As someone who's into engines and tools and machines and motorcycles its crazy to me that I found your channel because of your video where you keep a grocery store lobster as a pet. I said hey that's interesting and watched it and said huh he was talking about jellyfish and stuff too maybe ill see his other stuff, then I said wait he restores old dirtbikes too? What?
@@Missed_Apex_GT hahaaa I’m from a racing background I know my stuff I’ve rebuilt more engines than you’ve had wanks my friend. You stick to your keyboard and comic book collection.
Been a mechanic for 18 years and Always thought what it would look like to strip an enduro down to look like that…your bike came out like a piece of art.
I think it's good enough to have some shocks built for the back... 2" travel or so and you could set your ride height with them too. Economy, maybe $100 and custom probably $500.
I don't know anything about motorbikes but I like watching restorations. Cool how you made all the changes reversible for potential restoration later. Best of both worlds!
Man I absolutely Love what you’ve done here! Being an old guy I also like the old air cooled 2 stroke MX’ers. I often dreamed of doing this with an MX Bike and it’s kind of like looking at my own dream come true. Go ahead and finish it off so you can ride it on the street, it’ll Blow people’s minds!🤣🤘🏼
That's a beautiful bike, nice work all around. Thanks for not having elevator music and such throughout the piece, I prefer the well done commentary, the video was inspiring.
Absolutely love it. Love that nothing was cut up to do this build, although if you had I believe that it’s nobody’s right to get in your face about it. Your bike your choice. Keep doing your own thing.
As a woman who enjoys 2 strokes and their rocket like acceleration, this was really cool! Thanks for sharing next I shared it w a couple of friends who love ‘em too! BTW go ahead and put your face in there ! it’s nice to put a face to a cool creator
Change the pilot jet on the carb one or two steps smaller. I could be wrong but it sounds like it's a tad too big. The carb is big for the displacement imho but with the right main/plot jet tuning, it will work fine. I love these project. I'm working on a '82 honda 100cc myself. It's fun
Leon got me here. I love vintage MX bikes. My first was a 1980 CR80 when I was 11 and weighed 100lbs. I held on for dear life. I could smoke all other 80’s to the first corner and never let up. Kaplan Cycles….another amazing channel keeping the 2 Strokes alive! This seating position and the violent powerbands of these early CR’s is gonna be insane!!!
At first I thought this was a weird build but I like the process man especially the fact that you took it and made it yours without having to murder the frame
This is a sweet rebuild. I love the looks and the scrapyard and smelter didn't get it. Thanks for saving it and giving it a great looking new life. It's people like you who keep the dream alive.
I had a 79 CR125 after I outgrew my XR 75 I had over 1000 acres of woods and pastures power lines and country dirt roads man I had it made and didn’t know it
I know absolutely nothing about this stuff...but after watching your Leon video i checked this out. The way you explain everything is fascinating. Sat through the whole video...and i have 0 mechanic skills lol
Awesome build! I think I'd have put two of those tanks for gas on er, one side by each. More range ya know. She looks a little hard on the ole coccyx tho 😬
I absolutely love this build! Have you considered gearing it higher and installing a lighting coil? You could probably make it street legal at that point! You wouldn't rip the highway but it would be the coolest bar hopper ever.
I love it. I think making different things out of old bikes Is great however with a bike like that and $2000 I’d have made it a nice Riding quality off-road race bike
Wow, loads of respect, you have built a really special bike, it's a credit to your skills, bless you and your loved ones. Rodge David kidderminster uk 🇬🇧 ❤
I use a mixture of vinegar and peroxide it works better for getting rust off. I use it for my treasure hunting I do finding things underground they get pretty rusty.
You should try fermented molasses to get any rust off of ferrous based parts. Had an old guy teach me this technique and it’s the best I’ve found. 10:1 Water to molasses. Let it ferment in a bucket and dip your parts for as long as you wish. The stinkier it gets the better it works!
i think this bike looks really cool, i think at this point you might as well go all the way with a bigger fuel tank and lights and a quiet exhaust to make it street legal.
When I was a teenager I had a Honda MT50. It was a 1984 I think, or from around that year anyway. I normally rode it to school every day but in wintertime I replaced the rear shocks with ring-spanners to lower it so I could easily flat-foot it and ride it on the ice. I always thought it had great chopper-potential when looking at it in that lowered position and you just proved that. Great build and video, thanks for sharing. Say hi to Leon for me please.
Your jokes about the magnums and the cocaine were hilarious and I really enjoyed your video, I had an 82 cr250 I never could get running, bravo my friend, it’s beautiful 😊
