$150.00 bike + garage to fix it + wife with a good sense of humor = blessed life! My wife wouldn't have even made the trip to the ridin' place. Great video of a great story.
I've just found this video, and I gotta say, the editing on this was really nice in my opinion, and the relationship between the two of you is phenomenal! Stay safe!
Man, I love this channel. This is the first video I've seen from the creators, but I love the can-do-attitude that they share. Working on a bike isn't always fun. They make it look fun tho.
You guys just have so much fun it is great to watch. From the back and forth burns and come backs to your wife trying new things and learning to ride...great stuff.👍
I have to say, you two are GREAT together! I always enjoy watching your videos, as much for your interaction with each other as for your great subjects.
Why do I watch you two? I like you, you two have a lovely interaction. It is beautiful to watch you two love each other in these nasty projects, in which most of us cuss and throw stuff during said projects. Your patience is legend.
incredible buy, the kdx200 is arguably the best all around built proof, fast enough, motorcycle with well set up suspension from the factory. You really can not go wrong with one.
For some weird reason this video popped up in my feed ( I don't watch dirt bike videos) when I saw the thumbnail I new that it was a kdx200! I miss my old 88 kdx200. I remember it feeling so insanely fast. I'd have my friends ride on the back and scare the shit out of them lol. Unfortunately one day I was riding it to a party in the woods and it started revving full throttle by itself and I couldn't shut it off so it ended up seizing the motor. Then I traded it for 2 ounces of weed. Aww I miss being a teenager.
Just found your channel and I love it. You're a blessed man. Your content is so useful and to the point without all the blah blah blah. Jen is very witty and smart with her comments. She's also fearless to ride that bike even though it's prolly a lil to much bike for her, but she was smart and mostly stayed in first gear. If she continues to ride it regularly I know she'll start ripping around as she gains confidence and learn how the bike responds. That $150 bike is a treasure find. I'm 66 years old and still enjoy my dual sport and street bike. Thanks guys.
@@terranovnicek1567 most secondhand owner out there are retarded. just running the bike for 1min without 2stroke oil will ruin it. the average cost of a rebuild is more than the bike is worth. brand new those bike are barely running, so can you imagine after 15-20years of neglect? no its not worth taking the risk of buying one used. you are WAY better off buying a 4stroke. also as soon as i see stickers or aftermarket parts i aint buying.
I love your "I don't know what could possibly be wrong with this, so lets problem solve 1 step at a time" approach. Not only entertaining but actually teaches me how to approach similar problems on any number of other motors/devices.
lol this is the first video of him i've seen and within the first few min of him talkin i was thinkin to myself, won't be long before he starts talking about flux capacitors...
I read this and was like "What an asshole!" But then i read the responses and realized that i took it out of context. I was thought you were implying that the blind man was glad to be blind and not have to see her smile." Show's how messed up my train of thought is...
Love this channel. You are pretty much every gearhead in the way you acquire bikes. Well done! You’re channel is only going to grow and grow and grow!!! Love it!
jonnoMoto can somone help me i dont know w to get a atv or a dirt bike???? And price and engene size i have a ebike so i can ride but all i need to learn is how to use the clutch i can handle a big bike am a big 15 year old am 6.2 feet or 1.90meter plz help if i can
Fahed Awwad 0473 Both are fun as hell to ride...But I would recommend a sport quad like a ltz400, raptor or any of the 450's...once you learn the clutch, which is real simple you will have a lot of fun on any one of them...an added bonus with a quad is that you can take it out for a rip in the snow if you get snow where you live...that's a lot of fun too
You did find your awesome and Jen did okay to...# I know I'm a few years late but I like watching them again and again and again it's good content and its worth seconds and thirds and forth looks
Been riding kdx bikes for years but have always been a hack mechanic. Now, I can tear into it thanks to youtube, and the service manual... Seriously, you pro mechanics show us hacks all your tricks. THANKS!
I'm not too much into dirt bikes... stumbled across this video. You honestly deserve much more subscribers than you have. It's a shame people like Roblox more than mechanics. Such a knowledgeable person.
You realize, now that you bought this bike and it's running you will have to do the exact same thing to this one as you are doing to the project bike. But you really need to get focused and get back to the project bike. Jen get your old man back to work don't let him get sidetracked. But thanks for the vid.
Love it! Bought a 1990 KDX 200 in boxes years ago due to the original owner actually running the bike with just straight gas lol! After a top to bottom rebuild I still have fun on it to this day
First time I watch any of your videos, but certainly not the last, I really enjoyed it. Also, you two seem like a great couple. I hope I find a wife as lovely as yours some day soon 😅
I fast forwarded to the last part so i could see this run. I have the same problem you have apparently except im older. LOL I went a head and subscribed. I have approx 30 or so bikes I have collected , all 1 cyl. Old bad ass thumper's. i have a rule ov 100 oe less dollars generally. :o) Oh yeah, I fast forwarded because I have been up all night watching you do stuff that I should be getting done here. I rabbit holed from the huskavarna because I got a 5 dollar torro 4 cycle weed eater yesterday. and i am now crashing., doc appt today in a few hours ha!
Were you tired? Best line in the video, but i was surprised she didnt say it, as she is the witty one usually. Great find, the seller is probably kicking dirt cuz that $150 is probably spent by now.
Thank you. The shasta project is the next thing after I'm done with the kdx. I regret leaving people hanging on the trailer, but if I switch back now, I'll just do the same thing to people who are interested in the bike. Like Jen said in the beginning, I'm really trying to stick to one project at a time.
Yeah please don't half-ass on projects. I really like your channel but was very disappointed when there were no more SHASTA videos. I really like the editing you did and this video was cool because of the part you was riding the bike.
You two are so much like my wife an I. You two look like you have a blast together. So many people dont know how great it is to be married to your best friend! Great video really enjoyed it!👍
And I've gotta admit.....ur relationship with ur wife is amazing. I've been trying to get my marriage back to "square" for the past 2 years and can't figure it out. If there is such a thing as finding ur soulmate, u have struck gold my friend!!
Dude, my dad had a white one he bought when new. I remember him selling it a few yrs later. My earliest memories are riding on it with him. I actually have a factory white 91 kdx 200. It does have a stupid green rear fender though. I came find the replacement for it. Took it from Washington to Moab and it ran better than the tm 125 and kawi 125 2 strokes. Awesome machine!
You should get more cheap dirtbikes and do the same thing. Flip them.. include the whole process in the vid, from looking around, purchase, rebuild (or whatever), and sale. Kind of like “Fast n Loud” but for dirtbikes.
I would say say you made out like a bandit for 150 dollars! I bought a 1994 ZX600E Ninja for 900 bucks and drove it 2 hrs back home that day. Had to do some work to it but I rode all the way out to Colorado Springs and back in two days. It was epic! Loved the video glad you are keeping some older bikes alive out there!
Hi, love the videos, in Australia we got 2 versions of the early 90,s KDX 200, 1 was the KDX 200 e and the other was the F model, the F model was a street legal version of the E, due to our stupid road rules in oz the F had a steel fuel tank and a much smaller carburetor (28 mil ) as opposed to the E which had a 35mil, they also had oil injection ( F ) plus a horn, indicators and rear brake light, I owned an 200 F and trying to convert it to the E model was an expensive pain in the arse, I'm pretty sure that you only got the E model in the US, why we ever stuffed around with 2 models of the same bike is anyone's guess, but to do it the way they did,it was way beyond belief. Keep the videos coming. 👍👍👍. Cheers Tony.
Surprisingly accurate and good info in this video you guys pleasantly surprised.. good job both of you! Videos like this make me want to hit the classifieds! ;)

