7/30/2022 6:12am The TX Race restyle kit finally showed up. It seemed to take forever to clear customs and such. Their website is a bit misleading. All of the brackets and parts to make the 2021 plastics fit this frame are quite in depth, and the directions lack detail of any kind. It was a bit like receiving a giant puzzle. After...

After several heat-up/cool-down cycles, I took her out for the first ride. Suspension was a little soft.

Seriously, lets not draw too much attention our way.....we don't need ESPN or Hollywood getting wind of a bunch of people riding noisy, polluting and quite frankly, dangerous machines. They might all take it upon themselves to fly their private jets to Geneva for some conference on how to put an end to this madness. Heads down.....keep on moto'ing.

Eli’s physical appearance and sexual preferences do not do anything to help ESPN promote their agenda. Too white, too male and he knows he can’t get pregnant…

7/27/2022 7:18pm What do you mean “stall”? Never heard the term. Now, “kill the engine mid-turn and fall over with your bike pinning your leg” I can relate to…

7/24/2022 5:25pm This project is about 99% complete, but I wanted to share the journey of the past 2 years that has brought this bike to where it is now. I will make several posts documenting the build. The end result won’t be for everyone and that’s okay with me. I hope you enjoy!! A little history…. It all began with my...

nvkevin Added a reply to Sextons Acceleration is Incredible
7/24/2022 5:32am I agree with you on Sexton’s acceleration. You could really see it on the exit of some of the corners where he would either close up on Eli, or put 2 to 3 bike lengths on him quickly. However, I think a lot of that has to do with their roll speed. Some of the corners, like the tight S...

7/22/2022 1:47pm Here is a quick video of one of the hubs for reference on the color used. This color was used on the hubs and suspension dog bones. It’s called Illusion Purple.

7/22/2022 1:45pm Alright. At this point it’s getting pretty close to being an actual rideable bike. I am pretty much waiting on a few small parts and the plastic kit. The restyle kit comes from TX Race out of Italy, so it took a bit to get here. I’ve got the Mika bars on, ASV levers mounted up, cables routed and adjusted...

7/22/2022 1:39pm Now it was time to get the gas tank fitted and wait on the pipe and silencer to be built. I found the gas tank on eBay after a lot of searching. You wouldn’t believe how difficult it was to find a gas tank in decent condition. When I received it, I pulled off the petcock to do a rebuild...

7/22/2022 12:48pm Thanks man. I appreciate that. It has definitely been a lot of fun to build, and ride the few times that I have had it out. These 2-strokes are definitely a blast to ride and reminisce with.

Awesome build. Excited to see the rest. My father passed away last year. One of the last things we did together was pick up a basket case 2004 YZ250. I’m going to do a similar tribute build like you.

7/19/2022 6:47pm It truly amazed me all of the small parts that are required for a build of this caliber and scope. It took me quite a while to compile the list and source everything through various suppliers. I won’t bore you all with the full list, but if there are any specific questions, please feel free to ask. Radiators were next...