Your bikes are great you’ve done an awesome job restoring and your rat bike is so unique that it’s one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen thank you for your excellent video and sharing your motorcycles with another person that appreciates all types of motorcycles when they’re built by someone who has attention to detail and just builds super Cool bikes ☘️🇺🇸🤘
This is cool! I had a 1974 Suzuki TM125 i got bored and turned it into a drag bike, split the cases and changed the gearing on 1st and 2nd gear for quicker starts, it also ran on cox airplane fuel, (had some nitro methane in it), and had to drill out the carb main jet to get enough fuel to run it. It looked similar to your CR ratt rocket but more level with aluminum tubes for forks,no suspension and no rake on front end. Was pretty quick on 1/8th mi strip. But not so much on 1/4mi. Nice video!👍
Great stuff. I wasn't going to watch the video as the 'MX Purest' in me cried sacrilege, but I am glad I did watch it. PS: That clutch cable bracket find in the store worked out awesome.
Man I know where you’re coming from, and this bike has had some haters, but it is amazingly fun to ride. That 2 stroke surge and the way the street tires hook up will put a huge smile on your face. 😄✌️✌️✌️
DAMN YOU HIT THE ALGORITHM GOOD, I came for the lobster, stayed for the vintage bikes, im going to start building a vw buggy race rep in the next month and vintage bikes are soon after!
Awesome build man, this little chop would clean up all the awards in the custom bike scene over here in the UK..... and piss off ALL the neighbours too! Came for Leon im staying for the bikes.
I was amused seeing the grocery store lobster molting then vintage bike restoring project! All felt like meditation journey, love the vid & narration. Great content, superb skills and fantastic bikes.
Came here by way of Leon ! Great rebuild and its a cool bike ! But isnt the exhaust pipe a problem, like, doesn't it get hot and burn your leg ? 👍 🇨🇦 ✌️
I'm one of those air cooled, carbureted, 2 stroke, twin shock snobs. None of that new garbage technology for me. To bad the frame was bent. That would bother me on anything but a beater dirt bike. I use Kroil as a penetrant. It's the best thing I've ever found. That's one of the worst engines I've ever seen. I use full strength muriatic acid to remove rust from steel and iron. It's to strong for aluminum and will destroy it. I have cut off a lot of old rotted tires. I have found that a lot of expensive special tools can be fabricated or improvised. You almost have to do that to avoid spending a fortune on special tools you will never need again. There are cases though where there is no substitute for the right tool. Love those old non CV Mikunis. I have 7 bikes, both street and dirt. I use a lot of that TruFuel as storage fuel. It's supposed to last 2 years, and won't gum up carburetors, and allows stored bikes to be started once in a while. Damned expensive at $20 a gallon though. But way cheaper than a new carburetor. Nice. To bad it isn't street legal. I would like to do something similar with an old 2 stroke dual sport bike with a VIN and a title.
Hey I actually like the suspension the way it is. The rubber bushings from the shocks soak up a bit. It’s basically a hard tail though. You could definitely add some short shocks with springs. ✌️✌️✌️
Awesome mate. At 53 this brings back great memories of having dirt bikes way back in those days and being young had to learn how to get by as most of us could not afford to spend crazy money like the one guy i knew who had a mom who spent a fortune on him to race even though he was not near as good a rider nor fit or strong enough to handle the 125cc he had when we were on 250 cc and 500's but hey he had a good time i guess as did we all.
I wonder, when you took it for the first ride, were you tempted to ride your rat 'motocrosser' a little more aggressively? Are you sorry you left off the rear springs?
Haaaaaa yeah,… the old school 2 stroke surge is a blast,… particularly on the asphalt. It really hooks up and goes! I’m always cautious though when first riding a new build. Who knows how it will go. Those are 40-year-old parts mostly. I don’t mess the springs at all. It has rubber bumpers, and the ride is nice.
80's strokers were thee best, I rode schoolboy trials over here in the UK and had a little go at moto X and enduro. so miss my old bikes. TY175, RL250, YZ250, IT175 etc etc Not to mention all the road going strokers I had back in the day, thanks for sharing.
That was a great video to watch. it gave me some new ideas . I have a 94 Yz 250 that needs some love. Thanks. I look forward to seeing some of your other builds. 👍🤘
Ponytailzzz RULE. You get one yet ? I had an MR 250 Elsinore.1978 ??? It wasn't too hot (like my Suzy 250 screamer). BUT The MR was indeed a torque monster. I also had a fave called the CX500 way back. I think I put over 100K on the thing.Quicker than most could imagine.
excellent video!, beautiful job done. big respect for being up a respected 125 motocrosser from an important period in time, into something to be round of to reflect history and creation to be something to keep alive in someway....maybe do something completely different like rat rod, from this fast 125 2 stroke...excellent shit. fun, love and bravery and passion in motion. well done.
This video inspired me to start a similar project on a 1984 xr100! But one thing: if you're painting parts to look cleaner, it's not a rat rod. This bike is cool but shes just a hot rod, nothing ratty about it :)

