Earlier today.
Dirt roads around 8000 ft. elevation in the rocky mountains.
Looks like it's about time for another back tire.

Re: 1981 GL1100 "Dual Sport"
Some more dirt road riding.
This bike has done great hauling us many miles on dirt.
I'm suprised that more people dont take their oldwings off of the pavement.

Re: 1981 GL1100 "Dual Sport"
Just awesome.
I do take mine off the pavement since I live on a mile of gravel road
but I do not actively seek out gravel roads on my wing. For that i have my xr650r

Since there are not a lot of new posts lately,
I figured that I will give you guys something to look at.
Here are a few more pics of this orange bike, just riding around in the Mountains:
