My BMW story:
Posted February, 2021
Welcome to the BMW MOA Family!
CAROLINE -OREGON
When I met my husband over 40 years ago, he was quite impressed that I knew how to ride his Can Am 175 by saying “Is that 1 down and 4 up?” I did have brothers, after all. Leap ahead 30 years: Not wanting to be left out of the excitement to ride alongside my 16-year-old son, I ventured in to the local BMW Motorrad Dealer Hansen’s and threw my leg over a 2009 BMW f650GS and I was hooked!
My current bike is a 2017 BMW f700GS that I have riden 18,000 plus miles despite having to battle and conquer breast cancer. #survivor
I have toured 10 Western states on three different bikes and am now planning our next adventure: Touring the country with our two BMW GS’s loaded in our toy hauler RV. Yes, I talked that spouse of mine into purchasing his 2019 BMW R1250GS… and he thanks me every ride!
It is with pride that I share my story to encourage women riders as there is no finer way to “see the world” than with handle bars in your hands.

1986 - Racing Sand Lake in Tillamook, Oregon on my Yamaha YZ 125.
A jumping contest in Christmas Valley, Oregon. Guess who won? I think I made it 35’ in the air with a distance of 60 feet! 😅
Jumping, racing, and playing in the dunes on the various 3 wheelers… some of the best times we ever had. (With or without helmets. 🤣)
