    If you're in a colder/wet part of the world, heated grips are almost essential for adventure riding. There is nothing worse than frozen fingers with wet gloves while trying to constantly clear your visor of water/mud and then using the clutch and brake. You can get away with not having them, but having them is like +10 moral and comfort boost that you never knew you needed.

      If you want to talk about motorcycles, why not mention the return of the 250cc screamer, in the form of the mad 17,000rpm Kawasaki ZX25R. I know it's not a 20,000rpm CBR250RR, but it's the closest thing in years, and it comes with modern shit like ABS and adjustable traction control, a QUICK SHIFTER, and a telemetry app for track days. They're seriously silly.

    Rediscovered my passion & love for motorcycles a couple years ago after one of my best friends passed away that I use to ride with a lot as a kid. My love for them definitely saved me from and pulled me back out of really bad depression. I'd worked on cars over half my life at that point and almost exclusively transitioned to repairing & restoring motorcycles & has been one of the best things I've done for myself in a long time. I still love cars, whether it's just simple repairs or modifying them but despite the circumstances that brought me back to them I'm so happy I fell back in love with motorcycles. Not to mention they're one of the cheapest forms of fun within power/motorsports for the money.

    The weather was abysmal, i got off the ferry into gale force winds and sideways rain, but i saw nature as few would see it (the sensible people being inside) but what fantastic memories and being as uncontactable as good sense permits was a revelation. Too often it feels like any moment not spent working on goals is moments wasted, but that couldn't be further from the truth.

    Also, would be super interested in a disrespected nose type video of your camping trip testing the mods

    Love the bike Moog. Some nice additions, a few of which we use pn ours as well. Got my start at 5, 81 yz 50, and still love off road rides. Wife and I picked up a used Ural Ural Sportsman a few years back, so the dog can also come with.
    Sadly, I don't get much riding in currently. Right leg was amputated in 21, due to an infection, above the knee. Havs the prosthetic, getting better with it, and yes, have gotten out on 3, and on 2, mainly the 90 YZ 125. Using it to try out rear brake mods, that work with the T 800 leg, as my ex calls it.
    Plenty of falls, anx just as many stand ne and the bike back up, ride, and repeat. That's the number that matters, not the falls, but rising back up, and trying again.
    Did sell some of my big bikes, Goldwing, and the VTX 1800, but kept the small and middle weight ones. Already planning Sturgis in 25, as it's also the anniversary of a friend's wedding, where I was best man. Lost her dad a few years ago, and my daughter's biological father walked her down the aisle.
    She asked me to walk her down the aisle for their 25th. I accepted.

    Many further adventures were had on that bike, mostly with my dog Cowboy in the back. Gibb river road, Dampier peninsula, heaps of unnamed Kimberley back tracks.

    Hello from Colorado. I got my new CT125 just a month ago {after a 60 day wait} and really enjoy it. I had a little trouble getting used to the heel/toe shifter but have figured out what works best for me. The only mod I've done so far is to paint the rear rack with truck bed liner paint so the factory paint wouldn't get all beat up. I'm still considering adding a crate or box of some sort for the rear so I can haul a few more things than will fit in my backpack. Just ordered some merch from you guys...got a short "Chopped" keytag for the Honda in red of course!

      New Years update=I bought some knobby tires and a 13 tooth front sprocket to help out with off road conditions. Going to get them installed as soon as we get some warmer weather here in Colorado and then ride it like I stole it!! Happy New Year!

    This is exactly why I just bought a grom last week and got offroad tires. I'm into cars, I have a few projects. But the car scene and the entire world it seems entirely has become so toxic, hectic, and uncivil that it's just nice to have the freedom to clock out from the world and do my thing. It also makes a fantastic daily. I highly recommend one. Especially for people with mental health/life issues. It's absolutely amazing therapy.

    ..absolutely love your bike content as an extra bonus gold nugget to the channel, the CT is awesome and you have converted me on that, two of my mates are man and wife and have CTs on their way, they've built up to it on C-90s... since seeing your new vehicle experience video, I've decided to bite the bullet and go for a 1st new vehicle experience which ticks one bucket list box and the other has been to own a yellow vehicle as mad as it seems, so my one and only ever new vehicle will be Banana yellow "as a clue" and a drastic downsize from a 900 ninja!.. I have finally wised up to the fact small bikes make for big adventures (there is a fb group of the same theme) anyway to cut a long story short, this is the best two wheeled small bore modifying channel in Australia... ps I'm starting to come around to think about offering to give you my old X-90 from UK as I think you'd look after it and put in the work needed to make it great again and maybe make it famous, 🤔 my most loved nugget that fell from grace..

    I've not even watched all the video yet but I have to agree with you on the CT110. We had one on my grandparents farm for such a long time, they're a great bike and are so fun to ride. We had other dirt bikes but this is the one that I loved the most. I have memories of somehow burning my leg on the exhaust when I was riding back up to our shed, great times were had with that bike

    Great to see the postie getting some mods. Moog, you singlehandedly convinced me to buy one of these with your previous video. There's not many in Aus but I managed to snag one 2nd hand a few weeks ago. I think I enjoy riding it more than my sports bike
    I actually just finished my own initial adventure bike mods including some similar to yours.
    - mine already had the front carrier above the headlight and in front of the seat
    - I added the exhaust crash bar and taillight bar like you have
    - Also added wider engine guards, a headlight surround crash bar and a side carrier similar to yours to carry a Jerry can and support a side pannier bag
    - collapsible milk crate and cargo net to the rear rack
    - Added an OPMID multimeter - better backlight than stock speedo + clock, tachometer, gear indicator and temp sensor
    The aftermarket support for these bikes in Japan and Thailand is impressive. All parts were purchased through WeBike Japan and Beezdeals in Thailand. All mods cost less that $1500 including shipping.
    These are great entry level bikes for offroading, or just motorbikes in general. They are expensive here in Aus but much cheaper in Thailand. You could buy one new, ride around Asia for a few weeks and sell it back for less than the cost of shipping a bigger bike over 1 way.
    Looking forward to what you have in store for the bike

      @@danx7143 it took probably 2-3 hours all up. the unit came with pretty detailed instructions, and there is a very helpful instructional video on youtube about how to install it and set it up. Hardest part is getting the bike's plastics off without damaging them. The clips aren't the most easy to work with

    • @SamuraiAwesome
      @SamuraiAwesome Před 7 měsíci

      @@bayyoung The gear indicator is a bit fiddly. The bike doesn't have a direct gear indicator port, so it works out what gear you are indirectly based on the engine speed and revs. Sometimes struggles to find the gear while idling and stationary. While moving its accurate most of the time.
      The biggest advantage of it is visibility. The stock display has a very weak backlight and is basically invisible in daytime. Opmid is much brighter and with better contrast

    I have all kinds of mods done to mine. I would definitely look into getting knobbies on it .The stock tires suck in any real mud. Raise the front fender because once mud gets packed up in there it will actually freeze up the front tire and you will crash. Handlebar Center brace Is worth its weight in gold even the cheap ones. The first time I crashed mine hard ,my handlebars were trashed. I also dropped a tooth in the front sprocket. Not necessary but helps with hill climbs and getting out of things like sand and deeper mud holes. I will say this though, putting off-road tires on it will cause you to lose a little bit off the top end speed . As will gearing obviously. Great video bro 👍
