Hey im Shawn, I am an US Army Veteran. I grew up riding until about 12yrs old. My dad passed, and I just lost the passion to ride. Joined the military when I found out I was going to be a Dad myself, So I joined and got my ass handed to me physically and mentally. Then 2 months away from being discharged, I lost my wife to suicide. At that point I desperately needed a healthy way to cope, so I got back into dirtbikes which saved my life. Now I install Roofs, gutters, and HVAC systems in 120°!!! Anyway, I appreciate everything you do man. Watching your videos definitely makes a difference in my life as well!! Cheers
I worked 50 years as an Ironworker, moved to Az to retire and race MX, then spent so much money on bikes, had to go back to work to support my MX addiction like a 17-year-old
50 years in one of the toughest trades! That’s incredible. You guys do some heavy stuff. I remember walking under some red tape as an apprentice with ironworkers welding above me. Like an idiot, ha ha ha! Sometimes you have to learn the hard way. Thanks for sharing and good to see you are still a dirtbike addict!
This is Dale. Rip local trails and track on the weekend and deliver your packages during the week. Even been fortunate enough to deliver packages to your shop and get a tour from you guys. SO RAD! Thanks for the inspiration 🤙🏻
Hey I'm Roger and I'm a recovering addict, I have a little under 8yrs of sobriety and for work I am a sober living house manager. Love the vids bc they occupy my mind during down time. Love dirt bikes even more!! Lol
Hi my name is Fernando and I’m a diesel mechanic for a manufacturing company. You are the reason why last year for my 41 birthday I bought a Rmz450. Never owned or ridden a dirt bike in my life but you inspired me to go for it. I love it
What up I’m Nick! I’m a 19 year old tech school student and a CNC machinist. During my time as a student I’ve been able to make some of my own bits and pieces to my bikes. My most recent and favorite project was boring out my 03 yz250 triple clamps for slightly larger 04 forks I scored for cheap. Watching your videos keep me motivated to go above and beyond with my steel frame build, as well as inspired me to take a few videos of some of the interesting custom machining work and restoration along the way. Cant wait to share the videos with everyone.
Started in the US Navy as an Aviation Electronics Tech and Rescue Swimmer (HS-11 Helicopter squadron) Now in the Semiconductor industry and a Field Service Engineer. Bike is looking awesome!!! I love the Cryo Heat Idea, I bet it will shift like butter!!. As always, awesome stuff Charles!!
I’m a 57yr old union (although I’m not a “lefty”) commercial/industrial HVAC, refrigeration, and boiler mechanic of 34yrs in Oregon (5yrs to retirement!). I appreciate all things that are done well, which is why I enjoy MXR and MXSS… y’all are world class (good natured) “wise-guys” (LOL), and are serious mechanical artists! I own and enjoy 3 dirt bikes, one dual sport bike, and a Harley. After I retire I plan to buy, fix up, and sell used dirt bikes when I’m not out riding or Jeepin’ in my Gladiator. Charles, you’re spot on about doing your own thing, I remember back when you were (awesomely) building out that box trailer in Cali to be your workshop, now look at ya! Keep on keepin’ on! 👍🏼
Love this! Thank you for sharing! I remember all the Union guys being pushed to vote Dem... I never did get into the politics, makes me wanna barf. Although I appreciate the reasoning & how/ why unions are great. Gave me everything I worked hard for. Dude, what are you going to do after you retire???!!! Rad! Thank you, bro. Dream chasing really gives a guy that edge I tend to see on the faces of the lost souls who gave up & don't even realize it... Have a great day, my dude!
Im a 30yo 2nd generation dairy farmer from New York. Working 90+ hours a week any time I’m not on the farm my second passion is anything moto! I’m always spending time wrenching on my fiancé and my ever growing dirtbike collection or riding moto. Inspired by you and many other dirtbike enthusiasts I built my first frame up resto mod a 99 KX250. Love the videos might have to try this cryo heat on the transmission of my next build!
Sup brother, hope your weekends going well. Im 35 and a full time care giver for my fully disabled brother. I don't get rich doing what I do. Sometimes, there's more important things in life besides only money, and family, for me, it is one of those things. I build two strokes as my hobby though when I get free time, love building up the old two strokes. Appreciate ya and these videos you have been putting out over the years. Stay blessed bro 🙏 🙌 and good luck to everyone, who ever wins this bike will be stoked no doubt.
