Afry 1 Posted April 30, 2015 Depending on when and where I'm in but my baby still has street tires so I might only do a partial ride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oracle 195 Posted May 1, 2015 Depending on when and where I'm in but my baby still has street tires so I might only do a partial ride. Or you could put some knobs on it like any self respecting dual sporter would do... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Afry 1 Posted May 1, 2015 Kinda of enjoying it as a back country road rocket while the tires wear out, plus I'm cheap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MacDuncan 133 Posted May 4, 2015 Hmmm, vintage, antique, retro, classic, .... or old, or worn out.... , just like me - haha. Just yesterday, as I rearranged the garage, I opened a gap wide enough so I could actually pull out a bike that I haven't ridden for quite awhile..... so I zipped around the neighborhood on my 1983 XT 550. Here is a pic from last year wandering around all of the ravines near Picacho, mostly two up too . likely only one more - " run what I brung" for me before I let it go!

Afry 1 Posted May 7, 2015 Will somebody please buy this vintage dual sport so we an see it in action! http://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/mcy/5005741522.html Exceptionally nice, original BULTACO 116 Alpina 350. This bike runs, shifts and rides just as it did when new over 40 years ago. The odometer shows less than 1500 miles. It is registered for street use with a California license plate. This bike was Dual-Sport before the kids knew what that meant. The Alpina 350 is regarded among the best all purpose vintage trail bikes ever made. You can take this out on single-track, fire-roads or the desert and have fun all day. Dead-simple to maintain and operate. Caswell lined tank for today's fuel. New Chain, cables. $3,200 OBO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
