Parents, grandparents, guardians, Ambassadors, local club officers and members of BMW MOA:  Now is the time to plan your vacation schedule for 2009. The BMW MOA International Rally will be held at the Appalachian Fairgrounds just north of Johnson City, Tennessee on Thursday, July 16 through Sunday July 19.

Camp Gears Tennessee will be a fun, educational camp for young riders of any brand motorcycle ages 16 through 26 sponsored by the BMW MOA Foundation. It will be held on Tuesday, July 14 and Wednesday, July 15, immediately preceding the rally. Young riders who attend Camp GEARS (Gaining Early Advanced Riding Skills) receive two free days of training and fun, and also receive FREE ADMISSION to the BMW MOA Rally.

We know that many times a parent, grandparent, or other accomplished rider will accompany young riders to the Rally. So, plan ahead to schedule vacation time so these young riders can have the opportunity to not only attend the Rally but can attend Camp GEARS,too.

For more information, contact Voni or Paul Glaves: or call Tammy at the BMW MOA (636) 394-7277.
