Oilhead 259: BMW R 1100 GS Oilhead Refresh (Part 7)
What does it take to ride a motorcycle like a professional motor officer? BMW MOA M’Fest puts riders to the test with advanced motorcycle skills training in Lebanon, Tennessee. Go inside the 2026 BMW Motorcycle Owners of America M’Fest Authority Bike Training, where law enforcement motor officers and civilian riders came together to improve their motorcycle control, precision and confidence. Led by instructors from the BMW U.S. Rider Academy, M’Fest gives riders the opportunity to work on the kinds of skills that separate simply riding a motorcycle from truly controlling one — including low-speed maneuvering, balance, braking, clutch and throttle control, tight turns and precision riding. And M’Fest isn’t just for police. 🏍️ Law enforcement and civilian riders are welcome 🏍️ All motorcycle brands are welcome 🏍️ Riders of different experience levels can participate 👮 Motor officers can earn 24 hours of Continuing Education Credit Whether you ride a BMW, Harley-Davidson, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Indian, Triumph or something else, M’Fest is about improving the rider — not the logo on the tank. Watch the 2026 event and see what happens when riders step outside their comfort zones, train with professional instructors and discover just how much control is possible on a motorcycle. Think you could do it? The next BMW MOA M’Fest takes place September 8–11, 2027 in Lebanon, Tennessee. 👉 Learn more about M’Fest and 2027 motorcycle training: https://mfest.bmwmoa.org/