I'm 30 years old and I'm in the controls/ low voltage/hvac business. I install and wire hvac controls, exhaust fans, humidifiers, damper actuators, etc. Also run communication wire to all the devices back to a panel in data rooms so that the company can log in to there network and manage there hvac from the computer!
I'm Chris, a union heavy equipment operator, liked your message on not givin a F what others think and keep movin forward!! Actuallly needed to hear that right now, thx Charles. Enjoy the vids on both channels
Hey Chris! Thanks for watching the video and for dropping a comment! Truth be told, you were exactly who I was talking to in that case 💪 keep it pinned and screw the rest, my friend!
Grew up riding an old Suzuki my dad got me for my 10th birthday at a yard sale for $70 that was older than me. Freakin loved that bike. Then bought a 2002 honda cr250r brand new when I was 19 and freaking love that bike. Still have her and will never get rid of it. I just got a brand new Crf450r. My first four stroke. I have a yz125, rm125, xr100, ltz400, and a trx400ex my kids ride. I love wrenching on all my bikes. Took 15 years to accumulate all these and love it. I did construction running heavy equipment for 10 years with Operating Engineers local 12 and loved it but hated driving all over California for work. Now I work for the Water District for the past 8 years wrenching on water treatment plants. Love my job but would rather wrench on dirt bikes all day. Brother you’re living my dream. I want to start buying bikes, fixing them up then flipping them in my free time. Hope your channel blows up and hoping to win this bad ass bike to keep of course not to sell👍🏻
Fiber Optic Sales Engineer for Corning. I made it my goal to work there after a lot of people said I would never be able to get in. My hard work and a passion for learning has proven that it was the best place for me to go! BTW, the seat couldn’t be any more perfect!
Isn't that the best? Then you get to "rub it in" with more hard work. The best, most fulfilling type of middle finger 💪 Thank you, I hope that fresh seat ends up under your a$$!
Hi, I’m a first year heavy equipment mechanic apprentice. Going away for first round of school/ training next month. I really liked the information about the seat as well as the transmission
I’m Joe, 27 years old originally from New England. Family of 11 kids seven boys four girls. All the boys and girls in my family rode dirt bikes growing up. Moved away from home 7 years ago live in Illinois now. Been a plumber for the last four years. Funny knowing this is what we are all doing when we get home from work, wrenching on our bikes. Can’t wait to get my 1991 cr 500 put back together that you did my engine. Appreciate all the knowledge and these videos every week.
Dude, I had a blast fixing and vapor blasting your 500 cylinder! The bottom man came out so cool too with the Cerakote. I really appreciate you sending that. You guys have a massive family! That’s wild. Cool you got to ride dirt bikes, growing up. Seems like most of the riders in here are also tradesmen. Definitely keep up with it and learn everything you can. It’ll make a bright future. Looking forward to dropping more videos for you and everyone else. Thanks for being a part of it. 🙏🫵
Josh here 27, Jack of all trades master of none. Last 5 years I’ve spent operating 12’ diameter granite saws building mausoleums and column barium’s. Before that I loaded and hauled round wood up in the middle of nowhere canada. Been riding since I was 2 on my 1983 jr50. Didn’t turn into local pro until I was 24!
I was a tower crane operator in 🇨🇦. Some jobs 40 stories up in the air. We have our local track in the middle of the city. So in between lifts I was in my binoculars watching people hit the huge jump and jumping down into the valley. Loved it. But since my bike accident I haven't worked or rode. But now I'm healthy and good to go. I can't afford a new bike Winning this will be life changing. I'm praying 🙏 Charles I love your show. It gives me hope that one day I can ride again and have my life back. Thank you
I know how bad you want it, Don! That’s a super cool story, always got a kick out of tower cranes, especially when they are packed into crowded downtown areas. Always thought it was wild! Because it is! My fingers are crossed for you on this one, and I appreciate you being a part of what I’m doing. Means the world to me. You are going to Ride again, no matter what. Whether I exist or not!
Automotive parts advisor, started in Meridian Idaho at Oreillys at 20 years old. Worked my way up to manager with in 2 years. Got a store in Nampa then to the another store in Nampa off of 12th Ave. After that moved to Florida started with Oreillys, went to harley Davidson then back to Automotive industry to BMW as a parts advisor now. Which is what pays to not only allow me to ride but also my two sons. My 3year old on a crf and my 11 year old on his new to him yz85 which he doesn't know about yet, he's currently back in Idaho visiting family and he's going to come home to a HUGE surprise and can't wait to see him rip the 85. Coming from a ttr110! Keep up the amazing work. If I ever make it to Idaho again would love to meet you!!
