RM125 X ready for action, rebuilt engine, new front end from a 1984 125E with 43mm forks a DLS brake, new graphics, RACE TECH Gold Valves and spring front and back, and more. Ready for next weeks AHMRA in Florida.
Not if you are out in front. If you pull the holeshot you won't have to see it at all.Very nice. I will be looking very closely at this next week!'
Thanks Dan, probably the only time I can race with a legit #1 plate so I goggled Ryan Vilapoto # 1 plate and copied it, also had a set of AHMRA plates made. I would highly recommend Jeff at Badbrush Design for graphics. As well as a really good graphics guy, he is in Toledo, and races Vintage MX, so he gets it. Jeff spent a bunch of time to get both sets perfect.Nice job on this Mike. The numbers look fantastic.
The front end is a bit of a hybrid, 1984 125E triple clamp and forks, with nos Suzuki front number plate on an 81 125X. Upgraded to a Gunnar Gasser quick turn throttle and had to find a custom Motion Pro cable that would work, its a bit long and when it was behind the front plate it was not as smooth an operation as with a larger gentle bend. Plus I think it really looks "OLD SCHOOL"Looks nice. Question -- why do you have the throttle cable routed through a hole in the front number plate?
Warm weather coming!!!! good attitude too...just wait till you see some Vitamin DDDMan, This winter has really put the hurt'n on my 2015 racing motivation. I feel like I'm so far behind that it'll take me all summer to catch up.
I fought electrical-ignition issues with my work car that tied me up for almost 2 months back in late November-December, which I finally got straightened out.
I've spent $3800 (of $7000) into a car for our niece, to replace the car that we earlier "gave her" of which she totalled, dodging a deer, hitting a tree. (needs the car to get back and forth from college). The arctic temps have had me absolutely buried in furnace "no heat" calls and chasing down parts.
The bikes haven't been seen since I covered them up in November. And all I keep thinking about for warm weather, is building a storage barn and shop to put my bikes in so that I can get my house garage back, to pull my car into because I'm sick of cleaning snow off of at 5:00 am. And I feel like I haven't done any home maintenance on my own house in 5 years. And we got another grandchild due in April and the 5th due in Sept.
Feeling a little overwelmed this year!
