    Recent Solo Tour - 1982 GS1100GL

    Hi - just wanted to share some pics of my bike on a recent trip I took from Chicago out west to Glacier Nation Park in Montana.

    I did not see a single other GS on the road the entire trip (it was lonely out there), let alone another bike from the early 80s.

    Sturgis was going on, so there were many bikes on the road and just about everyone I talked with was pretty decent even if they didn't have the respect for an old GS1100 that I do.

    Pics:

    Cool. Do you have more pics? I just see two. There must be more for 4000 miles of solo riding!

    '06 FZ1000 - "What we are dealing with here, is a COMPLETE lack of respect for the law."

    I ride, therefore I am.... constantly buying new tires.

        There's a hug Chicago GS comtingent... If we knew you were going I would have least made the attempt to get out there and give you a send off... or at least an escort to the limits of my fuel range...

        Watch the meeting place as we have a get together this weekend and in september we have a galena trip planned.

          That's a ride I'd like to take on the Kwacker. I've never been to Glacier but would like to see it someday. The park has a great set of webcams here:http://www.nps.gov/glac/whatsnew.htm

              Cool trip. My dream tour is to take US 89 from border to border, starting up in Glacier. Someday, probably not till I retire.

                Actually, there are some more pics, but they look pretty much the same as those. Not having my wife with me, I just rode and rode. Every picture I took is the bike against some background someplace along the way. The two here are the best ones.

                I will definintely do that. I'm packed this weekend, but September to Galena would be nice. That was a great part of my leg home and I'd love to ride it again with some other bikes and riders.
