Hi all,

Glad to join the forum as I've finally found MY CT125 after a looooong search.

What better way to get acquainted then flying down to LA and riding it back Hwy1 to the Bay Area. Wish me luck !,

Mark in SJ-CA

Be careful man. Highway 1 is +55 most of the way. I’m in SJ. Interested in how this trip goes. Be safe.

Thanks mate, could be a long day, but we’ll see how it goes.

**quickly googles that distance**

462 mi

Well, you'll quickly form an opinion on the stock seat, that's for sure. I would budget for two days, just in case.

Ah it’s “only” 390 to where I’m going….. I have the option for a 2day and I’ll probably know in the first hour what it’ll be

First 165miles done. This is a fun bike !

How are you not getting run over on Highway 1?

That was the best part, plus I had a lot of time to see them I could see myself touring on this bike. Just need to add a charging port and it looks setup to have one.

Looks like you took 33/25 to get back. Nice drive

That was it !, 33 was new to me, through Loas Padres was awesome though oil country is a chore. I’d never ridden 25 at night so that was fun too.

 

[rightspy]

25 at night….sporty! How did you get from 25 in Hollister to SJ?

 

[Haket]

Through Gilroy and then Uvas. I live in Almaden so that was an easy home.

Ahhh, I’m in Cambrian

My old neighborhood !, I've not seen any Trails on the roads here yet, you ?.

 

[rightspy]

Nope….I think we are the only ones. You will notice all the questions from strangers you get. It’s like they are seeing a UFO.

They do draw some attention for sure. Always good though.
