Race fans get ready for a weekend packed full of action and excitement. Join the BMW Motorcycle Owners of America over Memorial Day weekend, May 26-28, for the FIM World Superbike Championship. Miller Motorsports Park in Toelle, Utah will once again host the three day event as SKB makes their only US appearance.  New for 2012 - The Adventure Summit!   Oh, make sure to buy a cool shirt at the MOA booth.

At the World Superbike/AMA road races this coming Memorial Day weekend, adventuresome motorcycle riders can do more than watch exciting pavement action on the track. Adventure Summits are a new form of riding entertainment where participants test their real-world riding, camping and partying skills, ride on a fun competition track, and enjoy premium hospitality while sharing their experience with friends.

The GS Giant adventure riders had so much fun in 2011 that we thought, hey, let's make more! This year, not only can Giants of the adventure kind expect another round of riding, camping and partying for an extremely reasonable price, this year we're also offering similar big doin's for the more pavement inclined.

This is the first helmet I have used without "D" rings for the chinstrap. The "Microlock2" Retention System allows the wearer to adjust the straps while fitting the helmet, and then use a padded quick release rack when wearing or removing it.

The BMW MOA Mileage Contest started April 14. The start form has been posted here, as have the results from 2011.

Trying to keep track of this year's events?  So are we!! We've got GT Giants, World Superbike, Free Ticket Fridays, the Superstakes, GS Giants, Adventure Summits, a big Rally and more. Here's a simple index to help you keep track of what is when, what is what, and how to get involved!

For those of us who think that a 650cc motorcycle is small, prepare to be enlightened. When Husqvarna invited the BMW Owners News to test one of their new 2102 models, they probably had the TE449 in mind, the bike with BMW's motor from the G450X wrapped in bright red Husqvarna plastic.

Make plans now to attend KLIM's Second Annual Adventure Summit and Camp-out July 12th-14th. The location couldn't be better for the best riding you've experienced.
