS, you will be thrilled by the GS try-out trophy
2016. Teams of 3 participants always set off together and
taking part is free of charge. However, the number of starting
places is limited. The winner of the GS try-out trophy will win a
valuable prize: a BMW motorcycle. Detailed information will follow
shortly on the BMW Motorrad homepage www.bmw-motorrad.com
Another exciting attraction also awaits slightly less
ambitious enduro enthusiasts: the offroad track at the base of the
Hausberg where experienced instructors show participants how much
fun offroad riding can be. Under professional guidance, offroad
enthusiasts can explore what a BMW Enduro is really capable of.
Trade fair and exhibitor area, fun for children in the
Kinderland and Social Media Lounge.
The BMW Motorrad Days are also a big get-together for people
from all over the world who want to find out all about the world of
BMW Motorrad in the big trade fair and exhibitor tent. 100
exhibitors will be presenting new ideas and clever accessories. In
the Kinderland children will be entertained and cared for right into
the early evening hours. An exciting circuit and an action-packed
weekend await the young ones. Visitors can relax and socialise
online in the Social Media Lounge. Smartphone and tablet battery
chargers are available free of charge. Photos can be posted on #bmwmotorraddays.
Talking directly to the people who develop BMW motorcycles.
Being able to talk directly to the BMW Motorrad developers,
engineers and test riders to get a close-up look into how BMW
Motorrad developers work. In the motorsports tent, visitors can
inspect the brand’s white and blue racing bikes and experience many
BMW Motorrad motorsports riders live.
Music, partytime and possibly a new motorcycle.
Last but not least the BMW Motorrad Days are also always a
cheerful celebration among like-minded enthusiasts. This year, too,
everything is set for the big party with free admission. A tent site
on the nearby field is available for € 7.50. A tent can be rented
for € 25.
Traditionally the highlight of the evening is when the
Blechblosn band and the Bogus
Brothers bring the party to a boil in the big beer tent and
when even the most introverted begin singing along with gusto and
start dancing on the beer tables.
And finally every visitor can also win a brand new BMW
motorcycle by buying an event pin.
