  • I'm riding the Super Cub for a work commute today, and I'm comparing it to the CT125 while yesterday's commute is fresh in my mind. I will be editing these two vlogs and adding more context for an upcoming "Owner's Perspective: Super Cub vs CT125" comparison video. Skip around with the chapter markers below.
    Time indexes:
    0:00 Starting a slow surface street commute to Cypress, TX
    2:51 CB500X reassembly project is progressing slowly
    4:19 Super Cub is more capable than the CT125, might sell the CT soon
    8:32 Dodging angry cagers already, social contract is dead in Houston
    11:28 Which bike project is next in my queue, Super Cub?
    14:42 Big city life has completely lost its appeal
    18:47 Distorted camera distances, it's a LOT closer than it looks on video
    19:54 Need to find the rear tire leak, upgrading tire sizes?
    22:58 Need to build my new helmet rig
    26:46 Proactive and defensive riding, checking mirrors while stopped
    37:28 Michelin Pilot Street front tire has 15K+ miles on it
    38:45 Suspension upgrade ideas for the Super Cub
    40:55 Aggressive cagers and jockeying for position... why?
    46:49 Arriving at a locked gate, resuming for round two of the job
    52:59 Heading home, trying to beat rush hour
    54:32 No food for over 24 hours, need to finish the CB500X
    1:01:22 Almost bike-jacked at Huffmeister & 290?
    1:03:12 Stroll down memory lane in my old neighborhood
    1:30:19 Super Cub fuel economy, seeing a Grom rider in the wild
    1:31:50 I'm so hungry, out of practice for 24-hour fasting
    1:35:30 Rush hour cager stupidity, quitting for a frozen custard

    Here in Denmark Aldi pulled out in 2023 after 46 years. The last decade they couldn’t make a profit.
    I used to shop alot in Aldi, but they changed the concept of decent quality at low prices to more organic food at higher prices, and the decent quality stuff was sold just as cheap in other stores.
    I just couldn’t afford it anymore, so I found alternatives that was closer to home and cheap, and I’m certain that alot of other customers did the same.

    Roundabouts are so much better than traffic lights. All traffic lights do is condense traffic and contribute to accidents and road rage.

    I see what you mean Quasi About the traffic..😳... I put a ninety ninety fourteen on the back of my p c x... Save 2 and 3/4 pounds rotating weight and gave it a really nice performance boost... Rides like it's on rails... And handles fine..👍👍

    Now that I have bought my first motorcycle or any transportation since 2006, NO MORE METRO.
    I love Golden Corral and go all the time.
    Highway 10 East to Freeport Street. Or 45 South down Pasadena Way. 👍

    I had to erase my earlier comment because I wrongly went on a rant saying that the cub 125 was cvt transmission lmao😂 i then realized infact the super cub is also semi automatic, glad i caught the mistake and erase the comment before folks thought i was a dumb ass😂.

    I spent summers ('77-'81) in Houston with my aunt & uncle. Traffic was kinda hairy but nothing like I see in videos the past few years. Gosh, it has turned into a "who is the stupidest" contest.
    Glad to see you on the Super Cub. It is my favorite of all your toys. I am biased but the CT125 is not a viable street bike in a big city. In a small town, yes, it would be great.👍😁

    Id advocate for you selling the CT125. Its not meant for the type of riding that you do in my opinion. Personally if you want just a fun little bike to ride in the city and have fun,your Yamaha C3/Super Cub/PCX does the trick.
    My only disappointment(this word is to strong but i can't find another word to describe it😅) is that you didn't ride the CT125 on the Scooter CannonBall Run. Would love to see a comparison on how the Trail Cub does in comparison to the Super cub,especially on the 2021 route with all those offroad stuff.

    Still the same 70/90-17 on front and 80/90-17 on back. I’m expecting a 5 speed for 2025. Probably expecting too much.

    Hello, been enjoying yur videos -- you may be able to answer this -- I am getting windshield like your Asahi, can I use mirror extendors with this mount? New to the Cub and the stock mirrors are uselss, can't do bar ends. Thanks

    • @QuasiRAW
      @QuasiRAW  Місяць тому +1

      Thanks for the feedback, and congrats on your new Super Cub! Yes, the mounts for this Asahi screen are intended to mount underneath the original mirror posts. So, you could install mirror extender brackets on top of the Asahi brackets just like traditional mirrors wthout any problem. Cheers, and good luck with customizing your Cub! 😉👍 --QM

    How do you get the ride info superimposed on the screen?

      The telemetry data for the HUD is recorded by my GoPro Hero11 camera (and my Garmin Zumo GPS when I'm riding with it). The gauge overlay is generated using a third-party program called Telemetry Overlay: goprotelemetryextractor.com/
      I stitch everything together with Adobe Premiere Pro to create the final videos. Creating the overlays is a lot of extra work, but I think the end results are worth the effort. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

Joined pcx groups on Facebook and they all laughed said no reason to upgrade . Nothing wrong with oem . And Brenda is only for racing lol 😂

    11:08 Ah yes, the solution to bad congested traffic isn't initiatives promoting the use of two wheeled vehicles that take up less space, it's not legalizing motorcycle-friendly laws, IT'S ADDING LANES! Genius!
    Man, let OPEC, Brazil, Mexico, Canada, and whatever other country we buy gasoline from charge us $5/gallon before it even gets refined to gasoline, hey, maybe then there will be less two ton obese vehicles on the road with only one occupant.
    .. or maybe just more Work From Home jobs since motorcycles don't seem to exist.
