96 RM125


00/01 CR250 This thing (01) was a beast and handled great. The engine was SWEEEET.


03/05 CRF450 The guy I had do the suspension made this bike (03) the best handling bike I ever owned. I had tons of confidence on this thing.


07 RM250. Didn't like it that much until FC worked it over. After I grenaded the stock piston, I put a wiseco in, and it seems to have lost some low/chuggability. Once I throw a flywheel weight on, hopefully this will easily be the best bike I've ever owned.

I'm not a Honda guy but it has to be one of these:




I don't think at any point in my life have I ever had a bigger smile on my face than I had on one of these in the late 60s and early 70s.

Loved that bike and wish I had never sold it was a work of art.

1984 Honda 110 ATC - it carried the gas cans to track so we could ride all day
1987 cr125
1987 kx125 - 2 totally different experiences really
1993 cr250 1996 yz125 2001 yz125
2002 yz250 - keeping this one for good

2002-2008 crf 450's have loved every one

If I had to pick one it would be a tough choice between the 01' yz125 and 05' crf450 W00t

#1 04 CRF 150 - Yep, a little trail bike! I had more fun with that bike in all situations. Arenacross, trail, moto. It was just TOO much fun. Its the one bike I ever was sad about selling and want to replace. The mini bike you always wanted. Wasnt loud, never caused a fuss with the neighbors unassuming sleeper.

#2 82 RM 125 - I have more memories of that bike being the bike of my dreams. Probably today I wouldn't think it today but it was the one. The suspension was perfect, the bike loved to moto and made it easy to do it.

#3 04 CRF 450 - its a jack knife. Perfect for all riding.

I would have to say my 06 KTM 525SX..... loved the stiff suspention, and stupid amounts of power and grunt...any gear any time in any situation...it was a monster.
