    DriDuck Maverick jacket

    For those of you who may be looking for a jacket that is a bit more casual in appearance, might I suggest the Maverick by DriDuck? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07J5Q2PC8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It is available at Amazon for a good price, but I’ve also found that...

    Maybe a bit jingoistic, but……

    ……I chose to do it anyway. I’m looking at this more as reminiscent of Honda’s conquest of the motorcycle market in the late 1960‘s to early 1970’s. Earlier connotations are not applicable. Hopefully we are beyond the association…. By the way, personalized license plate frame start around 20...

    Added a few things to my ‘24

    I’ve had it home since Wednesday afternoon, but this was my first truly free day. Mounted a Kemimoto rear rack and heat shield. Installed a rectangular milk crate, then mounted a gel cushion back rest, lots of reflectors, and a pair of fishing rod holders. Added the gremlin bell and some gold...

    The “gremlin” bell?

    I’m sure most of you have heard of the gremlin bell or guardian bell. I’m curious how many of us here ascribe to the notion of hanging a bell from our bike to ensure protection or good luck? Personally, I had never given it much thought in close to 50 years of riding motorcycles, but I was...

    Has anyone tried this oil cooler?

    https://www.g-craft.com/item/goods/37020.html Its certainly a novel approach, and seems much easier to “plumb” than the other offerings out there. Otony

    For those of you running milk crates……

    …….have you considered clipping messenger bags or small saddle bags to the sides? It would seem like handy rack, ready to go. 30 or so years ago I made a run from San Jose to Corvallis on my BMW R75 using two custom made messenger bags by Timbuk2 (silver and blue to match the bike). I don’t...

    Does anyone have one of these grocery bag hooks?

    I want to turn one on my wood lathe from a nice piece of hardwood, then line it with some tubing (copper?) that I epoxy in place. I’d like to get some approximate dimensions. I haven’t taken delivery of my bike or I would just eyeball it. Anyone know what length and size screw that is?

    Kickstand extension for 2023/2024 bikes?

    As I understand it, the extension pads made for the JA55 series bikes won’t work with the JA65 versions. But as is typical with me lately, my Google-fu is weak. Are there any pads made for the newer bikes? Should I just have my machinist/welder buddy weld on a piece of plate steel to the...

    Are any of you running bar end mirrors?

    If so, what has worked for you? There is a dizzying array of choices at places like Dennis Kirk, and I’m not sure what would work best. Otony

    Ever seen one of these?

    https://altai.com.tr/tum-modeller/detay/12/tank-x-125 Looks like a slightly longer wheelbase?

    Fishing Rod Holders

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/403764207711 Have any of you seen one of these? Or better still, used one? I’m thinking this would be an interesting accessory for the fishermen amongst us, but I value the opinions of the hive……

    I take delivery on a 2024 Honda CT125 in May

    The dealership in Coos Bay, Oregon received confirmation that they have three being shipped in late April. Two are still up for grabs if you want to make a deposit. There are also two (out of ten!) available at the Salem, Oregon dealer. They received confirmation that ten will ship to them as...

    Maybe a bit of a digression…

    ….but I’m wondering who else hear used to frequent Adventure Rider, or perhaps still does? When I was deep in the throes of sidecar infatuation, it was my go-to forum. But once the last sidecar moved out, I came to a sudden halt visiting there. I had decided at that point that I just wasn’t...

    Anyone know if there is an alternative to these turn signal relocation brackets?

    https://www.g-craft.com/item/goods/32606.html I'm not opposed to picking these up, but I really would like to see actual photos first. Or other options, including different turn signals altogether perhaps? Thanks in advance! Otony

    Bleach bottle hand guards?

    So, I’m a zip tie and duct tape kinda guy, always looking for stuff that can be used outside the box. I have many eureka moments in the aisles of Home Depot! Years ago, I made a very nice fairing for my Honda Ruckus using black corrugated plastic from Tap Plastics. I really took my time, made...

    Handlebar question❓

    I’m not a huge fan of the add-on crossbraces a lot of folks are installing on the bars. Can anyone recommend handlebars that are similar to the factory set, that are made with an integral crossbar? I'm not sure why I prefer it that way, cleaner lines I suppose. Thanks in advance! Otony

    Just saying hello, finally decided to pick up a Trail 125

    Hey, Otony here, currently splitting time between Walla Walla, Washington and Bandon, Oregon. We will be moving to Bandon permanently once we are finished building our new home there. I’ve owned two Trail 110 motor pickles over the years (and at least a dozen other bikes) and have finally...
