Camp GEARS gives riders, age 16-26, the chance to hang-out with other younger riders from all over, no matter what brand motorcycle your ride or how much experience you have. Maybe you've been riding since you were knee-high to a grasshopper, or maybe you just got on a bike recently. No matter... Kick back, swap lies, and learn a thing or two about the in’s and out’s of riding.

Camp GEARS takes place on July 19-20, 2005, during the two days prior to the BMW MOA International Rally in Lima, Ohio. The best part is that there is no fee. Simply by participating, you’ll be able to attend the BMW MOA International Rally, for the rest of the week, for free. All this brought to you compliments of the friendly folks at the BMW MOA Foundation.

Details are still being hammered out, but planned topics for this informal event include:

• Ride Faster. Ride Safer.
  
• Mechanics for Dummies
  
• Gear: What’s Cool. What’s Hot.
  
• Oops!: Uhm, Now What?
  
• Trippin’: A HOW-TO guide to traveling in style
  

If you are interested, or know of a younger rider who would get a kick out of coming to Camp GEARS, contact the BMW MOA Foundation for an application.