I found it because of Leon the lobster aswell
glad i'm not the only one!
Same again
Yup same here man!
came for the lobster, stayed for the bikes!
💯
Same here
Still trying to wrap my mind around the vision and skill it takes, to build a gem like this! Super cool.
I agree
To put such an iconic engine in such a shit build hurts to watch. Runs like shit aswel it’s hunting like mad.
Suck a rare and iconic motor in a shit build
You really have no idea about performance 2 strokes that were pre power valve…it sounded fantastic
@@Missed_Apex_GT yea a really cool and iconic motor but decided to put it in a shit build some people are idiots
@@Missed_Apex_GT hahaaa I’m from a racing background I know my stuff I’ve rebuilt more engines than you’ve had wanks my friend. You stick to your keyboard and comic book collection.

A leather Fanny pack with magnum condoms? Seems legit 🤔🤣

Awesome Jamie! Thank you for checking it out. ✌️✌️✌️
I’ve never liked or been into choppers, but that’s just badass.
I think it's cool solely because it's basically a unmolested cr250 platform!
Turned out amazing. Love the old 2 stroke music to my ears...
Man I absolutely Love what you’ve done here! Being an old guy I also like the old air cooled 2 stroke MX’ers.

And wow. Your restos are UNREAL. Love this weird little two stroke bobber too. It's awesome.
Hey thanks for checking it out. I’m a huge MX guy but this bike just puts a smile on your face when you ride it and crack the throttle. ✌️✌️✌️
Man I have been waiting for this bike for years! I love 2strokes! I love choppers, the 2 in 1 is extremely rad to me!
If the purists don't like it they can feel free to buy the parts for you to put it back to stock 🤷♂️🤣 good work mate😎😎
Absolutely love it. Love that nothing was cut up to do this build, although if you had I believe that it’s nobody’s right to get in your face about it. Your bike your choice. Keep doing your own thing.

It would really look cool if you put another coolant reservoir/fuel tank parallel to the other one.
Mad skills, and painted lobster Leon red! Great build.
When cooked
Brady, you are officially my new favorite TH-camr I love your video Ideas! I barely comment on videos but i had to let It out.

De-rusting ~ “Ospho” phosphoric acid. I use this for getting rust off (of parts/tubing) prior to welding. It also works on hot-rolled mill scale.
Ratt rules.....and i thinking the Dancing Undercover album was underrated.
Really cool man. Ratters are awesome.
I love the tone of the video!.... Reminded me of a trade school film of the 70’s!
Haaaaaaa cool! Thank you for watching!
You mean the best times ?

