2023 Honda Trail 125 - Accessory Changes on the Country Trekking

[@ajmersingh6650]

OMG. Bike looks like a military vehicle which means serious business. Loved the zest, skill and aptitude of the rider. Happy rides sir.

[@Vintage_Garage]

Wind-Rider, Thanks for watching and the kind words. I agree that it looks a bit military, with the green pouch on the handlebar crossbar adding to the flavor. I do like the rear saddlebag better than the rear side box, but I'd like to keep the fishing rod holder on this Trail 125, so the saddlebag had to go on the other one. I still have to see if a rifle in a soft case will fit in the Endurance side case when hunting season arrives. LOL Not sure if you saw the Kitaco "Military Campster" from two years ago. I have one of those Kitaco decal sets for it, not sure what to do with it, as it eliminates the Honda side decals, but I do like the looks of the decal set. See: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGS3Z2B7q8eGnrs That video shows the Kitaco "Military Campster" on the brown color that is now discontinued. I think one could be made from a green Trail 125 and it would also look good. I already made a Gcraft "Farm Campster", and at the time, planned to make a Military Campster, but could only get red Trail 125s, see: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4aoi3mherl9f6c

Pán je moc šikovný. Je vidět, že má zkušenosti. Dobrá práce!

[@Vintage_Garage]

Děkuji za zhlédnutí a vaše milá slova, moc si toho vážím.

[@brianwill4744]

Great vid buddy, I'd watch another!

[@Vintage_Garage]

Brian, Thanks for watching and your comment, much appreciated. I've made more than a hundred videos now on KZbin, but the best way to find the ones for the Trail 125 is to look at these two playlists: Honda Trail 125 Technical Videos: kzbin.info/aero/PLzD0_ErwwkDDBfcOoQQQYFTY9O0MFEjaH Honda Trail 125 Adventure Rides kzbin.info/aero/PLzD0_ErwwkDCWnAeCGz1vX6DYpoR6DDTs

Glad to see that you are enjoying your bikes ! Be careful !

[@Vintage_Garage]

Richard, thanks.. We've had a really hot summer, and it's been too hot to enjoy riding on the State Forest trails near here. After the hurricane passes by us on Tuesday night, Wednesday morning, the weather may turn cooler as the seasons will start to change. The "Country Trekking" is pretty much reading and waiting for a cooler, dry day for a ride and fishing trip... coming soon, I hope. So far all the rides have been slow, break-in, evening rides to Lake Beverly and back.

[@matthubbard8541]

Bike is looking great Vaughn, awesome mods, ride safe 🏍💨😎👍

[@Vintage_Garage]

Matt, I am almost out of accessories sitting on the shelf.. LOL. Most everything is now installed. I also sense a very slight change in the seasons here. It is still pretty hot during the days, but the evenings are slightly cooler now. Pretty soon, it will time to make some trail rides. It's been very difficult to find others to ride with, and some of the State Forest trails are a pretty remote, with spotty cell phone coverage. I had one man about 100 miles away express interest that we meet up for a ride one Saturday in September, at the Historic Richloam Store which is about halfway between us.. 50 miles or so for both of us to get to the store, but there are many forest trails to ride once we get to the store. see: www.richloamstore.com/ and also: www.google.com/maps/place/Richloam+General+Store/@28.5001635,-82.1088091,14z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x88e7f924c8acf1e3:0xe5352025caf6bccc!8m2!3d28.5015967!4d-82.113224!16s%2Fg%2F11c6055t2b?entry=ttu

@@Vintage_Garage Vaughn, yes we’re definitely moving into a different season, I did notice a distinct smell of autumn this morning, we’re at 51° 30' 35.5140'' N and 0° 7' 5.1312'' W, so the leaves will be turning soon and the nights are pulling in. I’ll take a look at the links you’ve sent, stay well.

[@travelwithsupercub]

Amazing updates on your motorbike! Thank for sharing with us! Enjoy your ride!

