There is a UK company running gravel/dirt courses/tours here in Portugal.
They use around 25 BMW 1250 GS.
They have been seen north of Silves in the Algarve region.
On GB plated bikes.
Anyone that knows who they are ?

Re: Portugal
probably the local to me based UK BMW offroad school on tour with one of their experience jaunts
Re: Portugal
That'll be the BMW Off Road Skills tour.
I noticed Simon Hewitt (Welsh dakar finisher) put a story up a week or so ago, I believe Si Pavey was there too.
If you have facebook they posted about it too

Re: Portugal
Thanks,
I will send them a reminder.
I was almost killed yesterday of one of their drivers.
He was riving on the left side of the gravel road. No one told him that we drive on the right side here.
Fast, no observation and no care. And did not change side, when we met.
They rive besides each other and cover the road.
They cut blind corners .
They use public roads as playgrounds.

As if they were closed race tracks.
This is not a place where you don't want to meet 25 BMWs at high speed, coming around the corner, covering the complete road by running in two lanes.
I need to stay out of this area for the next 4 weeks.
It is a very beautiful area.
But I do not think that they have time to enjoy the view.
