When you said, "Other idiots like me." I just knew you were talking to me. 😂
Yup!
That’s how we know what tribe we belong too
Well said. He’s talking to all of us who are watching. Especially when he mentioned life with responsibilities.
I love our CT125 so much and resemble this remark as well. It is remarkable how hard it is to go anywhere without being stopped and asked about it or having someone share their favorite Honda memory.
Spartacus here too! - count me in! 🏍 😎
I totaled mine a few months ago when I T-boned a guy who ran a stop sign. The day my insurance check arrived I had another one in the garage. My two bone breaks are healed I just turned 77 last week and I'm ready for more adventure. Thanks for inspiring me along the way. I have a couple of other bikes but my Trail 125 is my forever bike. 😊
two bone breaks and back on the bike at 77 - that my friend is where I want to be in 20 years!!! bravo!
My hero!
I'm in the middle and ready to buy at 63! My 1981 CT70 carburetor is TOO finicky. And I'm ready for a slow roll (but get into 45 mph traffic) and at 6'4" my knees won't be up by my Ears anymore!! 😭😭 How hard to get one without silly mark-up?
LOL not laughing but am, same thing happened here on different bike.. destroyed both wrists an compound my right lower leg.. LOL oh well...im 67.. 13 busted bones in 33 places.. still rope..ride..mtn bike..climb.an.looking at newish DR650 or cb500x... .. Ya folks no fun at home!! Dont be pussies!! ( can i say that? ) lol but this dude on 125...hoooooly crap..ADMIRATION!! N THEN SOME
That is amazing. I'm also 77 and sold my BMW F650GS three years ago as it was getting too heavy for me. Maybe I should try something like this. Many years ago I had a CB125S with a whopping 12BHP. My wife and I toured on that little thing for years. I think this CT125 needs a few more BHP.
This guy is my hero. His self deprecating humour has me in stitches.
Thanks for stopping by - check out the TAT playlist if you get a chance!
Everthing you covered is true with my experience on my CT 125. Only thing that you missed, is the feeling of being 16 again. I am 72 years old and my first motorcycle when I was 15 years old. Feeling like 16 is an amazing feeling
Absolutely right - brings me right back to riding my Trail 70 when I was little. Awesome...
I bought a 1972 CT90 about 20 years ago,to use as an errand runner, and occasional trail bike. I carry it in my pickup when we travel, pulling a travel trailer. It’s perfect for running around rv parks, and exploring. Last summer I bought a brand new XR150L, and both truly ARE time machines! I started riding on a CT90, and moved up to an XL125 in my early teens. 50 years later, the circle has come back around! I have full size bikes, and enjoy them, but the small bikes hold a special spot in my heart, for the reasons you both mentioned!
I had a ct 90 with the low range was a beast.Would take you anywhere.Loved that bike!
Companies should be giving/loaning bikes to you for you to review. Nobody else in CZcams land is going to produce such an excellent review video. Very entertaining and informative. Thanks.
I’m down with that!!!
The stares I get from old men when I’m riding my 2023 (green) makes me giggle every time.
I parked in front of a Chinese bakery one time. I come out after getting my rolls and I’m met with 5 men within their 70’s ogling over my bike. I’m very proud of my purchase.
Now that is how a review should be done!
I liked the original with the low range selector. Put that little bike in low range and it would climb anything you were brave enough to go up!!
A tree if the bark didnt slip!!!
Also trail sprockets that were nearly as big as the back wheel.
The '21 Trail 125 was my gateway drug, thinking about getting a '71 CT90. Don't NEED it, but the beauty of the simplicity and limitations draw me to it.
When I hear guy speaking about Ed March with love and respect then he's my guy!
I love that guy.
Exactly how I see it!!!! could not have been said better. I'm at 23, 000 miles now on mine. Thanks!
Damn! 23k!!!
It's all your fault, You got me hooked! Thank You!!@@SomeGuyRides
you need to do a review! 23k nice!
One of your best videos! Honda should use this as a sales video! Entertaining and a honest review at the same time.
You hear that Honda?!
“…stop and smell the roses and the cow shit.” Put that on a T-shirt.
I agree.....but take out the roses 👌👍
It's been long enough that I should re-watch the TAT series. That really was pretty entertaining. Thanks for that.