[@Vintage_Garage]

@travelwithsupercub, Thanks for watching and your kind words. I watch of all your videos too and highly recommend your channel to my subscribers. I have only been to Sihanoukville one time for one day on a cruise, but if I ever get a chance to go back, I will try to rent a Super Cub for the day there.

[@travelwithsupercub]

@@Vintage_Garage Thank for watching my videos, too! I really appreciate it. And welcome to my country anytime!

[@Vintage_Garage]

@@travelwithsupercub If you ever make it to Florida, I have a pair of Super Cubs we can ride..

[@loganholmberg2295]

damn that bike looks nice in that green and those mods are cool. 👍👍

[@Vintage_Garage]

Logan, Thanks for watching and your comment, much appreciated. I had been hoping for brown since 2021. Then when the green came out in 2022, I started hoping for green as I liked it better than the brown. When the brown color was discontinued last year, and replace by silver, I was still hoping for green, although I have all the accessories on the shelf to make a silver "Stanley Special" LOL. I like the green so much I bought two of them. One each at my two closest dealers. I am glad that Honda brought the green to the USA market this year. While I like the red, if the 2023 had been red, I wouldn't have bought two, and maybe not one, as I already have two reds.

[@gustwowheeling7337]

Excellent installation video, those are some nice goodies. Genius idea on converted the soft bag into a rigid top case, and that side box looks tough. Your Trail 125 is ready for the State Forest Trail Roads. Ride safe.

[@Vintage_Garage]

Gus, thanks, much appreciated. I was going to make a video today of riding the Country Trekking to either Goethe State Forest or Gulf Hammock Wildlife Management area, but the weather is still just a bit hot here, so I put it off for a week. Gulf Hammock has a $300+ access fee, and is only open during hunting season, which has started. Fortunately, the access fee is waived for the Old and Slow.. 65 years is the cutoff, so I beat it by more than 10 years.. LOL. Both of them are remote enough that I worry a bit about riding there by myself. If I get stuck in either of them, it is a long walk to civilization, and cell phone access is a bit sketchy. Instead, today, I just took a Monkey to a local park, and filmed the ride. I'll start editing it tonight, and it will take a couple of days to get it ready to put on KZbin. It will be called something like "Monkey Time at Yeoman's Park". I still haven't looked at the video, so I don't know if I had any GoPro goofs yet, or if I have enough to make a video out of the day.

[@gustwowheeling7337]

Copy that on the Old and Slow discount and hot weather. Maybe you should invite one of your subscribers to go with you, in case you get stuck. Glad that you rode the Honda Monkey today, it must of been fun. You have a good evening and ride safe.

[@Vintage_Garage]

@@gustwowheeling7337 Gus, The Monkey ride went fine, and I got enough video to make a KZbin video, so I will be working on the editing today. As far as riding with subscribers, I haven't been able to find any close to me. Love Motorsports, my local dealer, has sold at least five Trail 125s, three Monkeys, and four or five or more Super Cubs, and five Navis, besides the ones they sold me, but I have been unable to locate any of the new owners, and I don't think they are subscribers. They may live a hundred or miles away, as Love's prices are a bit lower than those in Orlando, Tampa, Miami and Melbourne. Action Honda is 70 miles south of me, and most of their buyers live south of them. Richloam Wildlife Management Area is 50 miles east of me, and I have one subscriber 50 miles east of Richloam and another 70 mile from Richloam, so we have talked about a meetup ride, but to get to the meeting point is a long ride for all of us, and the enthusiasm for the ride is modest, but possible when the weather turns cooler. So far, the only subscriber I have found near me is MotoCheez, and he lives in Connecticut, and is part time in Crystal River in the winter.

[@gustwowheeling7337]

Glad you had a good time riding your Honda Monkey, I will look forward to watching the video. I heard that on no subscribers near by, I live in Virginia. It would be epic to get your friends from Thailand and any subscribers here in the USA to come down to Florida and do a big group ride of Mini Motos, it would be awesome. I hope the temperatures are starting to cool down for you and ride safe.

