Just the fact that we're talking about riders needing to give Friese some medieval-style of revange because the powers that be can't/won't issue proper and consistent rules regarding "block" passes unfortunately just goes to show how niche this sport is and will (probably) always be. Maybe it's better to stop trying to be on the same level as all the...

A close friend of mine here in Europe got a call with a demand of immediate payment of the full sum of the Varg with a payment due in only a couple of days from the phone call this week. Before he had been told that he only needed to pay 20% up front and then the rest of the...
Absolutely stunning build. I love seeing (and working on) these older 4-strokes. Brings back so much nostalgia. Not to mention Everts' Acerbis gear. God I wanted those so bad back in the day. That donor bike was almost too nice to rip apart. Beautiful both before and after.

That jacket matches the gear Jeff Emig wore in 1992.

Yes, 92 it is. In 91 the fast boyz gear had some text "locals only" written on the back.

I managed to purchase a virtually unused Thor MX jacket off an older gentleman. It's in very good condition and is what all the new retro-style gear wants to be. I'm trying to determine what year and model the jacket is. It looks a bit like the Thor Fast Boyz gear from the 90's but I'm not sure. I haven't...

Thanks. This confirmed my guess that it was from around this time. I managed to find a video from the 1992 Enduro World Championship where swedish Husqvarna factory rider Sven Erik Jonsson wears the exact jacket and matching pants. I've looked through the other rounds and he wears the same Thor gear for the whole season as far as I...

Here she was the day after I brought her home. A 2010 KX250F with Akrapovic exhaust and Athena 290 kit. Unloved and forgotten. Didn't start, had little to none compression, oily and dirty and of course serviced every 5 hours. Or not. Although I must say the red spoke shields sealed the deal...

10/23/2018 3:19pm
So the issue with the bike not starting was that a valve collet had broken and lodged itself between the valve spring retainer and the valve bucket. I believe this was/is a somewhat common issue with the KX250F's from around this time and this bike was lucky that it seems to have broken when the previous owner tried to start...