I came here for the grocery store lobster and I said to myself whataya know he’s into custom motorcycle builds too! 😆 Awesome stuff.
In Oklahoma, you’re only a couple of hundred dollars away from tagging and riding that on the street legally 😉
That thing came out tasty. Nice job on it. Reminds me of an old stripped down dirt track bike.
come for the lobster, stay for the vintage bikes.
maybe a tagline for your bistro if you decide to open one!

Ratt bikes ,Aboriginal history and a Lobster tale on one channel,been an interesting afternoon. Thanks
I would take red paint off the ends of head studs .nice job that was my dream bike back in 79
Your jokes about the magnums and the cocaine were hilarious and I really enjoyed your video, I had an 82 cr250 I never could get running, bravo my friend, it’s beautiful 😊
I've always thought. When you have a template like this one. The sky's the limit.
I had the 79 I called the Red Devil I rebuilt it as well and it flew i anded up putting it in a go cart what a adrenaline rush
I can agree with leaving the basics stock so it can always be turned back into an MX bike.
You just unintentionally created a bike that looks like an observed trials bike 😁
The fact that you didn’t ruin the original parts is awesome!
Awe, dang. A cool coating to use, would have been Steel-It. Honda themselves use it.
I grew up around these old 2 cycle bikes. Love em! Thanks for sharing.
It’s bespoke modern art and I love it👏

That’s a great idea I’ve done motocross for years and love what you done with it the old cr big well done 👍
I love your "eye" for art, it's beautiful. 😍
What are you going to do about the rear suspension, or lack thereof? Some cb shocks n springs? Interested to know, would like to imitate!
Hey I actually like the suspension the way it is. The rubber bushings from the shocks soak up a bit. It’s basically a hard tail though. You could definitely add some short shocks with springs. ✌️✌️✌️
I didn't realize you're also the lobster guy till I read the comment below. You may be as weird as I am. Subscribed now.

Haaaaaa yeah,… the old school 2 stroke surge is a blast,… particularly on the asphalt. It really hooks up and goes! I’m always cautious though when first riding a new build. Who knows how it will go. Those are 40-year-old parts mostly. I don’t mess the springs at all. It has rubber bumpers, and the ride is nice.
nice job man, i enjoyed watching. lots of work ! cheers !!
This is a beautiful creation you saw in your mind and built. Congratulations on a awesome one off a kind.
80's strokers were thee best, I rode schoolboy trials over here in the UK and had a little go at moto X and enduro. so miss my old bikes. TY175, RL250, YZ250, IT175 etc etc Not to mention all the road going strokers I had back in the day, thanks for sharing.
Much respect sir love what you've done to Elsie
Imagine making this thing street legal and taking it for a rip after a long day at work. That would be amazing
Absolutely! Cruising it down the A1A would be amazing! ✌️✌️✌️
Pet lobsters and Rat bikes-you can’t have one without the other. Great stuff!
Haaaa haaaa, 😅 Thank you for watching! ✌️🦞✌️
I’m not a bike guy...but I know about gravity. How do you fill the fuel tank?
The angle will let me fill it 3/4 full. ✌️✌️✌️

Good looking bike, apart from the bumbag on the back..why?? 😆
😅 It seriously covers the old frame rail very well. Goodbye needed some balance back there.
that thing looks really stupid
Fun build and a unique on. I'm sure Leon approves!
excellent video!, beautiful job done. big respect for being up a respected 125 motocrosser from an important period in time, into something to be round of to reflect history and creation to be something to keep alive in someway....maybe do something completely different like rat rod, from this fast 125 2 stroke...excellent shit. fun, love and bravery and passion in motion. well done.
This video inspired me to start a similar project on a 1984 xr100!
But one thing: if you're painting parts to look cleaner, it's not a rat rod. This bike is cool but shes just a hot rod, nothing ratty about it :)
😅 I did call it a Ratt Rocket though, not a Rat Rod. I hope your XR project turns out awesome!
