What vintage Goldwing - GL1100?

Don't think you would make it on the GL1800.

The guy riding that trail in a blue t-shirt - damn! Not a run to Dairy Queen.

hate to lose it over the side...but she doesn't seem worried..!

 

[Geezer]

Nah. That looks like way too much work riding those heavy beasts on that road.

The old Vetter fairings were the icing on the cake. Probably reinforced already, if not they'll soon need to. Have repaired many, they tended to break just ahead of the front mounting deck. Imagine you just conquered that trail on your hotshot dirt bike while wearing expensive riding gear. Barely had time to bask in your manliness when some vintage Gold Wing deckers show up piloted by T-shirted riders. Too funny. They did miss one opportunity - should have been playing Ride of the Valkyries on their tape decks.

^ I was thinking more like the Benny Hill "chase music" myself

Goes to show if you got the guts and the skill, you can ride any motorcycle anywhere.

What's so hard about this - how is it different than an old man on a R1200GS ?

It's mainly different from the ones that never leave the pavement. Which is what, 99% of them?

7km of dirt road between me and the pavement. Can't count the number of times it's been suggested I need an "adventure" bike. Have had pickup owners that didn't want to visit on account of getting their trucks dusty. Eventually some adventure guy is going to say the same thing. Then I will pounce.

A Darkside GL1800 can do it

Also found this on the Dos Honduros YouTube site:




THANKS, CanadianFJR! Inspiration to find chunky dirt tires for my FJR, and (maybe) ride it to Atlanta, Idaho.

At first I thought they had just gotten off track. Looks like fun on a bike designed for it; hats off to the riders.

The FJR Adventure series can do that. NSrider and I followed CanadianFJR on some absolutely brutal roads.

I took Tammy on the Moki Dugway on the GL1800 a few years ago and almost have never recovered from that. Think I should show her this and tell her it's one of the planned rides for SFO?

Yes. Please have someone video it and post it here. You probably won't be in any shape to post for a while after that.
