BMW BASIC OFF ROAD TRAINING PART 1

Michael and Robert return for 2018 BMW basic & ADVANCED off-road training organised by Muhamet Latifi, brand manager at AGMC BMW Dubai.

[@Avensur]

Congratulations guys! What an amazing training day of off-road basics. Stupendous mates. This are the most indeed basic skills you need to start the journey off tarmac. Let's go guys. Godspeed

[@tamasgal_com]

13:48 what a nice catch from a beginner, great!

[@cocontreras]

Excellent videos! Thanks for sharing this summary of your training, there are instructors that just don’t share the videos which is bad since you don’t have your reference for practicing after your training. So thumbs up to you!

[@balmhanna1]

Carlos, Michael and Robert have always been open about their method of training and they welcome the idea of spreading good information for all off road adventure riders. They are very popular guys. Thanks for watching, part 2 coming up hopefully this weekend, just need to put final touches.

@Chad Samson instablaster =)

[@chadsamson1005]

@Zeke Lee Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@chadsamson1005]

@Zeke Lee it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thanks so much you saved my account!

[@joedoe7506]

great! that's what i was looking for! thanks!

[@Arachnoid_of_the_underverse]

I enjoy seeing your videos they are well made and contain really good pointers for riders

[@balmhanna1]

Andi, your welcome. Thanks for your kind comments.

[@patriciabramble6704]

Love this bike, but leaning more to the r 1250 rt as my husband and I won't be doing off-road riding. In our country Trinidad and Tobago, we do more road and highway riding here

[@zzxx33mh]

Yes..another enjoyable vid..with thrilling music😎..

[@oceandrew]

Totally disagree... music tempo was 5-10x faster than what was going on in the video. Music for a car chase (high adrenaline) is hardly appropriate for slow riding in the desert. And this was just in the first 4 mins. If there was a way to turn down the music but not lose the narration I'd be happy.

[@subhasishkarmakar6737]

Very good video.. I learned lots of thing from it.. Oh wait... I don't have the bike 😫

[@eyalgolan26]

Great video!!!

[@tripleblackpieman6116]

Excellent vid. Do you have more content of the instructor demos and explanations? We don’t have BMW rider academy training down here in NZ, so it’s hard to find professionals to learn from. Was the lowering to 1.5 bars for both tires?

[@balmhanna1]

This event is organised by our Dubai dealer and specifically Muhamet Latifi (brand manager). You can always ask your local dealer to arrange a training if you have enough riders willing to sign up. Your dealer can arrange to fly in Instructors for you. As for the 1.5bar. Yes front and rear. Also, I’m not an instructor or qualified to give instruction. Good luck.

[@lc_solucoes_eletricas2020]

Gostei, muito bom, parabéns.

[@josemanuelcarvalho6413]

excellent movie!!

[@rogernewman4400]

1250 gs after just over two years then bort a tiger 800 wish i bort it from the start love it ..

[@LT-ke8xh]

What is the blue bike with the white accents/frame? Is that a F800gs?

[@juanarboleda]

Nice, thank you for share with us

[@gingaballs]

very good.thanks

[@kloppskalli]

any cracked cyl covers thanks to the mediocre protection of the standard crashbars?

[@Kranfuehrerprofi1972]

Top Technic to pick up the bike....

[@kss6594]

GS is made for above 50 guys from Europe and US.

[@thedevmachine]

How can you attend this training?

[@ericswild]

What is 1.5 bar? in psi?

[@balmhanna1]

22psi

[@TheFransVenter]

Ever heard of google?

[@cocontreras]

Is there a part two for this video?

[@balmhanna1]

Carlos Contreras yes. If I mange to finish it today. I will upload it. Just need finishing touches.

[@hohotantan7201]

The trick is to ride the bike like a BMX at low speeds and ride the bike like RR at high speeds.

[@Ronbassettphd]

The first time I saw a GS and that was many many years ago I asked myself who in the hell would want a bike that heavy to ride off road in very rough terrain. I'm still waiting for an answer.

[@balmhanna1]

Ron Bassett dearest. How long did you ride a GS for? How long did you own a GS for? And what terrain did you put a GS to? After my 3rd GS LC, guess what I got? Yes a brand new 2019 GS adventure 1250 HP. I asked myself who would buy anything else? Warm regards and thanks for watching.

[@rhllnm]

Because when you drop it it only goes down half way due to the cylinders. Piece of cake, try picking up a flat dead on the ground KLR, not a piece of cake. Though I sold my BMW (airhead) after having the cylinders break both of my feet in a crash.

[@glideslopRM]

why 1.5 bar on the tire pressure?

[@balmhanna1]

when air pressure is reduce in the Tyre, it will make the carcass wider giving more room for friction and grip, which will also allow the rubber to be more flexible.

[@glideslopRM]

@@balmhanna1 does it take ti account the weight of the bike?

[@silverpredator4213]

@@glideslopRM Its not important, think about it that way, as long as a certain minimum is fiven the tire will give the shock of impact to the springs. Keeping this in mind like he mentioned it depends on the terrain you are in, in Sand a higher grip and softer tires are not a problem. On road you tire may pop if you ride it extremly hard

[@hygienebcpc3196]

How can we attend this training

[@hygienebcpc3196]

I would like to join this kind of Traning

[@arlenesauder1913]

Why would you turn off the ABS front brake

[@balmhanna1]

Arlene Sauder I will send your question to Mike. Thanks for asking and watching.

[@balmhanna1]

Arlene Sauder Michael replied with the following. “Comes from earlier times as the abs was not suitable for off-road and thus needs to be deactivated. Also you can train your skills for non abs bikes... with enduro or enduro pro abs not any more needed to switch off abs at all”

[@Eivogel1985]

To use the rear brake to corner very fast during driving

[@Vara91391]

Training Session 1: How to lift heavy bikes. All good, now please in muddy or deeper sandy conditions. Zero chance, lol.

[@balmhanna1]

Vara not at all, this is why we have the advanced training. There’s an answer to everything, you just need to know it.

[@JuJu-qr5cy]

Kudos to the one red africa twin 😉

[@hertzkot]

Nice video editing, pity about the rider skills...

[@ironhorsegladiator5034]

Why did this organizer picked a dumping ground where waste is collected, they should all be checked for possible radiation.

[@TheFransVenter]

The lesser of two evils! If he takes you into the dessert you could die! 😜

[@jeremysmith9898]

no don't lower your air pressure. go get some better training

[@jimboking]

More motorcycle sounds...less industrial metal. Could not hear the instructor

[@aussiesam01]

Why the persistent AWFUL music? It just ruins your video.

[@robertkrar8498]

I see you aren't the best driver out there...

[@balmhanna1]

Hi Robert. It’s not about one rider. This is a group organised by BMW Dubai, for gathering and having fun only.

[@robertkrar8498]

@@balmhanna1 Sorry mate, I think my son just trolled us. He posted this on my behalf as I realised :-) Good training by the way! Sorry again and TAKE CARE!

[@ronaldhenry4057]

Terrible music - dominates and ruins the video.