I am working as a housekeeper at our local VA hospital. I am an Army and Desert Storm vet, so I get to hang out with my brothers and sisters while keeping a clean and sanitary environment for them!
I love that, Todd! Really cool to finally know what you do as well. Thank you for sharing and for your service. As well as taking care of your brothers and sisters that served as well.
I am a John Deere technician in school. Also while not fixing my bikes I am doing power sports repair on the side. Thanks for the great videos full of information.
Retired law enforcement officer of 29 years, started working on bikes when I was 12 cause my dad was a diesel mechanic so lots of on the job training in mechanic work. Now I still teach in law enforcement occasionally, wrench on bikes, ATVs, and jet skis. Then I work quite a bit with an epoxy company part time pouring and designing floors, walls and countertops. I’m busier now in my 50s than I could have ever imagined. I pass my mechanic knowledge to my kid and his friends along the way since they all love to ride.
That’s killer! I always wondered if that was a difficult career because I can’t sit still. You are in the house of Suzuki for sure! Still riding them and absolutely love them.
@@mxrevival I loved driving and working alone since I was a kid, so it was a no brainers. Have to admit when you went blue you lost me, since I always admired and now own three Suzuki's myself you have my attention again.
I am an apparel designer currently transitioning from avant-garde fashion to moto leather clothing. Really appreciate your attention for detail. Came to your channel a couple years ago because of my love for motorcycles and curiosity about wrenching and fixing stuff, and stayed because of your creativity and thorough work. I remember when you talked about being an electrician in the youtube video when you showed us around that cool motorcycle trailer. (not sure if you still have it, but that was another cool build.) You’ve got a seriously good skill set, Charles! Thank you for sharing it all with us here.
Hey! Thanks for sharing a little more about yourself & for the kind words! I picked / read & your comment off on episode 6, as my DeCal Works graphics winner! CONGRATS! Please reach out to me via my website contact link with your bike details so I can get your new kit started: www.mxrevival.com/contact Thanks for being a part of these videos for so long- trailer days! -Charles // mXrevival
What's up Charles. I'm Matt, 40 years old. I'm a pipeline controller in West Texas(10 years). Can't wait to snag a graphics set so i can finally order plastic from you. Lol
Started with state parks and now work for the national parks- LAKE. Been riding bikes for 30+ years and am wrestling with a 03 rm250 on the jetting and enjoy your videos
Hey dude! I’ll start by saying THANK YOU for being a part of so many mXrevival bike builds and giveaways! So epic, I can’t thank you enough. Also, I think your career is my most interesting “pick” so far in this comment thread! I had to look it up, that’s really cool.
What haven't I done. From Ace Hardware as my first job in high school to running a car wash and owning a landscaping business. Been divorced for 4 years with 2 girls in grade school. I now work as a parts manager for a Kawasaki dealership is AZ. So cool getting to see where everyone is coming from, and what a great idea for a comment giveaway 👍
Hey I'm Jordan. I work as an automotive technician which is super interesting on its own, but it's actually dirt bikes that got me into it. My best friend's dad got me into bikes and always made us clean them every ride and do all the maintenance and work ourselves, that led to me working on my own cars when I was old enough and eventually landed a job in the trade. I still wrench on my own bikes (have an 02 yz250 and a '99 yz125 that's a project) and friends bikes when I have time.
I just want to say thank you again for the tyre stickers. I’m picking up my first brand new dirt bike in a couple of days and they will look sick on the bike!