That's a great idea! I don't have the means or family life to allow me to undertake an adventure like that, (I'd go at the drop of a hat if I did), watching him and JohnnyPow is the next best thing.
I relate! When children leave the nest we do crazy things.
I started a bucket list and it involves a bike too.
The beauty of the 90 and the 110 is the hi- low transmission. In the forest service in the 70s they put trail sprockets on the bikes. The rear sprocket was nearly as big as the back tire. They would go virtually anywhere, but not fast 😅
Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance right there. Very cool man
Ed got old really quick but I'm happy he's finally uploading a Video again.
I love Ed March!
My very first bike was a street Honda 90. The only problem was when the auto drivers got frustrated because it capped out at 45 mph. But, I learned 85% of my motor skills (riding) on it.
I believe starting on a small bike allows for a great learning curve with minimal potential for serious injury to person or bike.
I enjoyed this video. I had a Trail 90 (with the dual range gearbox) 45 years ago and was taken everywhere. It was my daily transportation and mini adventure bike. Come to think of it, almost every ride was an adventure on that bike! The CT125 really needs a dual range trans to fulfill its promise and make it a bike I couldn't resist.
Thanks for your efforts, cheers!
I fully agree. If one hasn't experienced what the low range can do, there is no way to understand.
thanks for watching! yeah - i'd love to experience the low range gearing. TAT Steve has an old original trail - I should have tried his out when I had the chance up in Maine...
@@SomeGuyRides I am still very pleased that Honda produced the CT125 paying homage to the iconic Trail90 and I will surely own one at some point.
Just wanted to share something....
One day, in the mid 70s, at around 10 yrs old, I rode up to a large gathering of various dirtbikes at the base of a steep hillclimb. "The pipeline" ...it was a fabled, local extremely steep hill climb that had folklore attached to it, with Noone actually witnessing anyone make it to the top. (Near the vary top it had sort of a shelf, that then went to near vertical)
As I rode up surrounded by all of these older kids on various bad@ss trail and motocross bikes, I immediately got picked on about my "moped", "girl's bike", "where's the gas tank?", "where's the clutch?"....ha ha ha. I had heard things like this before that also made me think that my CT90 wasn't cool or even made me feel ashamed of it.
I remember an older kid in particular on a purple Husqvarna 400 that was probably around 16 and especially mean, he pushed me over on my bike when I tried to stand up for myself. I sat quietly, fighting back tears, watching for sometime, as different bikes, screamed up the hill, blowing blue smoke, shooting rooster tails of dirt and rocks, with various bail outs. The jerk on the Husky was the only one that made it to the shelf about 3/4 of the way up with a roar of cheers.
I was an inexperienced rider, and had never attempted anything close to this. Without saying a word...I took off...smoothly and steadily, climbing that hill, avoiding the ruts and rocks...got to the shelf...straight up the last section to the very top, with a little pogo stick jump, turning the bike on the rear wheel and stared down at the group below me. There wasn't a sound...just a bunch of craned necks staring up at the "King", "the Legend" in silence and reverence. I didn't say a word either. I simply raised up both hands and gave a double middle finger salute.
It was too dangerous and I was too scared to go back down so I made my own way along the top of the Ridgeline, eventually finding my way to another dirt road. I never heard any of them make fun of my bike again and I never felt anything but pride for my Honda Trail 90.
Eric
Agree completely! My first new bike was a 1970 Honda Trail 90; I worked a split-shift at a gas station, in my Montana home town, so I had 5 hours free everyday. Almost every day I rode my trail 90 up in the surrounding mountains-(from town)- 10 miles paved, 6 mile dirt road and 6-8 miles on rugged horse trails, to a USFS cabin that made my world & my life- ‘whole’! I was a HS Junior-year 140 pound ‘pilot’, that loved that bike, (and could never have made it to the cabin, without that fabulous little switch that put the little beast, instantly, into low-range/ trail gear! That switch is gone, now, and so is this bike’s ability to climb on steep and rugged terrain!
I guess if you’d never seen (or experienced)- the massive difference the trail switch would transform the original bike from-and-into; well, then you couldn’t possibly understand how much they’ve neutered this bike’s ability. But there are a few out there, who know, how far behind this bike would soon be- on a genuine “trail ride”, if there was a good (original) Trail 90, in the group!
