Honda Trail CT 125: Ride to Stockton State Park, sw Missouri

Riding my Honda Trail CT125 motorcycle from home in Springfield, Missouri to Stockton State Park on Stockton Lake. 144 miles round trip, much of which was on slow going dirt and gravel farm roads. Also my first overnight camping with the bike. I need to adjust how I distribute weight on the bike. I'm thinking the center and front handlebar racks are future purchases.
Side quest on day two to Hulston Mill in rural Dade County.

Absolutely perfect roads for the CT. I put a back pack between my legs and the straps over the bars backwards on my longest trip. All the heavy items in it. With all the weight on the back, I needed it to keep the front end down.

@@camotablet8073 The bike seems to shine best on farm roads. I’ve had a lot of fun exploring places I normally wouldn’t take a truck or SUV through. It’s a fun little beast. Thanks for commenting.

Wonder if you could put wheels under a puddle duck and tow it to the messabout? : )

@@geneberry7114 Seems like something someone on the old Duckworks site would’ve done. :)
