500 Miles Across Wyoming! 1975 Honda XL350 vs 1969 Yamaha DT-1 | Common Tread XP

About this film
This Common Tread XP episode follows a motorcycle journey made on a 1975 Honda XL350 and a 1969 Yamaha DT-1. The choice of older machines sets the trip apart: the riders describe it as a step back in time, through a part of the country where dirt roads are especially numerous. The film runs for 51 minutes and 20 seconds, giving the journey room to unfold as a ride across Wyoming rather than a short detour or motorcycle review. Its focus is the expedition itself and the conditions the riders encounter along the way.
The journey
The plan is to travel from eastern Wyoming’s border with Nebraska to the state’s western border with Utah without riding on pavement. Over several days, snow, wind and mud become part of the journey. The description presents the crossing as an attempt, rather than confirming that the full border-to-border route was completed. The film’s travel thread is therefore both geographical and practical: moving across Wyoming on dirt roads while dealing with changing, difficult conditions on vintage dual-sports.
What to expect
- A Wyoming dirt-road expedition on two vintage dual-sports
- An intended Nebraska-to-Utah border crossing without pavement