(It’s just a tragedy- compared to the true ‘potential’, that this bike actually would’ve had..!!)
We rented a 125 Honda (automatic) in Thailand , rode some of the steepest mountain road and never ran out of power. We were two people, totaling 320 lbs.
The ones in south Asia are about 20% more powerful because they aren't choked by emissions laws
I believe my brothers and I chatted with you last June in Virginia. We were riding the MABDR. We were wandering if you made it. Glad to see you survived and had a successful journey!😊
Great review, I have a CT125 as well and I don't disagree with anything you said about it!
What a fantastic video. I really enjoyed that. Your enthusiasm is so genuine and sincere. Thanks so much for posting and having so much love for your little Honda.
Holy crap, colonel sanders, thought it was only me, so much in common, love that trail 125, be safe
Awesome video. Thanks for the laughs!
The CT90 i rode in 1970-71 came equipt with a high low range leaver on the rear hub, very handy to get up those steep trails. :-)
wish they'd kept that...
I realy like your way if thinking. I fully agree that doing such trips gives you a feeling of accomplishment. I own a Vespa PX 80 (upgraded to 135 ccm)since I am 16. Now I am 35 and in the past 10 years or so I did a few trips through europe, each around 3000km. Its not comfortable, its not fast but there is something about it that makes me happy.
I learned about c90 adventures a few years ago. That was the first time listening to somebody whos doing similar weird stuff as I am. Glad to see that there are more such weirdos out there.
"unplanned dismount" is fantastic. NICE!
One of the Greatest Climbers Ever ( Alex Lowe) was asked, whom is the best climber n the world. He said.. " The one having the most fun"!! Soooo ya, that says tons! Great JOB!!
Good humour found here
¨Little Ugly¨ hahaha I received mine 3 weeks ago and I love it!!! (My ass can´t say the same...) Thanks for the brutally honest review!!!
3 things… 1-Nice review! 2-You’re funny. 3-Just get a different seat!
I feel exactly the way you do about the CT125, it brought me back to motorcycles. I want hi/lo range and the seat is the limiting factor for me to ride it more than an hour. Wish a good aftermarket was available. I don’t know how you rode it 5000 miles across the country. Keep up the great content.
The engine is also an extra underpowered 125. it could make 40% more horsepower, but Honda was cheap and just threw a kids pit bike engine in it.
Very interesting video about a very interesting motorcycle. It kept my interest from the beginning to the end. Go job! And, good job Honda!
If you liked this, check out the TAT Playlist!
Can't wait to get mine! Friends had the CT90 in the 70s, they also called it the "toilet seat..😊 What if Honda made a little bigger one, say 200/250..?
This is an example of how videos SHOULD be created
Sorry, I don't really like that motorcycle very much but I totally loved that video - superb! Thank you!!! :)
Many thanks!
I live in the Philippines and most bikes here are between 124cc to 150cc, I have a Yamaha snipper 155 single cylinder liquid cooled 4 valves and so far ive got over 3000 mies. I ride it everywere some roads are really crappy most not to bad but my wife And I never hesitate tp go on adventures .,it never fails to go.great video i am happy to have watched your video.
thank you!
Absolutely nailed it. Love mine, and love watching you love yours.
I don't know if I could love this video more than I do! It was amazing to see you use this bike the way you do and love it for what it is! I absolutey love my Trail 125 and will never let it go. Thank you for sharing!
Great review. Your TAT series on this bike inspired me to get my first bike at 62. Thank you!
Well done! As a fellow small bike rider i enjoyed watching all of this. Just subbed
Check out the TAT playlist - that was an epic trip....
Bro, it's like my inner voice is talking to me 😂😂😂
"Riding a toilet 🚽 on wheels"
If the CT125 was a 250, or even 300. I would be more interested. I love the look of the bike. Most people in my area sit around 60-70mph on all back roads. A 125 is to small :(
I too had a green Honda CT70. I now have the new CT125, and I love it. I also had the same type of bike way back in the day except it was a CT 90. Happy riding !😊
I had a yellow Trail 90 back in the day. I think I got it for under $400. I did like the High/Low lever for the tranny. It could pull stumps in the low range. Now I have a 1988 Elite 250, and it has now problems on highways. 65 mph is a sweet spot for it. Be nice if the new one was a 175. That would make it prefect.
