BMW Motorcycle Rides & Events

Check this page often for information about our monthly shop rides. Sometimes, we’ll head down to Honz’s Rouge Creek campsite and lead a GS ride though the fire roads and twisty tarmac of the Mark Twain National Forest. Shannon usually takes the smaller bikes down some gnarly and unbeaten paths while Honz shows everyone what the 1150GS was built for. Come join us on a ride. Honz, Shannon, Kevin and James will show you how to get the most out of your BMW and take you places you didn’t know existed in Missouri.
For those without a set of Tourances or TKC-80s we have a couple of rides scheduled that will let you pin the tach carving winding roads like Femme Osage, Highway T and others.
Our typical ride rules are ride at your own pace and ride your own ride. We’re not responsible for any foolish things you may do while following someone foolish. We always wait at intersections so there’s no need to ride faster than you’re comfortable with. The idea is to have fun with people who are passionate about riding motorcycles.
It’s an exhibition not a competition.

Gateway BMW’s GS Challenge (held the last full weekend in April) was a blast, even for those of us who didn’t ride (well, me anyway). I went down in a car and brought some gear down from the shop.
When I arrived at Honz’s Rogue Creek camp on Friday evening, several people were already there, chatting [...]
