IMHO: To learn, 1) Shed your luggage and go riding with a bare bike. 2) Pick a chunk of road to train on. Start nice. Sand, gravel... but no big rocks to crash into. Then ride. You are going about 10-15 mph too slow to make the bike float on sand. 15 mph you will fight the bike. 30 mph and the bike will float. Once you get the hang of staying on top of sand/gravel, then add a bit of luggage. Perfect that... add a bit more luggage... etc.

Good for you, sir! Keep up the good work.

Holly Mole that was just a trail and it shows that the admost was pushed out of man and machine ... but you did it and German craftsmanship or should I say German / Indian / US American cooperation did it ... good performance ..

We are about the same skill level, but I would not ride that trail alone. You are braver than I am.

Looks like a fun loop. I'm going to have to try before it gets too hot. I've been exploring Anza Borrego and Octillo Wells these last couple weeks.

Watching you is like seeing myself on my 750GS - I have experienced the same difficulties, mistakes and emotions. You’re doing a great job! Thanks for the “real life” video that is very instructive and encouraging.

Enjoyed this video. Tough sledding through all the sand.

Love the videos! Doing a lot of learning myself in adventure riding. Good Stuff 🎉

great video and my first fall is coming sure I bet 😀, new fan of the channel

Great video. I am doing this trail tomorrow 😅. Not sure if this video made me more confident or less. 😮. Happy riding my friend. New subscriber.

You've got her loaded up.

Hi from Australia Im thinking about down sizing from my GS1200 to the 310. what screen have you got and does it deflect the wind over your helmet on the highway (how tall are you) what extras did you put on your bike. enjoying you vids .

Thank you for producing that travel log. You certainly put alot of work into it. Did you upgrade the front shock too?

NICE . can you please advise the name of side carriers and soft panniers being used . looks very clean and tucked

Did you air down your tires? What pressures where you running? On soft sand you have to keep your speed up.

Awesome videos! Have the same bike and debating on upgrading OEM tires. What tires do you have and how are they on road and off road?

Nice riding…Do you carry an InReach and tire changing tools?

The fat tire minibikes we used to have would dominate in that deep sand! I don't know what kind of vehicle you have now, I assume it's a Tacoma? You could carry one (TrailMaster Hurricane 200X Minibike) out to places like that and then go nuts without ever getting hurt. They're so close to the ground that if you do fall (I have) it's no big deal. Haha. Plus they are only $1,300 new so if you total one it's no big deal. There are mods you can do to make them go faster. I see guys doing 50 or 60 mph on them and some guys make them street-legal. I'm not saying to get rid of the Beemer. But it's always good to have more than one toy to have fun with! But as far as the BLM camping goes, we did a bunch of that the first two years we went full-time! We would camp for months on end out in the desert since we had a ton of solar, it was awesome! I highly recommend getting into trail camping, especially if you have someone with you. It's a blast.

бедный мужик.... разворачивайся домой.. ну его эту рыбалку)))

Two wheelers are always like that,need a practice no matter what the bike is that, ducati or kawasaki , two wheels is not a car, everybody always experience crash soon or later.

Nice riding! I’m thinking about getting a 310gs and I was just wondering how tall you are and if it feels tall to you? I am 5’ 10” with a 30” inseam.

One short notice. The stiffnes of the shocks aren't made for sand

Great video!. What tires are using?

Since you have the ability to remove the rotopax easily, you should at least do that when lifting the bike. Also I suggest lifting with your butt facing the bike. As far as sand goes, the main thing you should worry about is burning out your clutch. Just make sure you give it a rest if you’re slipping it a lot. Otherwise take what people are saying about going faster over the sand with a grain of salt. You’re not on a dirt bike and you’re alone. Keep it safe and controlled. I’d say the thing is to identify the sand ASAP, enter it at a safe speed and smoothly accelerate through it. What you wanna avoid doing is coming in too hot and trying to slow down in it which will shift all the weight to your front end and make you lose control. Safe travels!

Just found your channel. I'm planning trips on BDR section 1, Bradshw trail, then this. If you're in far south SD hit me up.

do you still have the 310?

Couldn’t divert in time?😂 just say you forgot to turn brah
