  • FORWARD BMWOR BRIEFINGS TO SOMEONE


    Wow! Did you take a look at the left sidebar? This issue of BMWOR Briefings is dedicated to giving you a glimpse of our upcoming activities for the remainder of 2006. You may also notice that we're making an effort to provide events for people all over the State of Oregon as well as those individuals that prefer dirt over asphalt and vice versa.

    Please check the EVENT CALENDAR link on our website between newsletters to get the latest information on specific activities.

    RIDES FORMAT UPDATE: You have spoken and we are responding. As before, we will provide a meeting time at the dealership for individuals that want to ride together to our designated destination. If you want to ride with us, we request that you read and sign a liability release waiver; otherwise, you're more than welcome to ride your own route, at your own pace, and simply meet us at the destination! Hopefully, this format will provide the best opportunity for our customers to participate in whatever way they feel most comfortable.
