BMW Motorrad provides 149 motorcycles for ADAC driving safety training courses.
Munich. Riding on winding country roads, going on
extended tours to distant countries – all this requires riding skills
and experience. That’s why taking part in an ADAC BMW Ride Training
Course is a worthwhile investment, especially at the start of the new
season. Last year alone, more than 2,300 motorcyclists and interested
persons completed BMW Ride Safety Training Courses powered by
ADAC. A figure that speaks for itself.
BMW Motorrad and ADAC have already been cooperating in the area of
ride safety training since 2014 and the continuation of this
cooperation was recently sealed by Mike Sommer, Head of BMW Motorrad
Germany and ADAC Board Member Dr Dieter Nirschl. BMW Motorrad will
provide 149 BMW motorcycles from different model series as well as
corresponding rider equipment for the next three years, to be used in
12 ADAC training facilities.
The BMW motorcycles will be used at the following BMW Ride
events powered by ADAC:
· BMW RIDE FIRST
· BMW RIDE AGAIN
· BMW RIDE ADVANCED
· BMW R 18 Cruiser Training
· BMW RIDE OUT
“Get on the bike and try it out!” is the BMW RIDE
FIRST motto. The course is aimed at all those who do not yet
have a motorcycle licence but would like to feel the motorcycle
experience for the first time without any obligations. The
participants can ride a number of current BMW motorcycle models.
Course contents include ergonomics, seating position and balance
exercises, getting on and off the bike as well as pushing, starting
the engine and clutch exercises. Finally, the highlight is taking your
first ride on the motorcycle.
BMW RIDE AGAIN is aimed at returning riders and
motorcyclists who have not ridden for a long time. Basic exercises
such as the correct seating position, where to look and how to steer,
safe starting and stopping are just as much a part of the 4.5-hour
ride safety training as regaining and refining balance, effective
braking and evasive techniques. All this on BMW motorcycles, of course.
For already advanced motorcyclists who want to take their riding
skills to a new level, there is the BMW RIDE ADVANCED
course. This full-day training course focuses on refining the sense of
balance, sitting, looking and steering correctly, refining lean angle
reserves, exercises on special dynamic surfaces as well as handling
rider assistance systems and a great deal more.
In addition to these three BMW RIDE safety training courses, there is
the BMW R 18 Cruiser Training course, a ride safety
training course which is specially tailored to the BMW R 18. In this
7.5-hour ride training course, all the important content for handling
the BMW R 18 safely is taught. Finally, the course ends with a
two-hour guided ride on the “Big Boxer”.
For those who would like to set off on a tour straight away, the
BMW RIDE OUT is the place to go. On this tour, the
unique experience of riding on a tour together is led by experienced
guides and is combined with professional tips from experienced ADAC
trainers. This is the optimum setting for enjoying an eventful and
educational motorcyling day at the same time.
