@ronaldrose6885, Thanks for watching. We're now at the time of the year with the fewest daylight hours, and pretty cool and gloomy skies. This is the time to be making coffee or ramen videos.. LOL.. I don't have any more accessories on the shelf left to install, and I don't see any new Honda models on the horizon, so I am running out of ideas for videos. Another problem is that other than Lake Beverly, there are no interesting spots close to me where I have water or scenery to include in a video. I envy the RUclipsrs from Thailand and Japan who can always find a stream or a mountain in the background, or a scenic view. Being flat land here, there aren't very many scenic views, and just as few running streams. Also as you know, many of the trails here have gates with "No trespassing" signs on them. Goethe Forest and Chassahowitzka Wildlife Management Area have the best trails and are free for the old and slow, and while I never get tired of riding there, the videos are pretty much the same each time. The sand at Richloam was a surprise, and I have sort of ruled out a return trip there. The Withlacoochee State Forest tract closest to me has some deep sand too. The Trail 125 is getting a bit heavy for me to load into the van and unload by myself, but a field trip to the mountains of south Georgia when the weather is warmer might be an idea.
Ray, Thanks for watching and your comment.. Some say my videos are too relaxing.. put it on while you lay down and the next thing you will find is morning! LOL
Jo, Thanks.. Eyes have pretty much healed. I can see better now than a year ago, but not as well as 5 years ago, but I am at least back to regular activity.
Thoroughly enjoy your videos! Putting on the cap and vest is a good idea, as it's been proven many hunters' eyesight and judgement get worse when they get excited.😉
Hey Vaughn, good to see that you're back on the I.C.E bikes again, nothing wrong with electric but at least you have the choice again and are not restricted by range, I like eating Eastern food with chop sticks as well, it adds to the culture experience of it somehow. those hunter Cubs seem perfect for that sort of thing, I would struggle to carry that much on monkey, but saying that yours is made for hauling big bags of mail etc and I dont have a side rack yet, shame the rain caught you unprepared, hope it didn't shorten your trip to much!?..
@@CrustyBiker Crusty, Thanks for the kind words. I have top cases on my Monkeys that can hold all that stuff, except for a full sized fishing rod, but I could pack the 8 piece rod in a pinch. I put an aluminum Gcraft rear rack on my first Monkey, and bent it on the first trail ride. I ended up adding steel stiffeners to that rack and it now seems fine. On the second Monkey, I put on a Kitaco rear rack and it is very strong. I don't think you can buy the Kitaco rear rack from the Thailand sellers.. I have to get it from Webike.
Tim, Thanks for watching and your comment, much appreciated. It's been two weeks now since my second eye surgery, and so I think I have a pretty good idea now of the results. I can see distance objects noticeably better, but can't seem to find reading glasses that allow me to read fine print as well as I could before the surgery. My eyes have recovered well enough that I am almost at the point where I don't have to use extra care when I sleep, I have made a couple of rides on the Monkeys and Trails to Lake Beverly and back, and also with the Motocompactos. I edited this video with my new eye lenses, so at least I can see well enough to edit videos, but just barely. The weather here has turned pretty cool and rainy, but I need to make a proper trail ride on the next good weather day. I think I can see potholes in trails better now, but am not sure I can read the gate boards at an airport.
Matt, so far the eye surgery is a bit of a mixed bag. I definitely see distant objects more clearly, and I think I can see potholes in the roads and trails better, but can't find any reading glasses that let me see fine print as well as I could before with reading glasses. It's been two weeks now since my second surgery and three weeks since my first, so I am getting back to normal activities. I think the risk of infections or complications are mostly behind me. I am still trying to figure out if I have enough energy and stamina for international travel.
@@Vintage_Garage Vaughn, glad to hear that worries of infection and complications are now behind you. I’m sure you’ll feel more positive about international travel in a while, time is a great healer, all the very best to you for a complete recovery 😊👍
I absolutely loved this video.! It was so relaxing to watch first thing in the morning. It really set the tone for my day! Thanks for sharing kind sir. :) Subbed!