30 year mechanic/racer. Been riding since i was 4.at age 6 got a new yz 60.my cousin was a young owner of a gas station with a repair shop. Parents didn't have money so my cousin kept me on bikes. Was racing and got really good locally. My cousin got murdered and my racing moto stopped. Parents did everything to keep me on bmx bikes and the money ran out. 18 started racing snowmobiles on the ice grass etc. worked at a repair shop for 15 years went out on my own in 08 till 11 and failed. Framed houses for 10 years body got beat up went back to a dealer. We would get layed off over the winter. Got the opportunity to open up a shop again and hear i am broke struggling but love what i do. And success will hopefully come. Keep dreaming and keep working and grinding and it will happen. I hope lol
Charles what's going on dude ? I am late to the show as I was out mowing the lawn ( 2 acres) ugg I worked at a small cycle shop for many years then went to a Suzuki Kawasaki ski doo Polaris dealer for a few years and now with Toyota for the last 25 years and am 55 years old and 😮😮😮😮😮 have been racing mx since 1977 and still going strong ❤ great video always enjoy ❤ say hey too Uncle Tony for me - love the RM I raced RM 125-250s for ten years in a row !!! Soft spot for all Zooks ❤
I’m Robert from Sweden, I do motocross and heavy motorcycle restoration work full time. Mostly vintage bikes. I have my own powder coating shop and fully equipped with any sandblast stuff. I do engine restoration work on any 2 and 4 stroke engines. Have my own machine shop, enough equipment for reproduce pistons, cylinder liners, piston rings, etc. However I do not yet rebuild cylinders with Nikacil. And I do not make gear box gears and front forks. All else I reproduce if needed. Currently restoring a Suzuki RM125 model R/S 1994 and the next is a Kawasaki Z750D 1998. Both full rebuilds with powder coating absolutely all metal parts on the bikes. Time consuming jobs but I enjoy it so much 😊
I think this is one of my favorite comments! Thank you for sharing, that is extremely impressive. I also appreciate you taking time out of your day to watch the video and let us know some more about you. Have a great day, my friend!
Electrical engineer and software engineer for drones (currently) by day and by night I occasionally do CAD designs for guys that build and giveaway sweet dirtbikes!
I am an airline pilot for a Canadian airline ( the one that doesn’t have “Canada” in the name). Growing up I always wanted to be an electrician like my father who was in the Navy, and passed when I was 11 (FUCK CANCER). But my uncle was a pilot and he arranged an intro to flying lesson for my cousin and I got to ride along. My older cousin didn’t care for it but I was bitten by the flying bug and chased it doggedly ever since. Now fly 737s. Seemed an impossible hill to climb at times coming from a single income military family, but now I am so fortunate to be able to say I’ve achieved my dream! Don’t let others judge you and don’t bow to what others want for you - enough determination will generate the luck you need to make it happen.
Thanks for addressing one of the most important performance mods on a bike. For me, nothing is as distracting as a hard shifting unreliable trans. I’m a publisher by accident, well sort of. Along with the many trades I’ve worked in,they all tie together. In high school I became a certified offset printer in graphic arts. And certified autobody repair. I’ve been a top motorcycle salesman, plumber, and radio voice over guy. Learning from each and taking bits from each prepared me for publishing my own magazines. My first published photo was in the 80s of a buddy jumping his factory Cagiva. It was used for their promotional ad package. Little did I know that my love of moto would prepare me for publishing photos of things that don’t move. Homes! Though much of my industry, “ Real Estate “ is web driven, photos are still the most important part of the ad package. In my personal life, getting shots of rides with buddies is my personal pleasure. I treasure each memory. I’m going to bookmark that cryo trans place after I post this. Thanks
I am 28 and I work in information technology. Currently doing mostly remote support to businesses were contracted to provide technical support to. I also build and setup servers that get deployed on site with clients. Working my way into information security and networking. I am wheelchair bound due to cerebral palsy, but i grew up riding quads around my dad and his group of moto friends. Spent many weekends at the races. Been to all but one or two millville pro races in the last ~25 years When im not riding i enjoy playing video games with friends, and collecting pocket knives.
@@mxrevival definitely wouldn't have been possible without my great father doing whatever he could do include me despite my disability. I may only be rolling around the track on a 200cc Polaris Phoenix "kids" quad but it sure beats not being out there.
Exactly who cares what anybody else thinks as long as you’re happy with what you’re doing and it’s what you want doesn’t matter when anybody else thinks
Truer words have never been spoken! Unfortunately, the society we live in is absolutely enamored with what other people think. I got stoked when people realize it and break out of their shells
For sure! You can use the contact link for mXrevival that is in the description, and I can personally liaise 100% of it. Seamless, fast, and fun! Looking forward to helping you! it also really helps my shop, so thanks in advance 😍 That sounds like a job that keeps you busy!
Super interesting career! I remember some of my foreman back in the electrical career days heading out to wind and solar farms and thought it was pretty nuts. Also get a kick out of watching those big ass blades go down the freeway to their final destination
Just like my RMZ, the mag hubs and yellow gold. Not the classic gold. instagram.com/p/C9fRlN4PIVX/?igsh=MWw0MGF2M25hZHdlZA== Hope your Suzuki Build is moving along great and you can always email me for more information. Happy to help you.