Back in the early 2000s, I got a 1981 C70 Passport off of Craigslist that I cosmetically hacked into a fake Trail. Cut down the fairing, added knobby tires, a headlight grill, and extra racks. I dream about it to this day!
Awesome video, I absolutely love this type of content. Looking forward to more
This is a fantastic video. Thank You!
That shot with the riots cracked me up! Love your videos.
This is one of the best reviews I have had the pleasure of wittnessing. New Zealand
Thank you! My sister married a kiwi - I'm hoping to get there some day...
My Dad had a Trail 70. I had a CT90 and my brother had a CT50. We had lots of fun on those bikes.
One of my fondest memories as a kid was riding my uncle’s Trail 90 in a West Virginia state park in the early 70’s. It was quite a step up from my Honda C50 Super Cub.
Absolutely Agree, and love my 2023 ct125. Brought back so many memories of my younger days.
I loved your pre-TAT and TAT videos, which I consumed prior to my solo TAT trip in Sept 2021. This video was extremely well edited and narrated. Brings back the memories of adventure your TAT series fueled in me. Great job!
Awesome that you were able to get out there - the TAT has to be the best route in America.
Excellent!!!
I have TW200 and no use for a CT125...but I still would like to have one.
This would be perfect to ride the PanAmerican. In Latin America you just ride the shoulder and small bike shops are everywhere. Mind you doing south America in a van is hard enough. The CT125 is lovely. Nice review.
I watched your whole adventure on the TAT and you are a great example of how to really challenge yourself. Your editing and additions to the video with "future and past Ang" were having me laughing so hard I almost tipped over in my desk chair! I've also watched a few of your other vidoes and I will make it a point of catching up on them. Thanks for taking me along on your adventures !
Definitely check out some of the other playlists if you get the chance. The east coast bdr trip was fun. Thanks for watching!
AAAAAAMMMMAAAAZING video!!! Love the comedy throughout the video. You absolutely nailed it on this review
Your Song at 1:14ish flashed
Tom Tom Club and Nonchalant: Flyin'
That's a song called Euphoric by my ex-band Treadmill Trackstar. Look it up on Spotify!
Great video. I ordered my 125 the day I discovered of their existence. Had to order from the next state down Utah). Love the bike and just changed the oil to get ready for the season. Love the name of yours, mine is called "Favorite Child".
These are insanely fun.
I bought the 125 as my first bike 1 year ago. Absolutely in love with it. I even bought a second one that was a theft recovery. It was spray painted black and missing every body panel. Just finished restoring it. I also just bought a crf250l, but if I had to choose between the two, I'd choose my 125. Like you said, the amount of fun it gives is almost criminal.
Might need a photo of the theft recovery bike - sounds kinda cool!
Absolutely great. Laughed myself some body parts off. You should have your own show, theatre, tv, soc media, doesnt matter. Awesome vid!
I'm available!
That tat series was great. The fact it didn’t get crazy views and that people still ask online if you can take the ct125 on the tat, blows my mind.
I have the CT 125 Trail and everything you said about it is true. When you ride it in a way not meant, that's when the adventure begins . Yes it is fun!
Excellent review, Ang. Your TAT ride report on ADVrider was one of my all time favorites. Thanks for taking the time to entertain us.
Thanks! Head over to SubStack if you like the writing stuff. Should be a link in the description somewhere...
Quite simply the best and most honest review of a bike like this. 👏 Bravo and congrats for all your fun experiences and memories made.
Thx!
Love your videos! I discovered them after getting my own CT125 in '22.. Also followed a similar music path in my 20's. You have a great ability to convey frustration through humor, tell future Ang to take it easy on you 😅
Future Ang is an a hole!
I love it. Yes to all you said. You summarized the joys and foibles of our favorite little bike. 👍🏻😊 Thanks for all that you do for the CT 125 community.
Thx Doug!
I am glad you did this video. I had a similar nostalgic experience with a CT90 Trail. That bike and I went through an interesting period of time while I worked my way through college and it never let me down through thick and thin. I could talk for hours about what all I did with that bike but it's only interesting to me. It certainly helped me get through college.
I am retired now living in Southeast Asia and I have an XR150L (for seven years now) that has been another amazing piece of dependable and versatile equipment.
