The gathering, held over brunch, saw members of the local biking community and motorcycle clubs celebrating their friendship over good food while feasting their eyes on the premium motorcycles on display at the BMW Motorrad showroom in Beribi.
Seven of the latest motorcycles from the German automaker were showcased during the event, ranging from popular adventure and sports bikes to café-care models.
Several new 2019 bike models were announced during the event, including the R1250GS and R1250GS Adventure, as well as the redesigned S1000RR superbike.