@@mxrevival build is non existent at this point. Lots of parts acquired but its too hot to F around in the garage after work. Been fishing on the weekends.
Im Daz, soon to be Gunsmith Ar and M4 ARA & i customized future additions for the 1911/2011 modifieds comp Firearms with other fabricators. im a bargin to deal with..completely misunderstood and enjoy showcasing banging Gears maidening the old 250 2 strokes like stealth bombers. Cause itusually aint over till all the mad dads are pointing at me.
I’m 53. All my f#cks were given at 30. I have been without since and that’s when life begins. I am going to run my first Enduro next spring. I am an IT contractor. I can’t get a full time job because I am honest and I always do the right thing for my client and not for me.
This is the first video of yours that I’ve watched. You are doing beautiful work on these builds but as the video went on, one issue came up for me… calling your bikes a “giveaway” is false advertising. “Give” means FREE! If you have to buy a ticket to enter, your bikes are actually “Raffle” bikes. Just my .02¢ even though I’m giving it free.
Thanks for watching! I appreciate your feedback. It is in fact sort of a blanket term. Just like every other truck, car, tractor, boat giveaway. When you’re doing what I’m doing, and for a couple of years, you figure out the best way to appeal to your audience and also make it relatable & quickly understood that said item can be “won”. This particular giveaway is raffle style. Our other bike builds have been donation style, where we give a lot of money to charity afterwards. Hence, the relatable blanket term, a.k.a. giveaway. It is the easiest way to describe what people like myself are doing. Hope that makes sense & I hope you have a great weekend. PS, you didn’t tell us what you do for a living?

Winning this will be life changing. I'm praying 🙏 Charles I love your show. It gives me hope that one day I can ride again and have my life back. Thank you
I know how bad you want it, Don!
That’s a super cool story, always got a kick out of tower cranes, especially when they are packed into crowded downtown areas. Always thought it was wild! Because it is!
My fingers are crossed for you on this one, and I appreciate you being a part of what I’m doing. Means the world to me.
You are going to Ride again, no matter what. Whether I exist or not!
Automotive parts advisor, started in Meridian Idaho at Oreillys at 20 years old. Worked my way up to manager with in 2 years. Got a store in Nampa then to the another store in Nampa off of 12th Ave. After that moved to Florida started with Oreillys, went to harley Davidson then back to Automotive industry to BMW as a parts advisor now. Which is what pays to not only allow me to ride but also my two sons. My 3year old on a crf and my 11 year old on his new to him yz85 which he doesn't know about yet, he's currently back in Idaho visiting family and he's going to come home to a HUGE surprise and can't wait to see him rip the 85. Coming from a ttr110! Keep up the amazing work. If I ever make it to Idaho again would love to meet you!!
I am working as a housekeeper at our local VA hospital. I am an Army and Desert Storm vet, so I get to hang out with my brothers and sisters while keeping a clean and sanitary environment for them!
I love that, Todd! Really cool to finally know what you do as well. Thank you for sharing and for your service. As well as taking care of your brothers and sisters that served as well.
I am a John Deere technician in school. Also while not fixing my bikes I am doing power sports repair on the side. Thanks for the great videos full of information.
Retired law enforcement officer of 29 years, started working on bikes when I was 12 cause my dad was a diesel mechanic so lots of on the job training in mechanic work. Now I still teach in law enforcement occasionally, wrench on bikes, ATVs, and jet skis. Then I work quite a bit with an epoxy company part time pouring and designing floors, walls and countertops. I’m busier now in my 50s than I could have ever imagined. I pass my mechanic knowledge to my kid and his friends along the way since they all love to ride.
63 yr old hwy trucker, glad to see you building a couple of Suzuki's.
That’s killer! I always wondered if that was a difficult career because I can’t sit still.
You are in the house of Suzuki for sure! Still riding them and absolutely love them.
@@mxrevival I loved driving and working alone since I was a kid, so it was a no brainers. Have to admit when you went blue you lost me, since I always admired and now own three Suzuki's myself you have my attention again.
