Doc Wong/Cal BMW Dual Sport Clinic for Larger Bikes Nov 21 and 23!
Hi,
Great News!
Doc Wong and Kari Prager of California BMW have teamed up to create a
special dirt clinic for bigger bikes and the newbie dirt rider.
This is way cool! I just got a new R1200GS, and this clinic will be
geared for the bigger dual sport bikes from GSes to F650s, the larger
KTM bikes to XR650Ls, KLR 650s, and the like.
The dirt drills to are designed to accommodate the more newbie dirt
rider. If you're more of an intermediate dirt rider or Advanced dirt
rider we'd appreciate any help you'd like to give in leading a group,
etc.
This clinic is held on two separate days. Please note: Friday night's
talk is a prerequisite to Sunday's drilling and ride.
Cost: $20.00 donation to the Clear Creek Legal Defense Fund / Blue
Ribbon Coalition
Part A: Friday evening Nov 21, 7:15 PM will be a 1 1/2 hour talk at:
California BMW/Triumph in Palo Alto.
2490 Old Middlefield Way
Mountain View, CA 94043
(650) 966-1183
Coming to the lecture is essential and required for you to be at
Sunday's drills and ride. I'll be going over vital information and
demonstrations of the drills. Of course you'll be doing the drills at
your own level on Sunday. Topics covered range from cornering to
balance, sliding, braking and wheeling your bike.
Part B: Sunday 9 AM to 3 PM will be the meeting at Hollister Hills
(State Vehicular Recreation Area-SVRA) where those drills covered on
Friday night will be practiced until lunch. After lunch we will break
up into groups based on skill level and ride some of the larger,
easier dirt roads of Hollister Hills SVRA.
Kari Prager of Cal BMW/Triumph will
be leading the group of larger dual-sport bikes!
More experienced ride leader volunteers are needed, so let me know if
you'd be willing to lead a group in the afternoon.
TO REGISTER: E-mail me ASAP at:
(E-Mail Removed) (limited to the
first
40 riders, so if you register and can't make it, please let me know
ASAP as there will be a waiting list)
Anyone is welcome to come to the evening "Dirt Riding Workshop-Talks
and Demonstrations" part of the clinic and is not limited in numbers,
however the practical "Dirt Ride Drills and Dirt Ride" part of the
clinic is limited to 40 riders.

WHAT TO BRING TO THE DIRT RIDE
A. Snacks, lunch and water.
B. Gear: Minimally have a good helmet, gloves, heavy boots, blue jeans
and a long sleeved shirt. Full dirt riding gear is ideal: Dirt helmet,
goggles, chest protector, elbow guards, gloves, knee pads and dirt
boots. Regular dual sport riding and touring gear is ok too, but be
aware it may get hot.
C. Mechanical: bike in good order, knobbies will work best, however
dual-sport tires will work also. Street bike tires will provide a
unique experience! ;-)
D. Tools: Having a good tool kit is always good.
