TransAmerica Trail Ep. 4 (Finale) - Honda CT125 - Overcoming Oregon
In August 2022, I completed 2,700 miles of the TransAmerica Trail on my 2021 Honda CT125. This video covers my travels in the final state of Oregon!
There's a good share of riding clips in this video, but I have tried to cover most of my trip in the moments out of the saddle, and my thoughts on what an adventure like this brings me. I was inspired by seeing others tackle this, and I hope to encourage more to get out there.
The Pacific Northwest held some of the best riding on the trip. Many roads were paved throughout the National Forests, and the others were well shaded gravel. I saw two bears, and countless cows. This time though, I met two guys, Rob and Steve, and we rode together for the finals days of the TAT, before meeting the Pacific.
My journey had come to an end. Time to plan the next trip - thanks for following along!

In August 2022, I completed 2,700 miles of the TransAmerica Trail on my 2021 Honda CT125. This video covers my solo adventures in Idaho! Idaho was a nice change in pace. Not much adventure, besides a bit of a fright with a storm around Mountain Home. Timestamps:

In August 2022, I completed 2,700 miles of the TransAmerica Trail on my 2021 Honda CT125. This video covers my solo adventures in Utah! Like Colorado, the previous state (and the following two), I had only spent time in Utah at the SLC airport, so I was excited to see the state in its entirety. The landscape varied between scenes I expected, and ones I couldn't have imagined; namely, the Manti-...

In August 2022, I completed 2,700 miles of the TransAmerica Trail on my 2021 Honda CT125. This video covers my solo adventures in Colorado! I had only spent time in the Denver airport before starting the TAT, so this was diving off the deep end to see the state of Colorado. Huge mountain passes, a toe/foot injury, and some lightning encounters brought me to Utah, but not before watching the bit...

TransAmerica Trail - Honda CT125 - What I Packed
Переглядів 22 тис.2 роки тому
In August 2022, I completed 2,710 miles of the TransAmerica Trail on my 2021 Honda CT125. Mostly solo, I traveled from Denver, CO, to Port Orford, OR in 15 days. Prior to this trip, I took a 164 miles trip, and camped off my motorcycle once. I also got my motorcycle license two months before leaving for the TAT. I camped most nights and completed a number of repairs along the way. I was asked a...

DIY: Audi TT Shifter Bushing Replacement
Переглядів 25 тис.5 років тому
After losing 5-6th gear on my MK1 TT 225, I shortly lost ability to shift through any and all gears reliably. After some research led me to presume my shifter bushings failed (common on 1990s-2000s VAG Cars) I ordered a replacement bushing set and fixed it up. Since I didn't find many comprehensive tutorials online, I figure I'd put one together for the sake of posterity. Diesel geek kit, with ...

    5:30 The Shinko 241 are trial tires (not trail, trial) they are a softer compound (more sticky as they call it in trials riding) and will wear quite fast. What you are looking for is Shinko 244 dual-sport tires, basically same tread pattern but last about 10k miles, they have a harder street tire rubber but also feature the knobs for off-road. You can actually run front and rear 244 at 3.0 inch wide as long as you raise the front mud guard up 5mm or so using a riser kit. That way when your rear tire wears down, you swap it with the front buying you 1.8 times the distance or so before needing to buy a new tire!

    Awesome video, man! Thanks for the help. I fully rebuilt the cables and cable tubes and sunroof is working great. However, when closing from the fully open, I’m consistently getting 2 stop points: about 1/4 closed and 1/2 closes. Also, when it’s in the tilted up position, and I click tilt down, it automatically goes into the auto open and starts sliding all the way back. Any insight on these two issues? Do I need to reset the relay or something?

    ha got almost trash in my eye, that I had to wipe a lot, watching this. Did that in June 2012 and seeing those places! Very different look in early June with snow everywhere. (in regular year it wouldn't be even open then but it was low rain/snow season). Oh yeah DR650 so not the same thing but I am a lover of small bikes. TAT isn't mostly _that_ technical. Some steep inclines, soft sand sections and some ditches were the hardest. Most could be navigated around if really needed.

    Great job and thank you. Really only took this on after watching a number of times. I did come up with a tip/trick for removing the A Pillar grab handle screws that are glued in. I made a phillips head bit to fit in my soldering gun, heated the screw and that melted the glue making removal easy. Note, be careful obviously because of the heat, and time as it can melt or soften some of the surrounding plastic, but patience and care will get them out easily without an impact driver.
