    Time For a Hot Sammich

    If you know the difference between a sammich and a sandwich, and you get an urge for something that really fulfills that need, you'll understand why I had to take my LRD across the river to the Blues City Deli in the Benton Park neighborhood of St. Louis. It's only 19 miles from my home if I...

    St. Joe State Park

    I hauled the LRD out to revisit St. Joe State Park, located about an hour south of St Louis. It’s one of the largest and most popular off-road-vehicle riding areas in the Midwest. The park offers acres of sand flats, wooded hillsides, crushed limestone tailings from the lead mining process...

    Wabash Cannonball Bridge

    I finally made a trip I’ve been wanting to take for a while. I took my LRD to the historic Wabash Cannonball Bridge that spans the Wabash River between St. Francisville, IL and Vincennes, IN. This unique railroad bridge was built in 1897 and abandoned in 1965. A local farmer bought the bridge in...

    My LRD goes to the Big City

    Most of the time on my LRD I’m looking for back roads and trails to explore. I decided to try something different the other day and took it to visit the big city. St. Louis is a mere 15 miles from home if I take the interstate super slab. Since that’s not an option with the LRD I took a more...

    A little wind protection

    The emphasis is on "little" here. Installed a small (approximately 10" x 10") acrylic visor to help cut wind resistance. Bought it from Webike for about $50. Shipping from Japan can cost almost as much depending on whether you choose the slow boat or the fast plane delivery method. They make...

    Improvements from Easy Modifications

    One inexpensive and two free and easy modifications improved my LRD. (See photos) Have to admit I was a bit skeptical when I first read about the shift shaft support bracket. I couldn't see how that little part could make the claimed improvements. Positive reviews by a couple of folks on this...

    First Oil Change

    Changed oil in the LRD for the first time today at 300 miles. Used Honda GN4 as recommended in the owner's manual. Photo of flakes left in the pan is attached. Also installed a Gold Plug magnetic drain plug to help in the future. It wouldn't have caught the larger stuff in this change since they...

    One week update

    Brought the little red donkey home a week ago. It now has 244 miles on the clock with the 117 miles put on it today. I've lived in the same place for 25 years and thought I had explored just about every path and backroad within 50 miles of home on my other bikes. Without getting more than 20...

    First fill up

    Got home with my new little red donkey late Monday afternoon. Rained all day Tuesday so didn't get to ride. Taking it somewhat easy during the break in period, but filled up on Friday for the first time. 127 miles on 1.035 gallons or 122.7 mpg. Not bad! I've never had as much fun with my...

    Little Red Donkey (LRD) Origin?

    Does anyone know who first coined the LRD term for this bike, and when? It fits this beast of burden perfectly. Was just wondering who came up with it and if it applies only to the Trail 125 or its earlier versions too.

    A trick trunk and a real horn

    First thing added was a milk crate to the rear rack. Really like the look, convenience, and cost ($0). Second thing added was a PIAA Sports Horn. Have one on all my bikes. Provides a115 db blast and no more sounding like a bee in a tin can. Now if I can only avoid scaring the snot out of myself...

    Greetings from southern Illinois.

    I'm glad to have found this forum. My first ride was on a friends Trail 90 when I was 13 years old. My first bike was a Honda street twin 125 in 1969, and I've been riding ever since. I never took the time to count the bikes I've owned but had them of many types and sizes for 52 years. My Trail...
