The blasphemy thread (Primarily on-road riding)

[AstroStrat89]

So I get it. I'm opening myself up to some criticism here but it's just the internet.

I'm pretty much just riding on the road on the Trail 125. I've been thinking of getting a motorcycle for quite a while now but it wasn't until I saw this bike that it really grabbed my attention. Admittedly a Super Cub would be much better suited to my riding habits. Honestly riding my wife's SC is a better experience for the roads. But just looking at my Trail makes me want to ride. I justify it to myself by saying that its not really a practical decision to get a motorcycle anyway so I'm just gonna do me. Its not that I wouldn't take on dirt or even trails but there really isn't anything around me unless I trespass or seek permission to ride on some land. But with that said I'm more likely to do mods that make this a better road bike in the future. To the folks out there that really want to trail-ride but can't get one you have my sincerest apologies. Honestly, good luck in finding one.

If it makes ya grin, it's good.

It's set up fine for the road. As long as you understand it's limitations. It's a great grocery getter, with that giant rack.

99% of what i use mine for is road riding. I rode dirt in past, not really my thing especially on ths bike for me. But i get it. I enjoy mine for road use, for sure.

Mine has an expected delivery date in early August. I'm planning on mine being a long distance touring bike. LOL. No seriously, have you watched any of Ed March's C90 adventure videos on YouTube?

Ed March is my hero.

Mine is a grocery getter. I am now sporting that Thule basket on the back.
I drive a 2020 F250 Powerstroke Diesel... The grocery store is about 1 mile from home... and my office is 2.5 miles from home.
It doesn't make any sense to start that big ass truck up to run it for a mile or two.. so the CT has the job.

Mine Is definitely a grocery getter and travels with us on the back of our’64 Airstream. That being said, I have been out exploring the trails from my off road riding years ago. The trails are way overgrown and the stock tires woefully inadequate. I’ll keep the stock tires on for now but will definitely replace them with a more aggressive tire in the future.
