    Taking a 310 GS on (goodish) dirt roads…your opinion please

    Bmw 310 GS - Review

    True - but dealer back-up and support is also a consideration - especially if - like me - you have 2 left hands and 10 thumbs.  Peace of mind and the BMW on call makes a trip less stressful.

    Bmw 310 GS - Review

    My experience - Can do 140 on a good day, but comfortable at 100 - 110. Handelbars are soft - my son fell and bent them in the braking exercise at Country Trax.  Trying to Source alternatives.

    Gamkaskloof / Die Hel road condition?

    I went down yesterday and back up today.  A few river crossings with some tricky rocks.  The road has already started washing away with the rain today - and some clay type mud.  Not recommended for a newbie.  Down time was apporx 2 hours, took 2.5 hours coming back up.

    Baviaanskloof trip advice

    Your day 1 is quite a distance and day 2 short.  Maybe stay in Oudtshoorn the 1st night then to Kareedouw - makes the distances a bit more even and manageable.  The Baviaans itself is in a rough condition and will take at least 4 hours - maybe even longer depending on your skills.