I am an apparel designer currently transitioning from avant-garde fashion to moto leather clothing. Really appreciate your attention for detail. Came to your channel a couple years ago because of my love for motorcycles and curiosity about wrenching and fixing stuff, and stayed because of your creativity and thorough work. I remember when you talked about being an electrician in the youtube video when you showed us around that cool motorcycle trailer. (not sure if you still have it, but that was another cool build.) You’ve got a seriously good skill set, Charles! Thank you for sharing it all with us here.
Hey! Thanks for sharing a little more about yourself & for the kind words! I picked / read & your comment off on episode 6, as my DeCal Works graphics winner! CONGRATS! Please reach out to me via my website contact link with your bike details so I can get your new kit started: www.mxrevival.com/contact
Thanks for being a part of these videos for so long- trailer days!

Sweet bike!

Stay relentless my dude!

Whats up, Charles? I'm Dewayne, I've been an Extruder operator for over 20 years. We make all kinds of food and medical labels and packaging.
Hey dude! I’ll start by saying THANK YOU for being a part of so many mXrevival bike builds and giveaways! So epic, I can’t thank you enough.
Also, I think your career is my most interesting “pick” so far in this comment thread! I had to look it up, that’s really cool.
What haven't I done. From Ace Hardware as my first job in high school to running a car wash and owning a landscaping business. Been divorced for 4 years with 2 girls in grade school. I now work as a parts manager for a Kawasaki dealership is AZ. So cool getting to see where everyone is coming from, and what a great idea for a comment giveaway 👍
Im a Chiropractor by day, husband and father the rest of the time! Sweet build so far
Nice!! You're fixing broken-ass fools like me all the time (moto guys) I bet 😂😂
@@mxrevival all day
Hey I'm Jordan. I work as an automotive technician which is super interesting on its own, but it's actually dirt bikes that got me into it. My best friend's dad got me into bikes and always made us clean them every ride and do all the maintenance and work ourselves, that led to me working on my own cars when I was old enough and eventually landed a job in the trade. I still wrench on my own bikes (have an 02 yz250 and a '99 yz125 that's a project) and friends bikes when I have time.
I'm an automotive machinist / engine builder but bikes is where my heart is
Always get a kick out of machinists & their wizardry 💪
I just want to say thank you again for the tyre stickers. I’m picking up my first brand new dirt bike in a couple of days and they will look sick on the bike!
Bro, absolutely!! Thanks for winning those on our MSXX channel! That's so rad
30 year mechanic/racer. Been riding since i was 4.at age 6 got a new yz 60.my cousin was a young owner of a gas station with a repair shop. Parents didn't have money so my cousin kept me on bikes. Was racing and got really good locally. My cousin got murdered and my racing moto stopped. Parents did everything to keep me on bmx bikes and the money ran out. 18 started racing snowmobiles on the ice grass etc. worked at a repair shop for 15 years went out on my own in 08 till 11 and failed. Framed houses for 10 years body got beat up went back to a dealer. We would get layed off over the winter. Got the opportunity to open up a shop again and hear i am broke struggling but love what i do. And success will hopefully come. Keep dreaming and keep working and grinding and it will happen. I hope lol
Retired Army Vet/ Truck Driver. I’ve been riding for 50years, dirt,atc’s,atvs,street and now dual purpose
So awesome, something I aspire to do as well
Charles what's going on dude ? I am late to the show as I was out mowing the lawn ( 2 acres) ugg I worked at a small cycle shop for many years then went to a Suzuki Kawasaki ski doo Polaris dealer for a few years and now with Toyota for the last 25 years and am 55 years old and 😮😮😮😮😮 have been racing mx since 1977 and still going strong ❤ great video always enjoy ❤ say hey too Uncle Tony for me - love the RM I raced RM 125-250s for ten years in a row !!! Soft spot for all Zooks ❤
I’m Robert from Sweden, I do motocross and heavy motorcycle restoration work full time. Mostly vintage bikes. I have my own powder coating shop and fully equipped with any sandblast stuff.
I do engine restoration work on any 2 and 4 stroke engines.
Have my own machine shop, enough equipment for reproduce pistons, cylinder liners, piston rings, etc.
However I do not yet rebuild cylinders with Nikacil. And I do not make gear box gears and front forks. All else I reproduce if needed.
Currently restoring a Suzuki RM125 model R/S 1994 and the next is a Kawasaki Z750D 1998. Both full rebuilds with powder coating absolutely all metal parts on the bikes. Time consuming jobs but I enjoy it so much 😊
I think this is one of my favorite comments! Thank you for sharing, that is extremely impressive.
