What’s New at 2016 Touratech Rally West?

Battle

The 2016 Touratech Rally is going to be spectacular (and hopefully not as hot as last year)! We’ve been working hard to put together a great experience for riders from around the world and you won’t be disappointed.

Our team of route-scouts are gearing up to start putting the amazing rides together for all skill levels. If you love motorcycles and an adventure, there will be something for you at the rally!

There are cool enhancements at the biggest ADV motorcycle rally on the west coast and here are some of the highlights:

Showers: There are going to be showers on-site, so you can freshen up after a long day in the saddle.

More space: The entire rally field will be motorcycle only! Campers can spread out a bit as the Overland Festival is still happening, but it’s across the street.

CAMPING

Better eating experience: There will be a large cafeteria tent with tables to sit down and eat, get out of the sun or just tell stories from the trail

More food: This year we have confirmed BBQ, Hot Dogs, Breakfast/Coffee, Mini Donuts and sandwiches so far. Yum!

SheADV Video Barn: The ladies of SheADV will be hosting our video barn this year and the video presentations will be seen on a Hi-Def screen

Women’s Program: Touratech partner, SheADV is coordinating a full slate of speakers, training, presentations and competitions for ladies that ride and the annual Thursday night meet n’ greet hosted by the northwest’s own, Dirty Girls is always a great kickoof to the weekend.

Live Music: Seattle classic rock cover band Big Luv will be on hand to rock on Saturday night. They’ll help us close the show with a bang!
