MOA Getaways are hotel/resort based events for those who enjoy riding our Beemers to faraway places but don't camp. Some call these events rallies, but with crowds of less than 100 and a sense of exploration, this isn't the traditional motorcycle rally. The locations vary, but the concepts are the same - great roads, great food and great bikes.
April President's Corner & Mtg. Minutes
The meeting at Skyvue Restaurant and Lounge did not work out well. They opened late and had misinformed me about the facilities for a presentation. We were told we would have a buffet and then it was order from the menu. The service was very slow, the waitress put everything on one bill for about $210, so we had to figure it out ourselves.
All of this is to simply illustrate the difficulty of getting a restaurant to serve 25-35 people, order from the menu, pay with separate checks while tying up their banquet room on a Saturday for lunch. If you have a local restaurant that you like and think they may be interested in hosting a club meeting in a private, quiet area with no room fee or high minimum dollar order or number of people requirement, please check with them and let Adrian and me know . . . Cont'd. on the Newsletters page here.

Welcome to the Four Winds BMW Riders club, founded in the early 60's by a small group of BMW enthusiasts in western PA. The first Four Winds Rally was held in 1967. We host the longest consecutively running BMW rally in the country, predating the existence of any national BMW club. We're located in the Pittsburgh metro area and enjoy excellent riding here and in Ohio, West Virginia and Maryland.
