This is mostly just for fun. I can’t seem to take anything too seriously. If you are here for genuine and meaningful how-tos or information, you are likely in the wrong place.

Come along with me as I ride motorcycles, work on motorcycles and talk about motorcycles. I'm not the best at any of them which provides additional entertainment value. It isn't always fun but it IS ALWAYS an adventure. If you need regular and routine uploads, this channel probably isn't for you. I upload when I have something to talk about or something interesting is going on.

I currently have a 2023 Honda Trail 125, a 2021 Ural GearUP and a 2018 Honda Goldwing. What will be next?

I have had my Del Mar since Dec and have over 6k miles on it. 40 years of riding and its the most fun I have ever had on two wheels, bar none. Harley's, Buell's, CBR's, Dirtbikes and more. No one is buying a Del Mar to long range trip on. Price is subjective really, there are people who spend that on a vacation.

Kudos to honda for making this desirable mini moto. But they are not very business savvy. How much more money would they make if they just ramp up production and lower the price so people won't buy clones.

I don't think Honda can offer it for less. It is cheaper in Thailand but there aren't any import duties or transportation costs there. The market for minimotos is relatively small and they pretty much own it. With the addition of the Dax coming over for '25, its quite a selection. If they were to increase production (or import), I don't think they would sell many more.

It's not 50 miles of range (it's more like 100) and on a level 2 charger to go from completely empty to completely full is 2 hours (not 8). Which you would know if you had actually ridden/tested one instead of just reviewing a review.

Well I’ve posted on your videos before with having a ruckus and contemplating getting a trail125. Well, I did it because the ruckus needed to be about 10-15 MPH quicker on some stretches of road. I end up getting the turmeric yellow color for the 2024 model. I previously owned the 2022 one in red, if my memory serves me correctly. It seems the 2024 model is a bit slower than my 2022 model. I could get up to 60 mph pretty easily on straightaways with it here in Florida. The 2024 model is only getting up around 50 to 52 mph… AnyWho, just thought I’d share.

Sorry, already been subbed. As far as buying a wolf 125, sounds perfect for me. Sounds like it's 2000 dollars less then the Honda after taxes and stuff. Seriously thinking about this, as I can get a Honda near me, as Norfolk, honda was sitting on three last month. They even have a 2022 model, or at least they say they do. Anyways, I also see that China is coming out with a 190 made by a company that starts with an L, but I can't remember it. That to is to be a competitor. But will it come to America. I heard about that bike on biker bits podcast.

If price is the only concern then this video is kind of a waste. If theft of intellectual property and outright copying other products bothers you in the slightest then it seems that Honda is the way to go. When you showed the picture I wasn’t thinking that the Wolf looked like the Zonsen, I was thinking it looked like a Trail 125.

I would assume so. The shocks would probably be the biggest issue as they aren't adjustable at all (I don't think). The CSC is about 40lbs lighter than the Trail and the Trail carries my 230lb self around just fine.

I have a Del Mar, and it’s terrific. Excellent quality, badass design. I commute 14 miles each way. I get 80-90 miles per charge, not 50. I take the long way home and still have miles to spare. It only takes me 5 seconds to charge - I plug it in and walk into the house. It’s a blast and makes me smile every time I ride it. And that’s why I ride motorcycles - because they’re a blast.

I have a 2020 Livewire one. I tend to get about 120 miles per charge. It does suck charging it out in the wild. Trying to find a DC charger can suck. But 97% of my charging is at home. I use my bike for commuting to work everyday as long as it’s not raining. I’m lucky because I can charge at work and it takes all the range anxiety out of it. Plus if something happens I still have enough battery to get home with extra to spare. But with that said in no way would I take my bike in a long long adventure. I don’t trust that the charging station s would be available or working or full. I don’t want to wait hours for someone to charge there car so I can charge mine. Ok. That’s the bad. But this is the best commuter bike ever. lol. That’s not a lie. Just with any bike there’s good and there’s bad.

I’m not sure how I happened upon your channel, but I’m sure it was when I was researching the Trail 125 that I never purchased. You’re videos just come across so honest that I just kept going back to see what you were doing next. Maybe it’s watching someone bumble their way through repairs the same way I do, or losing the tool that was in my right hand and now I can’t find it because it’s in my left hand. I guess I said all that just to say great video.
