More than 700 big bike riders braved the early NLEX traffic heading to the Laus Event Center in San Fernando, Pampanga for the last big Breakfast Ride this 2018.

Unlike previous BMW Motorrad Rides, the said ride was open to all brands which made the event an even bigger success as riders from other brands were present. It was the biggest Breakfast Ride ever organized by BMW Motorrad.

As the riders ate a sumptuous breakfast in the very comfortable venue, they were surprised that the event was more than just a breakfast ride.
