Ribfest to be a benefit for Lee Waggoner

Ribfest 2013 is now a 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.

BMWMCON - donating the proceeds of the rally

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.
