Message from the Head of BMW Group Classic
A message from the Head of BMW Group Classic – Mr Helmut Käs – to all BMW Club Members around the world.
Welcome to BMW Motorrad Club West Rand!
The BMW Motorrad Club West Rand is the natural home for a BMW Motorrad owner. Come join us as we explore Gauteng and surrounding provinces on our trusted motorcycles.
As a club, we get together on a monthly basis, the third Thursday of every month, to share stories and adventures. At this monthly Melee we host guest speakers, cater home cooked meals, and offer several raffle prizes.
This is normally followed by a Sunday breakfast ride to new and interesting venues.
For those that wish to venture a little farther out, don’t miss out on our regular weekends away.
We also plan various training sessions:
- First Aid training
- Rider proficiency training
- Track days
- Motorcycle emergency maintenance training
- Motorcycle off road training
- and much more …

Event Details
Come join on this new for the club dirt one-night-camp sleep-out. Just before you get too worried, there is also a tar option.
So, get your dome tent and air mattress cleaned out as this promises to be a great two days.
Depart: Sat 18 March, 08h01
From: Oaktree
Ride leader: Michael Brunzlik
Breakfast just past Bauhaus at the Bederf Koffie & Kie, next to the garage at Olifantsnek.
Thereafter the dirt and tar groups will split.
Tar route via Olifantsnek, Derby, Koster, Lichtenburg, Ottoshoop, Zeerust (Suggestion to stop for lunch at a suitable spot) and then to Marico Oog.
This route will be tar up to the farm (Marico Oog) there will be a ‘twee spoor’ dirt section from the turnoff to our campsite of about 2 kms.
(Total distance from Oaktree to Marico Oog ± 342km)
Dirt route via Olfantsnek, Buffelshoek, Silverkrans, Pella, Groot Marico (Lunch at the restaurant crossing of N4) and then to Marico Oog. ±270km
We will cover both tar and dirt on the route.
Charmaine will be following in a backup vehicle with bike trailer on the dirt route. The gravel road conditions this past weekend are considered to be fair with a few muddy spots, one that was quite difficult, but the rest all doable. We will assess the roads on the day and make the necessary route adjustments if need be. We do suggest that anyone wishing to join should preferably have a level 2 off-road qualification or similar capability on dirt.
Both groups should arrive from about 14h00 onwards at the farm at Marico Oog.
We will provide steak, wors, rolls and salad for a braai on Saturday evening, with eggs and bacon for breakfast on the Sunday Morning.
What should you bring: Dome tent, blow up mattress, sleeping gear, toiletries, snacks and drinks (snacks and drinks can go into the vehicle with Charmaine for the dirt riders) and a camping chair. Don’t forget to pack a towel into your toiletries! Pack a costume for a dip in the “oog” after we arrive.
There is a chalet ±4 to 6 sleeper available for those who do not wish to camp (separate fees to those below).
The costs are as follows: Marico Oog, R100 per tent and R80 per person.
Braai and Breakfast R250 per person.
So, to simplify the costs:
– 1 person (1 tent): R430.00
– 2 people (1 tent): R760.00
– 3 people (1 tent): R1090.00
All fees to be paid into the Club account to secure a booking

Site has a couple of central 220v power points (for cell charging, air mattress pumps and lighting, etc.), showers (heated by a Donkey, so we gotta start a fire on arrival). There are extremely dodgy cell phone signals (mostly none, especially during load shedding).
Return on Sunday:
The tar route can ride back from Marico Oog, Zeerust to Krugersdorp on the N4 that should be about 230km. Toll Road.
The dirt Route will be via Koster to Krugersdorp and will be about 200km.
All dirt guys to please ride together on the dirt and can split up once on the tar from Koster for those who might be in a hurry, etc.
