Some things you don't learn on the road. At least not by choice. How do I react when things suddenly get tight ahead of me? What do I do when someone next to me goes down? And how do I make sure my bike is still where I parked it tomorrow morning?
Skills & Safety is our workshop afternoon for everyone who wants more than just riding. Three stations, plenty of hands-on practice, real experts – and the good feeling of being prepared for more than just the next fuel stop.
You'll rotate through all three stations in small groups. In between, there's time for coffee, conversation and connecting with fellow riders.
Station 1: Defensive Riding – Ride ahead of the moment In collaboration with Success Fahrschule (Jens Mellentin & Thorsten Dippelt)
Defensive riding doesn't mean riding slow. It means knowing what's about to happen before it does. Together with the experienced instructors from Success Fahrschule, we'll cover hazard recognition, braking strategies, visual awareness and the right response in critical situations – right at the bike, with plenty of exchange at eye level. No lecturing, just the skills that matter in everyday riding.
Station 2: First Aid at the Scene – The first minutes count In collaboration with KHV Netzwerk
For most of us, that first aid course was years ago. And when it really matters, everything feels different than it did in the textbook. The team from KHV Netzwerk will refresh the essentials with you – specifically for motorcycle accidents: Remove the helmet or not? Recovery position in motorcycle gear? How do I secure an accident scene on a country road? Hands-on exercises, real scenarios, no certificate pressure – just the knowledge that can save lives when it counts.
Station 3: Bike Security – Protect what matters to you In collaboration with BMW Motorrad Club Spandau e.V. (Andreas Stolz)
Motorcycle theft isn't random – it's a system. And if you know how thieves think, you can protect yourself better. Together with BMW Motorrad Club Spandau e.V., we'll cover mechanical and electronic security, GPS tracking, smart locks and the right parking spot. Plus: tips on insurance and documentation. Short, practical, with concrete recommendations to take home.
Spots are limited to 45 participants – secure your free ticket now.
