    Theoretical fording depth

    Ok, fair enough…you care for her, but she is really quite capable, and the photo is kind of funny, right? Honestly though, her intake and exhaust are up high. I am curious about what you guys think about that.

    Hoping that you guys could provide some insight.

    The clearance is just fine, lots of room in there. I recently changed over from summer tires back to the trackmaster for winter, and I really did notice a difference in the ride. The trackmaster feels kinda squirrelly in comparison.

    Cracked Rear Rack bracket

    Yeah, I know. And those pictures help me to put things in perspective. I’ve never had the rear cargo plate off before. The fault seems to have occurred in the bracket of steel itself, rather than the weld nuts or the bolts. I just think it’s a fault of the steel. In the manufacturing...

    Best and worst place of my life

    Dude. I guess first I’d like to say thanks for sharing. That alone takes some guts. Also, I get my healthcare from the VA, and my experience with their mental health treatment has been excellent. That 3rd place which monotone spoke of…you do have that here. I took part in a group DBT...

    Cracked Rear Rack bracket

    In my opinion, that bracket should not have cracked. That’s steel, right? You should be able to hang the bike from that point (if you wanted to for some strange reason). I think that it’s a defect in the steel. I double what old school and dmonkey said for solutions.

    Question for you experienced trail riders

    I like your style, dingo, but dang…now I have to carry extra forks. 😀 That’s going to be inconvenient!

    Question for you experienced trail riders

    Cool question, but super difficult to answer. There’s lots of variables, and most of the answers kind of come down to personal style. The donkey does seem like a very capable bike. A recent ride on a boulder-filled track was too technical for me when I had to reduce speed to 5mph and I...

    Price mark-ups

    Several things that I learned from reading this thread: Price comparisons should probably be apple-to-apple regarding State tax and registration costs. There seems to be a general perception of scarcit vs. supply, which might contribute to higher costs at the dealer or private sale. It’s not...

    HELLO FROM EAST HOUSTON TEXAS!

    Welcome aboard, Flash! I’m home in Vermont, but my wife and daughter are right now driving down to Fredericksburg, Texas for to visit family. We have folks in Conroe, too. Small world. Anyway, congrats on picking up your ct125. I’ve been having tons of fun zipping around on mine.

    Anyone in the eastern NY/Mass/VT/Conn area?

    I’m in Springfield Vermont, about 2hrs away from Deerfield mass. Might be able to coordinate a meeting during your ride. Depends on our schedules, but if it works out, I’ll bring you supplies or spring for lunch.

    CDT Trail ride

    I loved hearing about this trip, and I think that all the details you guys share are super-useful. This thread has seemed to morph into a discussion on tires and keeping them inflated. In my opinion, Bryan’s use of a tubeless setup for the whole thing is important because it is a strong test...

    CDT Trail ride

    Right? It’s fun to hear about this epic voyage as it’s happening, experience it a little bit…without the inherent discomfort that’s some part of every big adventure.😀

    CDT Trail ride

    Those would be a lot of miles for me, in one day. I guess that you’re a very seasoned rider and used to it. Any butt callouses? Just kidding. 70 miles to go, man. You’re almost there!

    CDT Trail ride

    In the past while hiking I have come across small bed and breakfast situations that were kind of fun because you can get really great treatment from the proprietors and meet fellow travelers as well. Very friendly, really. And lots of characters, too. Mostly these were posted in guide-books...

    CDT Trail ride

    I understand, with your Willy in your hand and out in the wind you must have had “snake” in your mind to begin with. Like, it could have been just about anything penis or snake-like to be kind of startling. Another delightful update! I think that the country that you’re traversing sounds...

    CDT Trail ride

    Wow guys! You have ridden the NM section and now you’re in a new state. The pics you have are awesome, the narrative is hilarious, and I’m pretty sure that Colorado is going to be amazing. Keep on truckin’, friends!

    Kickstand to short

    If you could find a piece of wood or thick plastic for to put under the foot of the stand, that could help with the stability and height. A 1x4” piece of wood, maybe about a foot long would fit under the center stand. You can wedge it a little to make it more level. That and just reducing the...

    CDT Trail ride

    That sounds pretty intense! I took my ct up and down a class 4 (unmaintained) road here in Vermont last week. It was pretty difficult because of the many large rocks. I felt like I was wrestling the whole time, and at the end of about 3 miles I was beat. So, well done to you guys for taking...

    CDT Trail ride

    I like that bit about getting all of the bad luck out of the way first! And that stretch of misadventure must surely end sometime, right? Maybe this will give you a chance to rest a bit before the ride properly begins. I think that it’s pretty natural to feel a little off-balance before a big...
