In 2008 we will once again organize our bi-annual international GS-convention.
This event shouldn’t pass unattended for any GS-rider!
The event mainly addresses the GS- and Funduro-riders amongst the BMW-riders. Also, participating riders should equip their bikes with some off-road or dual-purpose tires to be able to enjoy this event to its full extent.
All other BMW-riders are of course free to join in and enjoy the great atmosphere and barbeque on Saturday evening.
The main theme of this basic-event is “comfort and friendship”, you will be able to meet and bond with other international BMW-riders and their bikes.
The GS-convention will take place during the extended Easter weekend starting from Friday march 21st till Monday march 24th 2008
During this 6th edition of the convention we will go back to our roots at the “De Fiertel” domain which has been completely renovated. We have hot showers, sanitary, a big dining room and also a 50.000 m² terrain to our disposal for the weekend.
This year Easter comes early, so the temperature will probably still be pretty low so an extra blanket and some warm clothes will certainly prove their worth quick enough.

The program consists of a sufficient number of off-road trips for the inexperienced and the experienced riders.This location will have very rough terrain during bad weather conditions so the use of off-road tires will be a necessity.
Also keep in mind that occasionally “biting the dirt” is part of the fun and should not be considered fiction. There will also be a number of “on-road” trips.
We can also rely on the cooperation of BMW Motorrad Benelux. What this means is still a small surprise. We will tell you more about that later.
For those with empty stomachs and a big appetite we will be serving soup, 3 times breakfast and a barbeque on Saturday evening. There’s also a snack bar. Also those who fancy a nice drink are not forgotten, we have a bar with the best Belgian beer available!
All of this will be placed in a setting surrounded by campfires.
