Four Winds BMW Riders
Riding from the Three Rivers to the Four Winds...

Pittsburgh Photo 2013 Ron Janoski 86Welcome 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.

anthony giannetti attorneyAnthony Gianetti, Vince's son, is a Pennsylvania attorney with Swarts, Culleton & Ferris, on a mission to educate motorcyclists about the importance of proper insurance coverage for due to the inherently higher chance of injury.  He was our guest speaker at a recent meeting.

The main points are buying a high level of Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage, and then choosing STACKING on all of your policies for BOTH motorcycles AND autos, as they can multiply each other (even when on different policies).  View or print his Handout HERE where he mentions specific companies, in their experience, who are easier or harder to deal with.  Full torte automatically applies to all motorcycle policies, therefore is not an additional choice or cost.  Please share copies of this handout with friends.

INVEST IN YOU  A new partnership between the BMW MOA Foundation and CHAMPIONS RIDING SCHOOL provides BMW MOA members the opportunity to train online to improve their riding skills for FREE!  A special discount on the popular online training course, CHAMPION HABITS: THE CORE CURRICULUM, reduces the standard $99.95 fee to only $39.95 for MOA members.  And, a guaranteed rebate from the MOA Foundation upon completion of the program allows BMW MOA members to gain online learning and improve riding skills at NO COST!  Not to mention a possible disount on your insurance.

ChampU is a complete video-based, online digital curriculum that mirrors the 2-Day ChampSchool and shares the same goal: make you an awesome motorcycle rider. The in-person 2-Day ChampSchool is a ton of fun, but it’s expensive ($3,000) and only available at a limited number of locations.

ChampU solves both of those problems by making Champions Habits (the techniques, approaches, skills, and the mindsets of the best riders in the world) available to any rider, at any location at an affordable price. World-class riding instruction is just a click away.
