Come ride with us at Color in the Catskills III, October 1-3.
From the buzz online and here in the shop, Color in the Catskills III is lining up to be the best one yet! There appears to be a lot of enthusiasm for this unique weekend that combines Hunter Mountain’s Oktoberfest with a BMW rally! There is no rally fee for this event - it’s free - and bikes of all makes and models are welcome. MAX BMW Motorcycles is a proud sponsor of this event and we are providing three more great reasons to attend:
BMW Demo Truck:
Here’s your opportunity to ride the bike of your dreams on some of the best roads in the northeast. The BMW Demo Truck will be on site on Saturday, October 2 with all of the latest models. Pre-registrations are not accepted for demos, simply visit us under the awning on Saturday to sign up!
MAX BMW Dual Sport / Off-Road Clinics:
Back by popular demand, we will be offering free off-road skills classes for adventure bike riders who want to broaden their range of travel. Classes will be held on Saturday and on Sunday morning. As with the demo truck, sign up will be at the rally only.
Knobby-only Dual Sport Ride:
Saturday afternoon after the off-road class, we will be leading a dual sport ride through the Catskills (approx. 3 pm) Knobby tires will be required for this ride.
We will have a tighter schedule of events available for publication next week. For more information on Color in the Catskills, visit the Hunter Mountain Web Site or the rally thread on the BMW MOA Forum.
