BMW Motorrad has launched a new online network which will revolutionise the way people plan tours, meet friends, and share their experiences. The BMW Motorrad Community, which is now live, is a social networking tool with a difference, as it is more about the real world than the virtual one. Members have access to a range of tools, including TourFinder – a simple way to plan an expedition of any length and level of riding experience.
BMW launches new website
The aim of the community is to provide a platform for people who share a love of riding to find each other, arrange trips, and spend more time than ever out on the road. The BMW Motorrad Community is split into four main areas: TourFinder, Profile, Photos, and Meet and Ride. TourFinder is one of the most exciting features, offering huge scope for planning and discovering tours lasting anything from a day, to more than a month, and from a single kilometre, to more than 10,000km.
Meet and Ride is another key area within the community – it allows users to find each other and organise a ride. The My Profile section is an opportunity to share photos, videos, riding tips and more with either friends, or the whole community. The Photos function provides the opportunity to browse others’ images of their machines, or sights and scenery from tours they’ve taken. Users can contribute their own shots if desired.
The BMW Motorrad Community is easy to use, and while it provides members with an excellent online experience, the aim is not to create a virtual world with virtual bikers and rides. The network is intended to get people out on the road, find them riding companions and to help people share their passion and knowledge. Visit www.bmw-motorrad.com/community to explore and join in.
