I was trying to think of something to do this weekend. Maybe this would be good.

It appears that any bike can be an off road bike, all you got to do is ride it off road.

Probably should use a Wing that won't be missed if you fall off a cliff or put a rock through the case, because you ain't packing it out.

Re: Off-Roading On A Goldwing
I've done a bit of it on the South-ish coast of Oregon back up in the woods of Coquille, OR.
wet... muddy ruts... almost single track... recommended only for 4WD vehicles... in the fog.
yeah, it can be done on a '78 'Wing. but it's harrowing. especially with a fully laden body bag sized duffle full of camping gear slung over the pillion.
enjoy!