I also appreciate you taking time out of your day to watch the video and let us know some more about you.
Have a great day, my friend!

I am an airline pilot for a Canadian airline ( the one that doesn’t have “Canada” in the name). Growing up I always wanted to be an electrician like my father who was in the Navy, and passed when I was 11 (FUCK CANCER). But my uncle was a pilot and he arranged an intro to flying lesson for my cousin and I got to ride along. My older cousin didn’t care for it but I was bitten by the flying bug and chased it doggedly ever since. Now fly 737s.
Seemed an impossible hill to climb at times coming from a single income military family, but now I am so fortunate to be able to say I’ve achieved my dream!
Don’t let others judge you and don’t bow to what others want for you - enough determination will generate the luck you need to make it happen.
Union Sparky just like you, local 569. Your good ass dude Charles. If I ever see you in person, I'm shaking your hand 🤝.
Looking forward to it, brother! Thanks for watching it for the super kind words
Thanks for addressing one of the most important performance mods on a bike.
For me, nothing is as distracting as a hard shifting unreliable trans.
I’m a publisher by accident, well sort of. Along with the many trades I’ve worked in,they all tie together.
In high school I became a certified offset printer in graphic arts. And certified autobody repair.
I’ve been a top motorcycle salesman, plumber, and radio voice over guy. Learning from each and taking bits from each prepared me for publishing my own magazines.
My first published photo was in the 80s of a buddy jumping his factory Cagiva. It was used for their promotional ad package. Little did I know that my love of moto would prepare me for publishing photos of things that don’t move. Homes!
Though much of my industry, “ Real Estate “ is web driven, photos are still the most important part of the ad package. In my personal life, getting shots of rides with buddies is my personal pleasure. I treasure each memory.
I’m going to bookmark that cryo trans place after I post this.
Thanks

This is such a killer post! Nothing can stop you my man. Thank you for sharing such an awesome story with all of us 💪
@@mxrevival definitely wouldn't have been possible without my great father doing whatever he could do include me despite my disability. I may only be rolling around the track on a 200cc Polaris Phoenix "kids" quad but it sure beats not being out there.
I have a 06 RM 250 Guts seat foam was a perfect fit for stock seat pan.
Good to know! I could’ve sworn that’s what I ordered, but it must’ve been Moto Seat on RMATVMC
Exactly who cares what anybody else thinks as long as you’re happy with what you’re doing and it’s what you want doesn’t matter when anybody else thinks
Truer words have never been spoken! Unfortunately, the society we live in is absolutely enamored with what other people think.
I got stoked when people realize it and break out of their shells
Can you put a link in to send to decal works for trick decal installs..commercial estimator for apartments, restaurants and other buildings.
For sure! You can use the contact link for mXrevival that is in the description, and I can personally liaise 100% of it.
Seamless, fast, and fun!

That sounds like a job that keeps you busy!
Your builds are so clean beautiful works of art mate keep it up.
Thank you my man!
Another great video!!!
Huge thanks, appreciate you being here for them

Are those gold wheels or yellow on the customers bike (5:50) Charles? Look gold to me but thought I'd ask.
Just like my RMZ, the mag hubs and yellow gold. Not the classic gold. instagram.com/p/C9fRlN4PIVX/?igsh=MWw0MGF2M25hZHdlZA==
Hope your Suzuki Build is moving along great and you can always email me for more information. Happy to help you.

This is the first video of yours that I’ve watched. You are doing beautiful work on these builds but as the video went on, one issue came up for me… calling your bikes a “giveaway” is false advertising. “Give” means FREE! If you have to buy a ticket to enter, your bikes are actually “Raffle” bikes. Just my .02¢ even though I’m giving it free.
Thanks for watching! I appreciate your feedback. It is in fact sort of a blanket term. Just like every other truck, car, tractor, boat giveaway.
When you’re doing what I’m doing, and for a couple of years, you figure out the best way to appeal to your audience and also make it relatable & quickly understood that said item can be “won”.
This particular giveaway is raffle style. Our other bike builds have been donation style, where we give a lot of money to charity afterwards.
Hence, the relatable blanket term, a.k.a. giveaway.
It is the easiest way to describe what people like myself are doing.
Hope that makes sense & I hope you have a great weekend.
PS, you didn’t tell us what you do for a living?
