I dragged the little Trail 125 out of the garage to serve as my delivery mule today. I discuss why I don't use the CT125 as a commuter and some possible future plans for it. This is a long, slow commute on the surface streets, so skip around with the chapter markers below.
Time indexes:
0:00 Dead battery, kickstarter to the rescue
2:41 Getting reacquainted with the CT125, is it viabe as a commuter?
5:19 My DoubleTake mirrors are too loose
6:58 Other reasons why the CT125 isn't a great commuter
9:04 To keep or sell, that is the question. I could have scalped it for $8000!
13:15 Seat height on the CT125 is quite high for a "mini-moto"
15:10 Cheating the traffic queue with creative routing, insane traffic on Westheimer
20:45 Houston commuting sucks, how to move somewhere else after 20+ years?
28:20 Other plans for the CT125 and Super Cub... a hybrid FrankenCub?
41:31 Stopping at Bering's Hardware to get my good coffee
43:12 Figuring out how to pack 7 lbs of coffee on the rear rack
57:00 Arriving at my first stop to deliver hardware, the battery recharged during the ride!
1:14:00 Arriving at my second stop for lunch and more work
1:30:28 Swapping bikes at the warehouse, CB500X is better for commuting rain rides
1:34:15 The CB500X seat height is LOWER than the CT125!
1:36:00 Beginning the Katy crawl