Michael, Thanks for watching, subscribing and your kind words. Here are some links to a few more videos with the same plot.. a ride, a meal, and viewing scenery. I'll just include five of them.. any more, and I think you might get bored with the plot..

@travelwithsupercub, Thanks for watching and your comment. I have been watching all your videos and envy your youth and the ability to make long rides. All I can manage now are shorter day trips. I still hope that one day I can meet you in Cambodia, but the chances grow less now with every year that goes by.
@@Vintage_GarageI always try to have time for trips whenever possible. Travel always heals my soul. And thank you for being with me by watching, and commenting on my videos. I really appreciate that. I want to travel with you on my super cub in your country. The views are amazing, and so many great places to visit.
I watched your video a few days ago but only commented today. Sorry yeah🙏😅. What about your eye health? Hopefully everything will be better and smoother whatever activities you plan and do 😊👍
@MancingTanago. The eye surgery went well, and the recovery period is almost over. I can distant objects better now, but I am not yet sure if I can bait a hook with your egg and cracker bait. The weather has turned very cold here now, and so I haven't been out much. I will try microfishing very soon.. thanks 🙏😅.
At least you had Something to do today “edit & post”.LOL✅ Looks like a neat place, must be north? Looks like you’ve gotten some good rain 🌧️ so far with much more on the way tonight, it started raining here about one thirty but we have just gotten about 0.15” to this point..!!! 🤔
Anna, You are right about that... we have had a cold rain here all day. I taped the video just before my eye surgery last week and the week before, so editing the video this morning was a good test to see if I can still see.. LOL I have already made a test ride to see if I can still ride, but didn't tape it. Now I need to figure out if I can see well enough and have enough energy for international travel. Samurai Rider and his family moved from Bangkok to Naha, Okinawa, I think so his young daugther can get a proper Japanese education. I have been to Okinawa several times a few years ago, and it is fairly easy to get there.. I'm not sure though that I have the stamina any longer. Each country with left hand riding is tough for me too, so the only way I'll be able to ride in Okinawa is if I can follow him on the road and trust his judgement at intersections.
@@Vintage_Garage .. I have to do that “eye thing” too but keep putting it off, figured better to wait until After the holidays are over so the DR’s will hopefully be more cognizant..!! How Was yours? Still raining here since this afternoon but only 1/2 inch so far but to worst will be after midnight… Pretty had to muster up energy for anything now, never mind international travel.
@@annafraley5388 The rain is letting up here now, and I see that the weather station on the top of my roof hasn't been reporting to the internet for about a month now, so that Is something I'll see if I can work on today. I hear you on the international travel. Even with my improved eyesight, I still wonder if my mind is good enough for travel. I am likely to lose my passport or other important things every time I change clothes and once a day, I spend at least 10 minutes looking for something I lost. Here is a reply that I just also sent to Retro_iron: It's been two weeks now since my second eye surgery, and so I think I have a pretty good idea now of the results.

@@annafraley5388 Yes, cataract surgery, but mine is also complicated by macular degeneration. (AMD) I just had standard lenses put in because I said I didn't mind wearing glasses. I think in the end, I will end up wearing progressive lens glasses, with no correction near the top of the glasses, and more correction near the bottom. If you want to be able to see distance and close up with no glasses, then you will need a different lens system in your surgery. If you want to get scared, do a You Tube search for cataract surgery and it will scare the hell out of you.. LOL. The first step is to bust out and remove your human lens and then replace it with an artificial lens. Once your human lens is busted out, there is no way to revert..
I love your passion for the peace nature offers. Thank you for sharing your kind and gentle love for mother earth! I am currently looking to purchase a Trail 125, so I too can escape and surround myself with beauty at will! Cheers!! Please keep your adventures rolling for all to see. 💙✌
