I first met Ann and Keith Thye in 1995 just after they had taken ownership of what was to become Ride West BMW. I was trilled to learn about their plans for the dealership and even more excited when they asked me to be part of their plans to make Ride West BMW one of the top dealerships in the US. It has been fantastic to see how Ann and Keith have been able to transform their business in to a world class Motorcycle Adventure Touring Company.

Today you have a place where motorcyclists from near and far come to call Ride West BMW their Home Port, a place where you know that you will be taken good care of. What I think has made the biggest different compared to many other dealerships is the way Ride West BMW treat their customers. Not only can one purchase accessories, but the dealership offers seminars and lectures, rides and swap meets, a full service department, and even insurance can be purchase in house. There are activities all year long, always something of interest for anyone.

I am very privileged and honored to be working together with the staff at Ride West BMW in making the BMW brand known to a broader audience. As the owner of GlobeRiders, I have clients come from all parts of the country and even from other countries. In preparations for our adventures I never hesitate to recommend Ride West BMW as their service center or even a good place to purchase their next ride. If you ever need a good BMW dealership, take my word for it, you will not be disappointed with Ride West BMW.
