Throughout the event, Touratech DirtDAZE will offer a series of clinics on all things related to adventure motorcycling. You can pick and choose from any/all of the clinics, and most are included for free with your event wristband! Here are just a few of the topics:
- SUSPENSION DO’S AND DON’TS – Learn the most common mistakes of suspension setup, and get much more out of your bike! You’ll leave this seminar with new knowledge that you can immediately apply to your own ride. Presented by EPM Suspension.
- MILLIONS OF FACEBOOK FOLLOWERS AND TALES TO TELL – Triumph’s Ernie Vigil is a HUGE social media celebrity due to his outrageous stunts and down to earth approach to life and fans. He’s has great stories to tell, and this is a rare opportunity to hear directly from him. This will be fun.
- YOUR NEBDR – A 1,300 mile northeast adventure – Want to learn about the northeast’s very own NEBDR? Hear from the local experts who created it! From BDR’s website: “Crossing more state lines and covering more mileage than any other BDR makes the NEBDR one of the most diverse routes in the BDR series. Every state delivers a unique experience unto itself and while sections can be done over an extended weekend, riders who commit to the entire 1,300-mile route will truly feel as though they had an adventure of a lifetime.”

- THE DAY WE ALMOST DIED – Steve Kamrad of ADV Pulse will discuss how ignoring known weather conditions, and one wrong decision lead to many wrong choices and nearly required 3 highly skilled Adventure Bike riders to call for a helicopter rescue in the high desert of Nevada. A Marine, a Navy Seaman, and a RawHyde instructor push each other to their limits and then help each other survive exhaustion, dehydration, extreme exhaustion to the point of being delusional, and hypothermia in one day. Steve will touch on the all important topic of choosing the right bike for the challenge ahead.
