World of BMW announces new dates for Off-Road Skills
|
The World of BMW’s Off-Road Skills School in South Wales is proving to be more popular than ever in 2007, with spaces on both the Level One and Level Two courses fast selling out. However, there is good news for riders wanting to head to the impressive 4,000-acre off road haven at Walters Arena Enduro Park, as six-times Dakar Rally competitor Simon Pavey and his team announce six new dates.
Despite increasing the number of courses available in 2007, the vast majority of original dates, running from March to October, are already sold out. Therefore, the new dates have been added to meet the ever increasing demand and the recommendation for those interested is to book on one of the new dates as early as possible to avoid disappointment.
The following six dates have been added to the two-day Off-Road Skills Level One and Two courses calendar in 2007:
• 24-25 March
• 7-8 April – with Level Two
• 5-6 May
• 2-3 June
• 16-17 June
• 30 June - 1 July
In addition to announcing six new dates, The World of BMW also confirmed that Off-Road Skills customers in 2007 will also be able to put two of the new G Series bikes through their paces, as the Xchallenge and Xcountry bikes become available for the first time on levels one and two courses.
The lightweight Xchallenge single-cylinder engine bike is an uncompromising off-road machine, while the stylish Xcountry bike boasts a compact, agile and powerful demeanour. The R 1200 GS and F 650 GS bikes will also continue to be available for riders to choose from.
For more information or to book, please call 08000 131 282 or email bmw@worldofbmw.com . Please note that a full motorcycle licence is needed and participants must be aged 21 or over.