Neat camera trick with that rear Shock n' spring!
You Are The Best Couple Ever!! I am so happy while watching your stuff . Take Care Happy ridings
I love that she said the Shasta is the primary project!!!
Had to be the most glorious $150 find of a lifetime!! I've always wanted that bike and some day I'll have one. Thanks for sharing.
That was one hell of a bargain! Sweet ride and cute camera girl. You're a lucky man, and I hope you appreciate it. :)
have a nice day and take care.
Jen's off camera heckling remarks are hilarious, she cracks me up. Great channel you have here!
Jennie's smile would make a blind man happy .
Indeed it would. Sunrise here in the UK and her smile is way brighter and nicer. What a steal for $150 is that bike?

No such thing as a bike to big. You never saw that midget on the 300cc motorcycle?

That rear shock change edit was flawless
Oil injection tank LOL
I laughed then immediately gasped after I realized what it might have meant... Luckily the gas in it had color that indicated oil mixture.
I believe some Ktms have oil injection in
I had a 1990 kdx 200 2stroke that had one and I bypassed it and mixed the fuel and oil myself
She was sooo happy when you said you needed to fix the other kdx. Great videos! 👍
Awesome Deal, Great to see your wife riding the bike, seeing your son help out was cool also. Now about that shasta. whats the dillio on that project?
