BMW GS - On the road to Arlit
Loading...
Uploaded by pcpics on Jul 6, 2007
This is between the Algerian border at In Guezzam and Arlit in Niger. There is no road and you ride on the GPS or Compass heading for about a day and a half. "Long Way Down" have chosen the easier route... Though the Sahara is a special place wherever you may cross it.

I rode an XT on this track to Arlit in '86 on a wing and a prayer and got lost for a while relying on a compass bearing (the other guy - on a ratty BM road bike - didn't make it).
Today, as long as you're outdoors the GPS signal is the same RTW and has transformed desert biking for the better - but it helps greatly to relate your position to a paper map.
Check out my D Riders trailer from 2003, we couldn't have done that without GPS.
Nice clip pcpics! Would be nice to get out there again.

so whats the reason you want a beemer in a place like that, nice vid by the way!

Could someone tell me how good the GPS signal is out there in the desert? Ofc, on a trip like this you would bring compass and map but the GPS ain't that trusted is it?

We have been given plenty of good-natured banter about not using KTM's - This is the place where you really want a BMW...
