[@oliverleifadams2003]

Great effort Shakedown!

[@DickWhistles]

I agree. Stay tuned for his performance on more difficult terrain. Thanks for your comment.

[@AlexOnABoat]

Well he took to that like a duck to water, either that or the CT125 makes everything look easy.

[@DickWhistles]

Both.

Good to see you again, Dick. Which bike would you rather be on for that terrain, the CT or the CRF? Nick J

[@DickWhistles]

The CT is very good on these lanes. Any terrain with more uneven tracks and the low ride height becomes and issue. The CRF is more capable in more mixed terrain and on the road. If you are patient, the CT is more fun. Thanks for your comment.
