Road bikes only?
Is this limited to road bikes or can GS's partake? If so is there a restriction on tires, eg would a TKC front be acceptable?

All BMW Bikes

All BMW bikes are welcome, this would include the GS range. You can use your tyre of choice, however dual purpose would be beneficial as to full off road tyres.

Thank you!

Wow. What a day. I learned more about riding my bike today than in the year and half I've been on it.

I'm quite sure than I will now be a more competent and therefore more safer rider on tar. This track day has been more than worth it - and what a load of fun to boot! Anybody who rides a bike should attend a track day like this, even if your passion is gravel - we still do great distances on tar which you need to cover safely. Also, many of the principles we were taught today are absolutely as relevant for offroad riding: avoiding target fixation, maintaining 360 degree awareness, progressive forward scanning, etc etc.

My only concern is where to get my speed fix now that I'm hooked ...

Big thanks to Dave, John, David, Wayne and the rest of the crew.