That little episode you showed of your CT125 literally petering out going up the hill in first gear was a downer. Nothing like that ever even came close to happening with my CT90. I could drop that bike into the low range on the transmission and it would climb trees.
The XR looks cool and fun. Yup - leaving out low range was a big mistake. Honda doesn't make many of those, but!
I changed the front sprocket to a 15 because i moved out into the country and was commuting into the city on a 100kmh stretch. It makes a great difference but I've absolutely killed the hill climbing power. Im getting used to it but it's not ideal. Mine has done 18000km which is about 11000 miles and it rides exactly like a new one.
Love the ct 125 proof that you don’t need a gs or a ktm to have an adventure I think these bike are the future of budget adventure riding good video
As a father, I'm still having to absolutely stay alive. I reckon another 10 years.
Love your work sir.
thank you!
Outstanding review!
thx!
What a great way to think about a great, but not perfect, bike.
People often want everything from a regular bike when bikes that can do everything cost so much more.
This model is a bit expensive here in Japan, but I would buy one if I had money / space for an 'unnecessary' toy.
Every time someone like you honestly reviews what went well or badly with a CT125 the community of people who love it can plan to add/remove/change parts when they get one, before their own adventure.
I love this bike and really think it's the best looking small Honda bike of all, though I do not know whether, especially after your video, it would be comfortable enough for my 3 hours return journey to work and back daily through traffic, which I currently begrudgingly do on a 2015/1500cc Honda PCX scooter. In all regards apart from comfort (minor spinal problem) because it is a bit less easygoing on my arse than I would like, it, too, is a great little town-to-town )here in Japan at least) scoot'. One repair (but a lot of preventative maintenance) over 102,000 kilometres.
Anyway, I am getting off-topic now.
Thanks for a great review.
When I retire my PCX at 160,000 kilos / 100,000 miles, I may get a used CT125 as a commuter.
Though my back will not allow me to do what you did, which is a damn shame.
Check out the TAT playlist for more CT125 fun!
@@SomeGuyRides Will do!
Brilliant review. Enjoyed and thought why don't I do a challenging ride sometime on my Kymco 300 scooter. At least it can do 100kph on a highway; though cramped!
Thanks for a very cool and informative review. I’m amazed by what you’ve put your CT125 through.
As soon as I saw one of these brand new CT125s on the showroom floor of my local Honda dealer I resolved to buy one.
I love the look, the fuel mileage, the light weight, and the off-road capability of this little machine.
It will fit nicely in the garage, between the Honda CRF300 Rally, the Kawasaki KLR650, and the Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE.
Happy Trails!
Get it! And yeah - you'll have a nice stable there for sure!
Thanks for the update! Last August I got a 2023 CT125 (the green one) inspired in large part by your adventures. Ima be riding mine (named "Booger" because of the color) up the Natchez Trace Parkway this summer. Not off-road at all, but for me still a pretty serious adventure. :)
Looks like a cool route!
@@SomeGuyRides yeah, 440 miles, 2 lanes, low traffic, 50mph speed limit. Perfect for these little bikes.
Great video. Thanks
Nicely done
My buddy and I did the PA BDRX in September and will be doing the MABDR (south to north) in a few weeks on our Trails. NE BDR the 2nd week of September. It's such a stupid fun bike. It's made motorcycling fun again for me. Thanks for the videos and insight to the 125.
Enjoy the NEBDR! Some tough stuff on that one. Check out the east coast bdr playlist if you need some intel on that route...
Rode about 4000mi on mine. The single most annoying thing for me is the kick starter always rubbing on my leg. Seat is bearable for short rides but ended up upholstering my own for longer rides
Keep up the videos bro
do a quick adjustment of the kick - aim it back a little - that might help...
@@SomeGuyRides I did. It did help but I think I’m gonna just replace it altogether. The thing sticks out way too much!
Subbed…. The sense of humor, irreverence, pluck, plus the TAT…had me.
68 here/44 riding still; I considered the Trail- but chickened out because of HP concerns. I had a 80cc scooter for around town stuff- but that was too little/top was 35 (or feels like 75 on this). Guessing the 125 is 55 top end? lol- guess I’m waiting for a TRAIL 250…making it a capable highway runner also.
Thanks for stopping by! You might like the TAT Playlist - that was an epic trip. Yeah 50 or 55 unless the wind and gravity are with you - then maybe 60... ..45 or worse if they're not...
