Photos from MOA National rally in Springfield, MO
A dozen or so Four Winds riders wound their way to a hot Springfield, MO near the Ozarks' great riding roads for the BMW MOA national rally in June. David & Greg from Fla. took the long way round, out west, until joing us there, as well as on to Meadows of Dan, VA for the Guzzi rally the weekend after.
We stayed in a variety of motels, air BnBs, and camping, but all enjoyed using the 4 Winds canopy as home base for much needed shade in the club camping section. There was a very good showing of vendors, bike shows, seminars, training and even an indoor GS dirt obstacle arena. Interesting local attractions included the home base of the Bass Pro Outdoor empire with aquarium and museums, historic Route 66 places, a civil war battlefied, a zoo and cavern tours.
Notice that infamous author Jack Riepe was sporting our 2015 red 4Winds T shirt during his seminars. He spoke at two of our rallies including his first in-person presentation to a group.

Four Winds 2021 Rally Photos are up!
Enjoy this year's photo album here! To paraphrase Dennis: "Four Winds rally Number 55 is in the History Books! I would like to thank everyone that helped out! Joe B, Diane, Ed T, Ed S, Gene, Jo Ann, Joe M., Don, (field events), and all the others that pitched in to make this another successful rally ... AND THE WEATHER!! First time in years - no rain all 3 days. A Huge Thanks to Kissell Motorsports for bringing the BMW Bikes for Test Rides! The Safety talk, "Coffe with Eric Trow" was entertaining and funny all while covering important riding issues! Sean's tire plugging demo is always an important topic! The Saturday dinner by a new caterer, Daddy's Main Street catering in Clarion was a big hit. Many door prizes, Restless Ray's music and the bonfire under a huge full moon were great! So THANKS ALL! If you haven't made it to one of our 55 Rallies ... You're missing OUT! Plan for next year, 56!"
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.
MOA Getaways are hotel/resort based weekend 
events for those who enjoy riding to faraway places but don't want to camp. Spread across the United States in bucket list locations, each Getaway provides a unique opportunity to ride some of the best roads and spend time with fellow BMW riders.
