2. Transporting your motorcycle.
Most BMW motorcycles produced since the mid-1990's are equipped with Telelever front suspension. Use the procedure outlined in this video to safely and securely transport your bike.
Here's a video about preparing your Telelever-equipped BMW Motorcycle for transport on a trailer or pickup truck.

5. Preparing yourself and your bike for Long Distance Riding.
Mike Kneebone's license plate. LD riding is more than Iron Butt rallies; the techniques and skills involved can be applied to touring and even casual riding. We've posted an informative presentation originally given by long distance riding expert, Tom Austin, at our Long Distance Riding Cycle Fest in October 2011. It will help you learn how to prepare your bike and yourself for this challenging pursuit. Even if you don't plan to do 1000 mile days, there's a lot of useful information in this presentation. You can also download a .pdf version of the presentation here.

6. First Aid for Motorcyclists.
What if your riding buddy goes down while you're out on a ride? Do you know what to do? Do you know what not to do? Fire Captain and paramedic, Phil Challinor, came to our store in January, 2012 and gave a presentation on the basics of first aid. You can read and download his tips and notes here.