Excellent commentary, YOU inspired my old 64 year old ass to go buy one, I have some great adventures planed, just have to retire to go do them. Thanks for your "drive", keep it up!
Where's my cut Honda! Glad you're getting out and about on yours - super fun bike!
Had a CT-90 in 5th grade through junior high school. Very fond memories 😎
awesome balanced review - love it!!
Thank you sir!
Great story and awesome video. You make me want to get on my bike more, and that’s the best compliment I can give!!
If you liked this, check out the TAT Playlist!
You are a great story teller! Thanks for sharing the freedom..
I considered a CT125 mostly because of childhood memories but ended up on a DR650. I ride the WABDR, Forest Service roads & single track, man I wish my DR only weighed 250lbs.. TAT is on my bucket list but still working up the courage and gathering gear, that what I tell myself anyway.
You won't regret going for it with the TAT. Amazing amazing route!
Watched all your vids in 2022, got a Honda supercub 125 (Europe has no CT125) and rode many kilometers on it in 2023. When planning my 2024 summer trips my ass and time schedule complained so I upgraded to a Duc Scrambler 800.
The Honda gave me back the joy in riding I lost after crashing hard over a decade ago. Never again a sports bike, it will always be the small, nimble machines for me. And it is partially your fault, Ang. Thank you so much!
I'll take the blame!
10 out of 10 production rating. Excellent.
I appreciate it!
Of my hundreds of CZcams subscriptions, I am down to 20 and you are number 1. My dad toured Japan on a 50cc cub in the mid-'60s. I am 55 years old and a former motorcycle guy. When I finally get back on motorcycles I am considering the CT 125 thanks to you! I love your content! On top of going down to a 13 tooth front sprocket I have heard going up four to six teeth on the rear will give you far more low gear power but will lower your top speed considerably. Thanks for all the effort you put into your content.
Huge compliment. Thank you!
Great review . I purchased a trail 125 about a month ago . In Canada we get a different shift pattern . Its 4 down , you can also go from 4 th to N or first to N . Its pretty neat once you get used to it . I put a sheep's skin on the seat and find it a lot more comfortable . So far I am having a lot of fun with this bike , I am 70 and have been riding for 55 years . Reviews like the ones you are doing help people have realistic expectations of this bike . Thank you .
That's so weird - I wonder why it's different like that? Thanks for the kind words- appreciate it!
one of the greatest reviews on this little monster .emotional & sentimental too.
I'll take that review - thank you!
Awesome work 💯👍
Great homage to Little Ugly! I was a little taken aback when you mentioned never getting rid of Little Ugly. Though I didn’t search for the episode, I think I recall at the end of the TAT, you were giving serious consideration to selling….change of heart no doubt.
Yeah - I really wanted to sell her at the end of the tat to avoid shipping. But - I'm glad I kept her.
Have viewed this n other reviews on this bike and im sold! Will be buying one in Thailand once ive wrapped up a couple of other details then i eill be off!! Currently have Grom here in the U.K which is as tough as old boots, ride it come rain,ice,snow or shine! Yes, this CT is the dogs bollocks, great review!
Let me know what you think of it - and watch the TAT Playlist to see how they do on long trips!
I love mine. Heading out tomorrow for a 2 day ride.
Have a blast!
man, love your vids and love my ct125, hope to see you around east tennessee / reliance area. take it easy !
I’ve watched this video many times. When I was 18 I had a 1981 Yamaha SX650 special, and the feeling of 2 wheels on the country roads of southwest Ohio is something I’ve always wanted to get back to. I turned 42 this year and I’m only getting older. I have a 24v scooter that I’ve ridden for a season, but it’s just not enough. I’m probably far too tall for a CT 125 at 6’9” but I don’t care. Thanks for this video Ang, I’m picking up my 2024 CT 125 on Friday!
Congrats on the new bike! I just saw one in the shop nearby - the 2024s look cool - the only real difference I could see was the crash bars (cosmetically anyway). Enjoy that thing! And if you really want to see what it can do - check out the TAT Playlists.
@@SomeGuyRides I’ve been working my way through them! Great stuff man!
So glad the algorithm sent this video my way. Wonderfully done.
Lot's more on the channel - check out the TAT trip if you get the chance. Epic!
