Great News of an upcoming Clinic for GS Riders and Riders of Bigger Dirt Bikes
Doc Wong and Kari Prager of California BMW have teamed up to create a special dirt clinic for bigger bikes and the newbie dirt rider. This is way cool! Harry just got a new R1200GS, and this clinic will be geared for the bigger dual sport bikes from GSs to F650s, the larger KTM bikes to XR650Ls, KLR 650s, and the like.
The dirt drills to are designed to accommodate the more newbie dirt rider. If you're more of an intermediate dirt rider or Advanced dirt rider we'd appreciate any help you'd like to give in leading a group, etc.
Check out my web page at: http://www.docwong.com to get info on past dirt riding clinics and especially on: "How to Drown and Undrown a Dirtbike" ;-)
Anyone is welcome to come to the evening "Dirt Riding Workshop-Talks and Demonstrations" part of the clinic and is not limited in numbers, however the practical "Dirt Ride Drills and Dirt Ride" part of the clinic is limited to 40 riders.
This clinic is held on two separate days. Please note: Friday night's talk is a prerequisite to Sunday's drilling and ride.

- Food: Snacks, lunch and water.
- Gear:Minimally have a good helmet, gloves, heavy boots, blue jeans and a long sleeved shirt. Full dirt riding gear is ideal: Dirt helmet, goggles, chest protector, elbow guards, gloves, knee pads and dirt boots. Regular dual sport riding and touring gear is ok too, but be aware it may get hot.
- Mechanical: Bike in good order, knobbies will work best, however dual-sport tires will work also. Street bike tires will provide a unique experience! ;-)
- Tools: Having a good tool kit is always good.
Ride street, ride track, ride dirt, trials.....ride.....well!
