We were checking out their lobby / museum area when all of a sudden a couple of riders on adventure bikes rode down the staircases put on a little demo showing what they could do on the bikes, then rode back up the staircases. Totally unexpected but so cool to see.

Dude. I gotta try that out. I did a beginner motorcycle safety course when I was a new rider and I had a blast. And after riding for 10 years now I can say I learned skills in the class that I would have never figured out on my own on the streets, and have saved my skin (literally) a couple times. This looks like 20x the fun, and some serious above and beyond skills learned in the process.

Been riding these bikes for a few years now, been on many training courses, always a blast and always learn something new. Was really fun to watch you guys experience it for the first time, and to hear how you got to grips with the big bikes and enjoyed it - great video!

The R1200GS is actually easier to pick up than the 800GS despite its size, as it only goes over as far as the cylinder heads whereas the 800 goes all the way to the floor.

@@hassanjamal4212 The 1200 cylinder heads stick out sideways, the 800's are vertical, so the 1200 is much winder down lower. When it "falls" over, the first thing to hit the ground is the top of the cylinder (or guard outside of it). It's sort of that the bike leans sideways at an angle instead of turning 90 degrees flat on the ground. In very rough terms, it's the difference between a diamond that falls sideways, and a rectangle that flips on its side.

What a cool and useful experience! It looks like you guys had so much fun. Those BMW bikes are legit!💯👍👍🔥🔥🔥❤

Absolute experience of a lifetime! That course, and one of those bikes, is on my Bucket List. Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

I'm so happy for you guys, it looks like an amazing school. This was one of the best videos I've seen in a long time. It was funny yet educational at the same time. I've always loved BMW bikes and this shows how great they are along with the people who work there.

glad you finally got to ride ADV bikes in their element. Those BMWs are huge compared to regular dirt bikes but with the right skills you can really go just about anywhere on them. I take my F850 GS on everything from cross country trips to random trips to the dunes and the trails around my city.

The most impressive thing about these bikes is how they can do all this, but are still capable of comfortably riding you around the world with no problem

Fantastic video!!! I did this course two years ago and loved it!! I crashed and got hurt in the gravel pit on day two, so didn't make it to the sand! You are inspiring me to go back!!! Btw, especially good job on edits and talking about your brother in and your Dad! That put a smile on my face!!!

Been Riding for 52 Years and I love to continue to learn new skills... Fun to watch! I am still riding My 2009 BMW R1200 GS. I'll be 68 next month and stopping is not on my menu! Great Job Guys! A dream for me, thank you for sharing.

I think this is my favorite video from you guys, I like to think I know what I’m doing on my old fxr, but I am definitely learning some things from this video such as the loose sand and gravel. I’ve ridden through loose sand on that bike and almost dropped it. When you guys were saying that the bike wants to do it’s thing I didn’t realize that at the time but that’s exactly what I was letting it do, I just stood up and just let the bike do its thing. I like this video a lot because it helps me learn more about riding and how to be a better rider.

Like what you have done with your new format Sean with all the different types of motorcycling and adventuring I got my first motorcycle when I was 17 and have ridden a few bikes since then as I'm now retired but still have a motorcycle and ride from time to time and it still feels good but out in the country it's generally not a problem with cars or people not paying attention it's in the city and then it pays to be a defensive rider but I believe you should always be one . But you still need some skills to help get yourself out of trouble if it's not experience it's a motorcycle course most states require them now before you can get a license which is good but experience is a good teacher. Been watching for a couple of years now and be careful and ride safe my friend God love ya

Great video ! So good to learn off road skill set as it helps your road riding too. You stay calmer when sh@£ happens on a greasy road and that gives you a better chance of saving it.

I am so excited to learn that you were here in SC at the BMW course!!! Those folks are great!

IMO... The best part of this is the ability to not worry about dropping a bike. That is the only way I ever learned and had fun in the dirt. Push yourself and not worry. I've always felt an inexpensive, good running, "beater" GS would be great to learn on. Unfortunately even old GS's are all pristine. I'd hate to trash them!
