CABDR North - Film Premiere
2024-03-16 16:00 - 18:30 UTC
Join us at MOD to watch the new North California Backcountry Discovery Route film! We’ll watch the film and have drinks and refreshments for everyone in attendance. It’s a great opportunity to plan a new adventure (Maybe the Mid-Atlantic BDR?), and to meet up with other ADV riders in the area!
We’ll also have one day only specials on in stock Klim gear so everyone can get suited up for their next adventure!
Backcountry Discovery Routes (BDR) is an organization that creates on-off road routes for adventure bikers around the nation! They’re releasing a new film about the first ride on their newest route, through Northern California. These routes, on top of being a blast to ride, are designed to lead riders through interesting places as well as small towns that may not see the level of tourism their natural beauty justifies.

Klim Day
2024-03-16 10:00 - 16:00
An in-store only, one day special on Klim apparel! Call or email Yvonne@goridemod.com for details!
Leading up to the BDR film in the afternoon, we’ll be offering specials on the best ADV gear we’ve got! We’ll also be joined by Klim’s own Jeff Nash, so this is your best opportunity to meet up with Klim experts to find the piece of gear that will suit your needs and fit you just right!

MRC at MOD October
2023-10-07 11:00 - 14:00
We’ll be joined by Jeff of Motorcycle Riding Concepts Saturday, October 7th!
Whether you’re a beginner who wants to learn to ride, an experienced rider who wants to keep their skills sharp, or you have a friend or family member who wants to learn to ride, this is the day for you to drop in!
Jeff will be able to answer questions about the licensing process, get you signed up for the MRC riding clinics, and more!

MOD Beginner Ride September
2023-10-01 09:00 - 12:00
By popular request, we’ll be trying out another style of group ride on a smaller scale.
Our typical group rides are destination rides that end at a nice place to eat lunch. They often go 100+ miles, may do stretches on large highways, and it’s up to you to find your own way back home.
This ride by contrast will be shorter, more local, and more welcoming to riders with smaller bikes that may not be fun to run down the highway at 70 MPH. If you’re new to riding in groups, this would also be a good ride to attend where you can learn some of the dos and don’ts of group riding.
The ride will both start and end at Motorcycles of Dulles. This ride is intended for beginners and riders of smaller bikes – not minibikes. Your bike should still be able to do highway speeds, even if we don’t intend to spend a lot of time going that fast. Think 300cc+, and able to hit 60 MPH for a while.
As with other rides, we’ll begin to meet up at 9AM, with kickstands up at 9:30!

FAQ
Am I allowed to ride my ABC XYZ, or is it only for BMW bikes?
We’re happy to teach all brands of motorcycles. The class is primarily focused on big ADV bikes like the R1250GS, but we’ve had riders train on everything from small ADVs like the KTM 390 all the way up to big Scrambler style bikes like the Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE.
If it has 2 wheels and will go off-road, you’re welcome to ride!

Can I sign up for both days?
Both days will cover the same material. We encourage riders to only sign up for one of the two days, to save a seat in the class so that more riders can come and learn.

What kind of tires do I need for the clinic?
Knobbies are welcome, but certainly NOT required. If your tires are described by their manufacturer as dual-sport, adventure, 80/20, or some similar verbiage, you’ll be fine. We’re looking for good traction in dirt and grass, not trying to set a hill-climb world record.

What skill level do I need to attend the beginner clinic?
Our clinics are designed to teach people who already know the basics of motorcycle riding. Off-road experience is NOT required (that’s why you’re attending!) but you should be generally comfortable riding and operating your motorcycle. If you’re brand new to motorcycling, give us a call about how to get started and you can play in the mud with us next year!

What kind of gear is required?
We plan this event late in the season so you can comfortably wear all your armor. You must at least have a DOT approved helmet, gloves, a shirt, long pants, and closed-toed shoes. Having a full set of gear is strongly encouraged.

Where is the clinic?
It’s about 5 miles south of Purcellville, VA. The event is being held on private property, and we don’t want to send our host’s address to thousands of people. Everyone who registers for the clinic will receive an email with the exact address and other important information at least 1 week before the event!

Will an intermediate or advanced clinic be offered?
Not currently. We plan to open intermediate and advanced clinics again when we are able to select a new property more suited to intermediate and advanced skills!

Is there a rain date?
No. Our instructors are touring the country teaching these classes and we can’t guarantee a rain date. If conditions are unsafe, we’ll cancel the clinic and offer credit toward our next Adventure Clinic. Note: These are adventure bikes! We won’t be canceling for a light sprinkle or a gentle breeze.

Can MOD loan or rent me a bike to ride?
For many reasons both legal and logistical, we can’t supply a bike for you to ride at the clinic. If you want to buy a bike and ride it at the clinic we can certainly help you pick one out.

Still have questions?
Send an email to Josh@GoRideMOD.com and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible!
