The Adventure Course is a certified BMW Motorrad Enduro Training program designed for the rider looking to gain a new set of riding techniques that are particular to off-road riding, perfect for a beginner to intermediate level rider. Our course is instructed by Mark Kruger who has trained at the BMW facilities in Hechlingen, Germany.
As an owner of an adventure motorcycle, you understand the need to change the way you ride on the pavement versus the dirt. Adventure motorcycles are large and for many road riders that can be intimidating in the tight confines of dirt roads. The curriculum will walk you through a logical sequential series of exercises that will give you all the necessary skills and confidence to take full advantage of what your motorcycle was design to do.
Regardless of your off-road experience, our certified course provides you with a new perspective to riding off-road, and help make adventure motorcycling your passion!