[@Vintage_Garage]

@@gustwowheeling7337 Gus, I was going to ride one of the Trail 125s to Goethe Forest or Gulf Hammock tomorrow, but now I am reconsidering. It's pretty deep in the woods to go by myself in case I get stuck in there.. Going to spend the day today at the junkyard looking for a back door window for "Lightfoot"s car.. Changing a door window in a car is now almost beyond my capabilities, and it used to be easy.

[@Sixer-84]

Love the videos! Would love to see a tour of all your mini motos.

[@Vintage_Garage]

Michael, Thanks for watching and your comment, much appreciated. I do need to update the old video linked below to bring it up to date. Since I made it, I have added two 2023 Trail 125s, one 2022 CRF50F and one 2023 Monkey. If you haven't seen that video, this is the link to it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4W8fZWYnsyGfqc The count is now up to 23.. LOL.

[@Sixer-84]

@@Vintage_Garage I didn’t know this existed! Watching now lol!

[@MancingTanago]

Hello my best friend? How are you today? I have been watching this video of yours in silence. Best wishes for health and success always, friend 😀👍👍👍

[@Vintage_Garage]

@MancingTanago, Now that the accessories are all installed, it is time for a trail ride in the forest, with some fishing there too. We have finally had some rain here, and there should now be more water in the forest where fish may be found.

[@MancingTanago]

@@Vintage_Garage let's Go fishing my friend and don't forget to invite me too😅✌

[@MrWhitelightning73]

Like those hand guards. Can you link description 😊

[@Vintage_Garage]

@MrWhitelightning73, Thanks for watching and your comment, much appreciated. I have those Barkbusters handguards on my Navi, both of my Monkeys, and three of my Trail 125s, so I must like them. I got all of them at beezdeals. A link is here: beezdeals.com/product/barkbusters-handle-guard-fit-for-honda-ct125/

[@nebulus3]

Where can you get the JDM parts? I cannot seem to find them on the web.

[@Vintage_Garage]

Tim, Thanks for watching my video and your comment, much appreciated. The front bracket for the windshield and the center carrier are the only OEM accessories you can get from your local Honda dealer in the USA. I think in Canada, you can also get the windshield. All of the OEM accessories are available from Webike in Japan. For example, if you go here: japan.webike.net/ and put in 08U73K2EJ10, you will end up here: japan.webike.net/ps/+08U73K2EJ10/#!search&p.k=+08U73K2EJ10 Simply click on the picture of the part, then click on "Add to Cart", then pay for the part and complete the transaction. The part numbers for all of the OEM parts except the plastic side box and it's mount are listed in the description field of this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gamwlZd8iqeAqc0 For the plastic side box and it's bracket, check the description field in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5zcg6uDmJyqd7M

[@nebulus3]

I am unable to find the correct JDM rear rack that will take the side boxes. Any suggestions? @@Vintage_Garage

Looks like you’re going to Miss Idialia… 🌪️ More likely to come straight up here Tuesday afternoon. 🫣😱

[@Vintage_Garage]

Anna, I didn't even know a storm was brewing until KZbin started recommending some weather channels to me this morning. It was called Tropical Depression 10 then. I didn't know it had been named. I just looked at the track now.. still a bit too early to predict the track very well. If it follows the spaghettis models, all we will get at my house is 30 mph winds or so, unless there is a tornado. I am 25 miles inland on high ground. Zero chance of flooding here. Hope you do well.. Check back here after it passes by you, much appreciated.

[@annafraley5388]

@@Vintage_Garage .. we wasn’t paying much attention to it either until after lunch, we’re about 30-40 miles inland right IN the center oh the spaghetti lines, so yeah, hopping Something changes, mostly the strength of it when it hits the Big Bent. Your bike looks Great 😎👍✅
