The tumbler is at AC Racing in Lake Elsinore. Before I had it tumbled I spent hours scrubbing it with aluma-brite, the tumbler was just the final step. Basically the thing vibrates like crazy and rolls the frame around in the ceramic beads and a soapy solution. They did the swing arm for me too and it came out looking great, but was a big job. You have to put a bolt in every hole on the frame or else the beads pack into the holes. I also wish I would have done a bit better job closing off the steering head so the beads didn't get inside. I spent hours shaking and rolling the frame around to get every last one of those little bastards out of it.

Although it's just 16 years later, when you stare at the 2000 CR250 and remember what the sport was then, with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark—that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.”
With the right kind of eyes huh? Sounds like your eyes have read Hunter S Thompson's wave speech from fear and loathing in Las Vegas.

Huge thanks to my industry buddies and everyone that helped with this project for putting up with me pestering them to look for all sorts of obsolete and discontinued parts! In no particular order, Acerbis, Renthal, Throttle Jockey, Motostuff, Dunlop, Cycra, IMS, Seat Concepts, Works Connection, Temecula Motorsports, Total Chaos Fabrication, Dubya, Motion Pro, and TBT Racing!

Lastly, here's how I picked the number, the following is from the mission statement on the website for my uncle's photography business:
