Great pics, RNG. Sounds like a great trip as well. Been many years since I've seen an R80 Paris-Dakar, probably early '90s at BMW Motorrad of St. Louis while I was there for service on my R100RT. Fun-looking bikes.
The nine gallon tank on the R100GS here is from an R80 G/S PD, and was purchased from that St. Louis dealership when I passed through there in '03. My buddy and I were on a coast-to-coast-to-coast motorcycle ride, and the dealer said the tank had been ordered several years ago and never picked up. Got a fair deal on it, and now it's probably worth twice what I paid for it. The next project is to get one of the two R80 G/Ss in the rafters put back together and back on the road, hopefully in time for a little fall riding.
