Self-Guided Museum Tour: Explore the region’s past by visiting four museums in the tri-cities of John Day, Canyon City and Prairie City. The museums are within 13 miles of one another. One is within walking distance of the fairgrounds. Collect an information sheet with directions, fees and hours of operation at Rally Central. Maybe even work in a lunch. Information Booth

Coffee with Dave: An informal get-together where you can have some coffee and a snack to get you ready for the day. Bring your curiosity, questions, and whatever thoughts you’d like to share. Dave has conducted his “coffee” sessions at BMWMOA and BMWRA rallies, where he has developed a reputation for impromptu gags, demonstrations, bad jokes, contests, and occasionally — unique insights into riding skills and street survival. David Hough and Panel

Low Speed Stability: Parking lots, construction zones, loose surfaces — gravel anyone. Learn how to see the potential trouble that may be in front of you. Learn motorcycle handling tactics that can get you through less than optimum road conditions at low speeds. Ramey ‘Coach’ Stroud

Low Speed Stability Range Practice: Apply the Low Speed Stability classroom skills while riding a supervised closed course. Ramey ‘Coach’ Stroud

MSF Seasoned Rider — Aging Awareness: Reservations Required. Sign up at the Information Booth. Growing older is a good thing, when one considers the alternative! This one and half hour, classroom-only program is about how to be a safer rider as one gets older. Offered annually by the BMWMOA Foundation at the annual International Rally this workshop has proven extremely popular and useful to the riders of all ages. Jay Bennett

Packing Light and Tight: Traveling light and tight: The latest and greatest equipment and tips for your next trip. Debbie Webber

Better Body Mechanics: How to feel great after the long ride. Ramey ‘Coach’ Stroud

Introduction To Sidecars and Trikes: If your experience has so far been limited to two-wheeled motorcycles, you may have wondered why someone would intentionally ruin a perfectly good bike by attaching some off-center contraption to one side. On the other hand, you may have noticed that lots of veteran motorcyclists seem to get a kick out of driving a sidecar outfit. Others of us need a stable three-wheeler because of physical limitations, or the need to carry gear, children, or passengers safely. Bring your questions, and by all means bring your sidecar rig for the rest of us to gawk at and talk about. David Hough

Just for the Ladies: Have an issue? Something not working? Bring your motorcycle related questions for a panel discussion of all things motorcycle “Just for the Ladies”. Debbie Webber

Don’t be a Chicken, Ride Slovenia: Jeff and Liz Jones will present a slide show and share their motorcycle travelogue “Don’t Be a Chicken, Ride Slovenia”. Jeff and Liz spent a week motorcycle touring through Slovenia. They also spent two weeks with three other couples riding through Austria, Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic, along with four day trips including one that took them to Poland to visit Krakow and Auschwitz. Please join them for a tour of Central Europe on motorcycles. Jeff and Liz Jones

John Day Fossil Beds: For parents and kids alike. A visit to the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument is like taking a journey into ancient Oregon. tour Tour the museum at Sheep Rock, hike a trail at the Painted Hills, or picnic at Clarno. See what the plants and animals were like in ancient Oregon.

Airhead Barley Therapy: Join Garry Newby and Doug Barber as they share Airhead maintenance and riding tips you can live by.

Airheads Mini Tech Session: Participate in hands on field maintenance on your very own Airhead under the expert guidance of Garry and Doug. Learn how to keep them running.

Meet and Greet: Get to know your fellow riders and members of BMW Riders of Oregon (BMWRO). Share common interests and find out about upcoming club events. www.bmwro.org Lynn Munson

Lindy Gravelle: Lindy’s CD, The High Road, has been described as a nostalgic trip down a dusty road in an old pick-up truck. Join Lindy as she pays tribute to some of her early influences, and shows that her songwriting skills remain sharp as ever. www.lindygravelle.com

GS Ride: Join a guided ride through beautiful Grant County back roads. Be prepared to ride at least 80 miles, with ample fuel, snacks and water. The ride will begin promptly at 10:30am Saturday. Staging is next to the main entrance in the parking lot. Look for the sign. Debbie Webber
