I scored a second Trail 125 this morning. Now, to plan some trips.
I expect to see some two-shots soon.
I gassed up only for the second time today. I gassed up at 218 on the speedo so 118 miles since the last fuel up. The Trail returned 103 mpg. Not bad! What was bad was that gas went up 6 cents since last weekend at $3.96. Mileage is going slow as I mostly commute on the little beast with a few short rides in between. My commute is 1 mile one way so... Yeah. Best 5 minutes of my life! (that's what she said)
My wife says she really likes my Trail. I think she's hinting she would like one. Looking at your picture, it'd be pretty cool to each have one.Rode the CTs to go vote yesterday
My wife and I did a little experiment this evening. We wanted to grab a burger (from Whataburger - it's a Texas thing). We decided to ride the Trail 2 up. How? I have an airhawk seat that I put on the rack. She sat on it facing away from me (we were back to back). Off we went. We only rode through the neighborhood. It's roughly one mile each way. The Trail definitely handled differently - we topped 300 pounds on it together. Honestly, it did better than I thought. The suspension was still pretty good over the speed bumps. The rack handled the extra weight without any problem either. I'm not sure why it is rated at 40 pounds. My wife weighs just right above 100 pounds. We both had a blast and my wife didn't mind the decidedly different riding position. Would I do it again? Absolutely!
How does the OE lock work, and what was bothering you about it?
I know it's a little more involved than what you described, but it's too bad they didn't incorporate a release with the ignition switch. I like how Yamaha did it on the Zuma, with a turn one position to the left. I know the Honda ADV 150 sports keyless stuff, but that's getting pretty fancy for a CT125.
