Greetings from Down under

[South of the border]

Hi folks, my name is Andrew and I’m a New Zealander ( Kiwi) living in Melbourne Australia. I’ve had several CT90’s and 110’s over the last 45 years and just took delivery a couple of weeks ago of a CT125. Keen fisherman, hunter and trail rider and will use it also on the street. I’ve fitted the std accessories like the racks, USB ports and a Quadlock phone holder with power head charger.
I’ve ordered a set of Ohlin rear shocks ( to get some adjustment) and will likely upgrade the front fork springs.
The big dilemma is to find an auxiliary fuel tank which is practical and a neat well engineered set up. Keen also to look at the 13T from sprocket but seen several comments about the abs warning light.
So that’s it from me. Look forward to sharing stories and learning from you guys.

Honest question, with a range of roughly 175 miles, do you ride further then that at a time or just like the look.

I have the aux tank on my 1974, looks really cool but the insides are dry and rusty.

enjoy the bike!

I'll use mine rarely, but it will allow me to stay in the back country longer, I won't have to leave for gas and can explore for another day or two.

I don't know how often I will actually need mine, but I like to have extra. I'd rather have it, and not need it, than need it and not have it.

Gday Andrew! Near Bendigo here, looking forward to doing much the same on my CT when it arrives.

Welcome...are you upside down?

Arrh so you are one of those conspiracy theorists? You think the world is round right?
Of course those of us in the know realize the world is flat. So no not upside down just a little further South

Due late May. Plenty of winter exploring on the horizon. Wombat forest, Strathbogie ranges, Brisbane ranges, Goulburn river fishing...
