Munich/Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The 18th BMW Motorrad
Days takes place from 6 to 8 July 2018 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen at
the foot of the Zugspitze mountain. The event organisers are expecting
some 40,000 motorcyclists from all over the world to attend this year.
Lasting three days, the gathering at the Hausberg will once again be
dedicated entirely to the international BMW Motorrad fan community and
riding fun on two wheels. The entrance is free.
In addition to numerous new products, thrilling stunts,
celebrities and test ride campaigns, guests can particularly look
forward to the now legendary party atmosphere with live music. Whether
young or old, the three-day program of activities is so diverse that
everyone’s taste is catered for – leaving no room for boredom.
Party time, celebrities and high spirits at the Hausberg.
The BMW Motorrad Days has long been established as a must for
motorcycle fans from all over the world. Whether from the USA, Japan
or Australia, whether sports or touring riders, enduro enthusiasts or
customising fans – with such a diversified motorcycle-related
programme, beer gardens to enjoy during the day and lots of parties
with live music in the evening, everyone will find their own favourite
way to enjoy hours of fun. In attendance at the event again this year:
actor Hannes Jaenicke along with singer and RR fan
Wincent Weiss.
Spectacular stunts, customising and action pure.
The stunt performances go to the very limits of
riding physics – such as the BMW Drift Show with
Ritzmann Motorsport or the demonstrations by freestyle artists
Mattie Griffin and Dirk
Manderbach. Meanwhile visitors can marvel at the decades-old
tradition of wall-of-death riding in the Original
Motodrom – the oldest wall of death in the world. Here,
Donald and his team do their rounds over the wooden boards on
historical motorcycles in breathtaking style.
Friends of customising and converted motorcycles will find just
what they’re looking for at the Custom Village, where
individual machines can be inspected in detail at close quarters – to
the accompaniment of great live music in the evening.
Explore the superb mountain scenery on a motorcycle.
The BMW Motorrad Days also offers the chance to discover one of
Germany’s most magnificent landscapes on a motorcycle. There are
organised whole-day or half-day tours in the Zugspitze region around
Garmisch-Partenkirchen as well as panorama tours accompanied by guides
who are familiar with the area.
Once again this year there is also a wide selection of current
BMW motorcycle models available for test rides on site.
Off-road and enduro riding directly on the event grounds.
Both off-road newcomers and ambitious enduro riders can explore
fascinating terrain on the off-road track at the foot
of the Hausberg. Under the guidance of professional instructors,
visitors can find out just what the BMW GS models are
capable of away from asphalted roads.
Trade show and exhibition area as well as a play area for the
little ones.
The extensive trade show and exhibition
area reflects the full diversity of BMW Motorrad. In addition
to numerous product presentations, visitors will also find some
fascinating surprises here – not least the
BMW Motorrad Concept 9cento. Some 80
exhibitors will be on site, offering advice as well as
presenting new ideas and accessories.
Young guests are excellently catered for as well: the play area
is packed with fun, hands-on games, while a specially created
Kid’s Track and Kid’s Try-Out Trial
Program ensure that the motorcyclists of the future can enjoy
an exciting, action-packed weekend. Meanwhile the numerous football
fans can be sure not to miss the live broadcasts from Russia.
Intensive shop talk with the BMW Motorrad experts.
At the big BMW Motorrad Exhibition Pavilion, visitors have the
chance to engage in a detailed chat with BMW Motorrad developers,
engineers and test riders as well as getting a behind-the-scenes
glimpse of the BMW Motorrad development department. What is more,
“Meet the mechanic” at the
BMW Motorrad Classic Tent gives visitors the opportunity to relive the
more than 90-year history of BMW Motorrad. Meanwhile motorcycling
globetrotter and photographer Michael Martin provides
fascinating entertainment with his almost legendary talks at the BMW
Motorrad Cinema.
Live music, party time – and with a little luck maybe even a
new motorbike.
But in addition to the action, fun and entertainment, the
BMW Motorrad Days is always about enjoying the fun of a party in true
Bavarian style. As usual, admission is free and the entire set-up is
perfect. The highlights are the evenings in the big beer tent where
party heroes Gerry Gary ensure a thumping
atmosphere on the Saturday – this is where even the quietest visitors
end up joining in the singing and dancing.
For anyone who wishes to stay overnight directly on site, the
campsite in the nearby field offers pitches for EUR 12. Last but not
least, the sale of event pins gives visitors the chance to win two
brand new BMW motorcycles – a BMW F 850 GS and a
BMW R nineT Racer with special features.
