Dude, your son is getting BUFF! You aren't looking so bad yourself!!! 💪Thanks for everything you have taught me...because of you I've progressed, and own two new big bore bikes - a 19' 300cc 2 stroke with built engine from Tm Racing, and a 22 Honda 450 CRF450R-S that's getting a full factory engine mod & tune from XPR Motorsports!!! I can't thank you guys enough...wanted to kill myself from Iraq and 5 deployments when I was just 19 years old...but dirt bikes made things better, and God really gave me a new desire to live! :)

[@dirtbiketv1]

We're happy to have you here!

[@goodboyringo9716]

Being that many people like the KX 500 and other ( CR250 ) 2 strokes , you would think the manufactures would build these bikes again.
The big reasons that don't build them again is the racing doesn't support them, money, money money !

[@pentecost66]

I got was these out back in the shed I think it’s a 2004 I should get it out someday and go for a ride.

[@dnrg62]

Nice build ,yes these projects take longer than most people realise ,once you have done one of these builds you know the pain involved lol 👍

[@DaveBegotka]

Raced a KX500 up Pikes Peak in 1999.....5th place 500 pro......i also super motoed it....your average man cannot ride one of these you become weak in the knees and pant

[@hkramer52]

That cam out awesome!! great build would love to have one just to take out once n awhile.

[@toddjacobs5660]

Great Job, looks good

[@jeffro7p202]

I had a 94 team green baja race bike i got from a friend that was a sponsored rider. That was one of a few bikes that i wish i would have kept.

[@kylelangworthy9641]

Another awesome build J I was wondering do you do customer bikes I know you are a 250f guy I've got a 2004 RMZ 250 the one that everybody talks so much crap about LOL I don't see why I loved the thing it has so much torque you ride it like a mini 450 yes it had overheating problem but I've already got bigger radiators and a boyesen super cooler and she does not overheat anymore but I'm looking to get a rebuild and I was wondering if this would be a project you would be interested in as this bike was the first four stroke 250 for both Suzuki and Kawasaki

[@1hardcorebiker1]

Amazing to see someone else who likes the '04 RMZ250. I've had mine for about 8 years now. In that time I've also had a dozen other new and bigger bikes, but the RMZ is always the bike I choose to ride in serious events, where I plan to run up front.
I'm in the last few days of a crank up engine, and total chassis rebuild. Obviously I bought all the best parts and upgrades available for the project.
There's 37 bikes in my collection at the moment, and I've owned 120 plus bikes over the years. I can definitely say that my '04 RMZ is the best handling bike I've ever raced.
Pretty cool to find someone else who finds the old RMZ as great as I do.

TAKES ME 4 DAYS TO GET ENOUGH COURAGE TO RIDE MY KTM 500EXC SIX DAYS,

[@thomasrenfrow609]

[@CP556]

you should of tracked down a 89 KX250 fuel tank

[@spencerclark2269]

Firstttttt

[@loadthebowl]

Why would you keep the ugly scoop fender that's the first thing I woulda made straight

[@husaislander4838]

Send those parts to me

[@rztrzt]

Why does TMR have to chisel his name into everything? You have this perfect cylinder that's then defaced...

[@robh3267]

I agree 100% on that, your not paying good money for a service just so they can advertise at your expense, I would assume that he gets permission from the owner before doing that, it's still very excessive.

[@rztrzt]

@@robh3267 I think it's done on all his jobs but I could be wrong...

[@rexo2501]

@@rztrzt Not all, he did my 500 and he did not initial it. Either way I am fine with it.
