Benefit & fund raiser for Lee Waggoner's medical bills.

BMWMCON Ribfest - everything you need to know is here

This rally has been put on by Lee Waggoner for several years and he was joined by the BMW Motorcycle Club of Nashville for the last 3 years.


Lee fell ill & was hospitalized on 9/29/2013. He has since been dianosed with West Nile Virus. Currently he looks to have a long stay in the hospital and, at the encouragement & full support of his daughter, Ribfest will go on. Ribfest will now be a fund raiser to benefit Lee.

Off road training classes held 10/17-18.

We'll have lots of great gear and swag for a silent auction through the BMWMCON, GS Giants and Adventure Kartell.

Please join us for great riding, food, camaraderie but most of all to support our friend.

'Ya in, 'Ya out?

I was sort of planing on going, now definitely going, currently a starving student, but bringing some cash to donate. Lee is a great guy, was at the Biltmore RA rally hanging out with him and some friends. Looking forward to seeing great support for Lee at this event!!

The GS Giants Woods trials will be going on Sat @ Ribfest. Test your skills on your big dual-sport

I met Lee and two other guys, ( Hi Brian and Ben ) this summer down by the Cherohala Skyway. Awesome guy, sorry to hear this. Hope he makes a full recovery.

Lee's a cool guy, met him at MMM. Sorry to hear about this, hope he gets better soon. Donation sent.

looks like fun!

In!!!!

Please consider signing up. We'd like nothing better than to give Lee a few thousand dollars to help with his hospital bills.

To sign up, send your payment to support@blueridgeadventuretraining.com via Paypal. Any donation is appreciated but $149 is the minimum. Please specify your interest in the Thursday class or the Friday class.

I was a motorcycle instructor at the BMW Performance Center from 2010-2012 and will be teaching. Another instructor who still works at the PC has expressed interest in helping out. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.





Thanks for doing this, Blair!

Hey Kevin, we've got a group of 5-7 that will be there for Saturday. What time are the rides leaving? FYI I got everybody talked in to the trials course. All our prayers are for Lee's quick recovery, Love ya brother! This won't be the same without you there...

We are meeting out at Lee's farm tomorrow morning for another workday. Any mid TN folks want to help, PM me.

I can't make Ribfest but donation sent. Thanks for the link.

Thanks, friend.

Donation sent ! Get well Lee! Sending you some good Ju Ju!

Bump to help a fellow rider!

The rides will go out Sat AM. sorry but I don't know what time. My guess would be no later than 10.

We'll do the GS Giants woods trials course starting around 3 (unless we have a lot of participants & we have to start earlier )

We can use some volunteers to help score.

Jason, you bringin the big bike for the Trials course right? I'll be a judging, remember I like the cheap stuff!
