My 14 year old son Aden has been going back and forth between two different colored 125’s, but has seemed to take a liking to the YZ125 the most lately. I decided see which simple mods could help this Yamaha YZ125 two stroke the most in order to get him some extra ponies. These modifications…

Yesterday kicked off new bike season and it was Husqvarna that was first out of the gate. The 2020 Husqvarna FC450 Rockstar Edition launch was held at Glen Helen Raceway and it turned out to be great test day as a lot of the West Coast 250 Supercross riders came out to get their outdoor…
Electric motocross technology is not anything new. It has been in the off-road world for quite sometime, but getting one of the major five manufacturers to get on board with it has been somewhat difficult. Until now… My son’s first two wheeled motorcycle was an Oset electric trials bike and that proved to be the…

Although I have access to bikes for testing throughout the year, there are times when it’s necessary (and nice) to have your own bike. In this particular case I was invited to Mexico with the Smith family (as in Malcolm Smith) to race the Tecate Enduro which meant I needed a legit…
Joe Oehlhof is in charge of the 2020 Kawasaki KX450 Keefer Inc. test machine. I like that Joe is hard on bikes and can really test the limits of certain parts of a machine. I asked him to send me his “Top 5” modifications that really improved the 2020 KX450. I didn’t want Joe just…

For part two of this build I got a bit more detail oriented and involved some high-end parts, which provided some big gains, but before we get into that, I’ll give a quick review of how the Dubya Vet World Championship went for me. I ended up 5th overall, not too…
I raced the Keefer Inc. 2020 KTM 450 SX-F test bike on day two of the World Vet’s and I wanted to put together a parts list of everything that was on my bike. All of the parts on this list were either agreed upon or hand picked by myself because I knew they worked…
