About Me
I work in "the industry" so I can afford to still ride. Been doing it since the age of 7 and don't plan to quit...now that I have a little son I have something to really look forward to. ...witch is not riding and watching him ride all day.

In 1990, right before he turned Pro I saw him beat Emig, Hughes and McGrath at Barona on the 125 & 250, but not every moto...but he straight up beat all of them as an Pro Am that day! It must have been a weekend right between one of the SX races because all the Team Green box vans were...

JoeBraxton Started a new thread Anybody buy the Apollo RFX 125?

11/23/2021 7:06pm
My kid is starting to like riding dirt bikes and the CRF50 I bought him years ago is now too small for him. I keep seeing the Apollo RFX line of Chinese bikes and they actually look good for the price....anybody have any experience? Also, the SSR, YCF, & Pitster Pro look OK too? I just want to get him...

Dude if you watch Yves Demarie #22 on the first lap, he "scrubs" so hard at about the 5:45 mark...it may have been a mistake but he saved it and if you pause it he is pretty "scrubbed" on the takeoff. Also, Emig came close to death second moto when he crashed into that bridge! It would be cool if...

Wonder how fast MC could go on that thing. He was very fast last time he rode 125's and he is still just about as fast I bet:-)

Hey everyone, Scored a more or less intact 1978 RM125C for pennies on the dollar. Have a look at the pics. The good: more or less in tact, and a good starting point. The bad: took the top end off, bad, bottom end full of sludge. I could use some advice on sourcing parts for said bike.

Damn that is a nice looking bike. I had one in 1990...it was a local pros practice bike (Bubba Erickson) and it was way too much to handle but I loved it. I'm currently looking for the same year(s) to make me a Tichenor replica as he was my guy that year. My current ride:

What finishing polish do you suggest using? I'm happy with a 92 RM tank I restored but seeing your work I'm motivated to touch it up a little.

Thinking about buying a used 450 to hold me over till next year (buying a new 450 hopefully:-) and always thought the YZ 450's were good but what's the oldest you guys would go back? Saw a few 00-04 YZ426/450's on Craigslist and I remember them being great bikes? I have a 2 stroke YZ250 right now but miss having...

Thanks...your right about getting what you pay for:-) I haven't bought a used bike since 1990 and that was a local pro kids bike that my dad looked into so I guess I'm going to most likely put it down on a new bike. The wife has been on maternity leave so I'm penny pinching until she gets back to...

Yeah the 06-09 YZ's are good...I had a 2007 YZ 250f. Thanks for the feedback. I'm actually stuck between wanting to save for a new 450 or just buying a good used 125 and a little 50 for my son and having fun until I can really afford a brand new 450 again? I'm kind of on the "buy a...
