Doing well. DRZ passed its MPT the other day. Been using it and really like it.

I took my dax 125 out yesterday for a shakedown run getting ready to sell it. I had so much fun on that ride that now I don't really want to. Life is hard

@@Khar_Toba you selling to replace with something new or just getting rid?

EpohDerf@@EpohDerf sensible me would keep the money. What I will actually do... I want a zrx1200...

@@JohnDoe-xr5is sorry to hear your romantic array takes a pounding. Have you tried sitting on a sheepskin?

@@truxton5484 120miles is I think what I can get to a tank at the very best.

I mean, you can still kick a C125 but not much happens.

@@EpohDerf haha. At least it gets me out of Swindon. 😜

@@michaelnee1470 the most important feature of any vehicl26

Mods here are expensive. £500 for an exhaust!!

You can do it over time, research and find and order parts. Of course, keep the original parts. 🧐👍🙏 Enjoyed the vid!

@@dancingduck glad you enjoyed the video. I will be keeping it forever so it is mine to modify. I'll see whats available.

Stirring your own gears with a clutch feels nice and the CT125 doesn't let you do that. I've never tried a grom but would love to. However, if your choices, I reckon the best for rough roads is a van van (get a 200 if you can find one). As for motorway, the CT25 will do it, perhaps even all day but that's not what it is for. If you can try all 3, that's going to be the biggest help in deciding. If you can't, get one rather than deliberating too long. The best bike is the one you're on! If you don't like it, just sell and try the next.

I agree that 9hp is a bit lacking. However, I think 9hp is the byproduct of making an engine that will run and run and run. It is understressed. I'd love to try on with a 300cc engine.

@@EpohDerf They have 15 Hp in their PCX don't they ? that's a useful extra bit of power I think Honda should make a bike like this with more power not even call it the cub with proper analogue speedo and the same transmission. Having said that there are many roads I can travel on here in Ireland that are more than suitable for the power of the C125. I do have a 2007 Yamaha T-Max 500 that is fairly bet up , I got it for learning, it's fast for all roads but I would like the C125 but it is rather pricy.

That's exactly how I feel about cubs. I've had much bigger, faster 'better' bikes but the simple joy of a cub is unbeatable.

A deep dive indeed but not right to the bottom (end) thankfully. I need to get out there using it.

Cheers. It was a good sense of achievement to fix it. We are really lucky in Wiltshire with the trails we have. It'll need a fresh back tyre soon but apart from that (and the very minor 1/10 hedge crash I did the other day, all is well.

Glad you enjoyed it. I'll try to get some.more videos out soon.

I've never tried Italian scooters. I've got it in my head that they are fast... The chaps down the local MOT place swear by the Burgman maxi-scooter. I am dead excited for you to get a birthday Super Cub. Be sure to come back and let me know what you think.

@@EpohDerf Italian Scooters are fast and great fun and the Burgman is also fast but ugly" However, the Supercub is beautiful and reliable, perfect for cheap commuting! I will possibly going on Supercub meets too, just like the Vespa meets I go on! I enjoy anything with a cult following!

@@m12ttd I don't know if there are enough C125's in the UK for a meet-up!

@@EpohDerf maybe not, but there are plenty of C90's that will be up for that! I'm sure somebody has already formed a club, but I cannot remember where I see the video's of the meets!!!

@@EpohDerf Cubfest that's it!!!

They came on the bike which is now sold.

Yo Dean, I don't think you'd break it. I do, however, think it would be slow up hills and a bit rubbish at braking. Give it a go and let me know how you get on!

@@EpohDerf sounds good will do thank you!

I'm really glad you like it. I still really like mine.

I've been chatting to Steve of the woods about the next thing.

How much did a new mirror set you back? Genuine Honda or aftermarket?

If you ever see a dry day again, enjoy it! What colour?

@@EpohDerf blue like the one I had in the 80's only this one with the square head lamp ...am waiting on the weather getting better as I have a photo of my self dressed as a Punk 42years ago ( I was 18yrs old )sitting on a c90 in the yard of me mams house 5 mins from where I live now ....I plan on knocking on the door of the peeeps that live there and asking can i recreated the photo be a laugh if nowt else ...I did a photo not so long a go of me an my misses top of Sutton Bank 13yrs apart on way to the Farm Yard Party

@@andrewbye8793 I really hope they go for it. Question is, do you still have the old camera from 42 years ago?

I agree with you on both points. I lost a keyless fob and they are approximately £4.9bn each!

@@EpohDerf Yes that's an issue with keyless fobs that I don't like. Maybe it's just me but I was allways bothered if I left it in my pants or jacket or a on chair in garage or in a top box lock 🤣.

@@306Geni top box lock hits close to home.....

I think that your needs would be well met by a C125. Hope you get one.

Not yet

I had the c90 dynoed at 5.13hp and the new C125 is 9.65hp so it is almost doubled, yes!

@@EpohDerfah thanks for clearing that up, I thought they were roughly the same but suppose 125 vs 90 will have more power .

@@o00scorpion00o fuel injection Vs carb. 2020 engine Vs 1970's engine etc.

@@EpohDerf True, fuel injection has probably been one of the greatest advancements in motorbikes along with ABS, anything after that I think should be optional such as TFT screens etc. I have an electric car with touch screen and having to adjust the heating temp and fan through menus along with the radio is infuriating but this is common for many newer cars today which is why I think cars/bikes should be tech for those who want it and cheap for those who don't want it.

@@o00scorpion00o I think you're on to something there. A touch screen to control things when a knob, slider or button was just fine seems overkill. I've been in a few electric cars and whilst they have some novelties and are undeniably very quick in most cases, they leave me cold so far.

If you mean Tony Robinson, perhaps there is something in that... I used to listen to audio books read by him. Often fell asleep listening to him; perhaps by osmosis I absorbed some of his idiosyncrasies? If the chap with a hat and a Wiltshire accent, I only wish I had a proper one.

What a life. A CT125 and ballooning in USA every year. I've only been in a balloon once and it was absolutely brilliant. Serene would be the best word to describe it once the roaring of the gas stopped. Go out in the poor weather, the CT can take it...

@@EpohDerf Fairweather Rider me. Can you remember who you flew with? Find me at most UK Festivals ask for JD

@@MrDisplaypilot I don't remember as I was 10 and only got to go as David Bell (director for Grange Hill, Maid Marion, The Queens Nose and The Demon Headmaster) put his foot down a rabbit hole and vigorously rogered his ankle. It was just a case of being in the right plaice at the right thyme. If I am at a balloon festival, I shall ask for JD and get very drunk!

Evening Hugh. It is just the hill up from Bushton and Clyffe Pypard towards Broad Town.

I went for the dax after seeing it alongside the Cub. The fatter tyres won me over
