  • Collecting two CT125 Postie bikes interstate, setting them up for an adventure in Tasmania. Only issue was one rider could not ride!! Off we go on “L” plates. Little did we know what lay ahead in the weeks to come; Accidents, snow, speed sapping hills, beautiful countryside wonderfull food and friendly helpful people. Tassie had it all.

    I don't understand why the Australia government first allowed Honda CT 125's to be imported and then outlawed them.

    I glanced at the title, and immediately thought there might be a very slight, subtle, mild, challenge riding them across the water.
    I've never ridden a motorbike, but I was thinking of buying a Honda XR150L for the farm. I don't even need to be faster than the sheep, just have more petrol than they have stamina :)

    Interestingly enough, I also purchased my new postie from the same shop, They were great to deal with over the phone ,right up to when I paid for the bike, but very difficult to have the bike prepared for collection by my transport company after all their promises fell through..

      Not good,I thought long and hard before mentioning the bad service. It’s a Pitty as it take very little effort to complete the transaction.
      Enjoy riding.

    Please inform me as to where to purchase your pannier aluminum racks. They are perfect. Great post. What do you think about your CT’s? We are continually impressed and puts a smile every mile

      I made the frames myself. Video on my channel showing fiting. Just bend a bit of Allu flat and some allu bar. I did myself or you can get local fab dude to make. Luved the CT in town, found the lack af speed an issue on open roads with truck up my ass and no roadside to pull over.
      Ride on..

      These are not real postie bikes. The real, original ones were the best, with low range lever for off road they will go anywhere. The modern ones are just style but a standard bike, small fuel tank, nothing about them is actually adventure apart from the tires.

    It sounds as though you are using an intercom system - does it give your young lady earache?

      These new ones are a disappointment. All style but none of what made the original so good

    Just wondering Mick if they had a bit of a run in period or just normal use as soon as you got them and how many k's did you end up with after the trip.

    • @mickrides615
