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.

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!
sorta bulldogged custom 1978 GL1000 - "geekster"
full Vetter dress 1979 GL1000 - "Barge" (currently down)
1986 1200 Aspencade - "Heart of Gold" - daily rider
1990 1500 Aspencade - It's ALIVE! but very, very naked. not in a good way.
1978 for $100 - project in worx
1978 from a previous member here - taking up space
my original '79 bought in '91 - replacing engine (eventually, maybe someday)
