How do you plan to use your CT?

[TahoeMike]

First off, I wish the bike had one standard name like Monkey, Ruckus, or Metropolitan. We will forever be going between CT125 and Trail 125. I even liked Hunter Cub for it. Anyway, mini-rant over. I'd like to know how you all are planning to modify (or not) your bikes and how you will be mainly using them. Mine will be mostly stock except for a nylon roll bag attached to the rear rack. It will be mainly for going around campsites, national parks, and day trips. Will also be used as a prop once the camper vans get here to demonstrate the functionality. I ride my Talon with a group of guys and if I were to go on overnight trips, I'd rather have that as it carries more, easier to operate, and more comfortable. I'm almost 58 so I want a tent, air mattress, cooler, chair, and other niceties!

My little Red Donkey will be used for back road bumming, trail exploring and camping and any other thing off pavement that I want to do. I'm 64, I carry a few comfort items too.

I plan on bringing it with me on the back of my adventure overland pickup (Mototote carrier)...for emergencies (I'm 62 and not interested in hiking back out of the woods) and exploring single tracks where my truck can't go...

First trip, Might swap out the old one for some baja cruising. Its not light by any means!

Northern AZ in the fall

Went for a spin on the moto trails the clearance was an issue at places... One pleasant side effect is that everyone you see wants to talk about the bike. You meet the nicest people on a Honda!

I like to go out and ride around town late at night to clear my head a little, and just breathe the night air. Think time. I will use it for that. I also love to simply get out and explore. I live in an area that has endless exploration and space, and this will be another fun way to do it. I am deeply involved in powersports, I have lots of rides, but this one will be fun when I'm in the mood for it. When I need HP thrills I'll ride the Raptor 660R. When I need passengers I'll take the Ranger 1000 Crew. You get the picture.

I’m using mine for commuting to work and buzzing around town,DC, if I can find a few trails I will be on them as well. Which makes me want to switch out the tires.

 

[fmdualexhaust]

Mine will see little street use.
3 miles to my buddies 85 acres with trails and maybe 5 more miles to state lands with dirt roads.

My thoughts are to use it as a sporting clays range vehicle as well as an "errand bike" - mostly running to the walmart when my wife needs something! I have mounted a scabbard to the bike and have tried it out on two ranges so far. Fun!

 

[m in sc]

running errands and going to work in the summer when i want to haul stuff & not take the bigger bikes. will take to events like drag races, vintage meets etc. will prob not see dirt often, there isnt much around here. sure the GF will use it as well.

 

[G19Tony]

I'm going to use it to get back to the dirt. Lot's of good places to explore. I don't want to go fast. Low and slow is fine with me.

Wow!
Try that in "gun friendly" NY.

New York definitely knows how to violate the 2nd and 4th amendments IMO.

My intent is to use this trail bike for any thing & every thing I can and most excited to take it Geocaching where possible.

Mine will travel on the back of our restored ‘64 Airstream as the ultimate grocery getter and exploration bike. Just got it last Thursday and am breaking it in and awaiting accessories from Beez Deals. Anxious to get out there and get it dirty.

 

[Dakar Dan]

I’d call it ADV Very Lite: A knock around mix of light local commuting & errands, exploring some nearby gravel backroads and fire roads (with some occasional fishing thrown in) and buddying up with our 6 yo Marquez wannabe as he learns his way around on his first Honda.

Dirt roads and adventures. So far i've done a couple of overnights and some long days making big loops out of town and returning. The longest has been 300 miles and I see no reason not to extend into multiple days/states. I love this bike once I turn off the pavement. (the seat is the weakest link for multiple days in my opinion)

 

[r80rt]

Sounds like you are having a blast with it, that's what I'm doing with mine too.

 

[FleaMike]

First voyage with this setup was a total success. Looking forward to the next trip with our ‘64 Airstream and GG the grocery getter.

Looking at similar setup. Did you make a mount or buy one that fit? I'd like to know how you fit in to the undercarriage of the Airstream. I'm actively shopping for a travel trailer that will carry one of these LRDs or two even better. Airstream is making a rear hatch 25ft. now and I think that might be the way to do if I can engineer something to hold two LRDs securely inside while pulling. The old Air Stream Pan American had some nifty rails in its rear garage that would tie down two Harleys. To bad they still don't make that anymore.
