    I saw a couple others threads like this and I thought "cool!" Because who doesn't like to show off their pride and joys whether it's a truck, motorcycle, girlfriend, and whatever!

    To start off with, I'll say that I've been fortunate with the Moto world in the fact that I've been racing since I was 6 and was sponsored by Yamaha from 2012-2016 and many other companies throughout my effort of becoming a pro rider. About a year ago I decided to step down and ride as a passion and a way to escape reality, not for a career.


    My current 2014 YZ125 from Yamaha:

    -Pro Circuit polished and ported race motor
    -polished transmission
    -Boysen reeds, powerwing, clutch and magneto cover
    -Vortex ignition
    -FMF exhaust system
    -Renthal sprockets, chains, and handlebars
    -fully tuned revalved and sprung Enzo KYB SSS forks and shock
    -Braking oversized front rotor
    -UFO restyled plastics
    -Decalworks graphics
    -ARC levers and pertches
    -Tubliss "tubeless" tire system
    -Bridgestone battlecross X30 & X40
    -various GYTR bling
    -dubya black and blue wheelset
    -VP MRX02 high octane race gas
    -SDG ribbed seat
    -eks brand grips
    -torc1 shifter and brake assembly
    -TM designworks chain slider

    Bike as of early 2015, I've kept is looking the same since (no restyle for 2016)

    All the pics I can find on my phone for now.

    It was a crazy experience living the life of riding at the top amatuer level, title wins, championships and semi rigs are exciting, but I'm glad now that I've made friends, connections, and experiences that I'll never forget. If anyone has questions, comments, or anything, I love to talk about Moto! It's been my passion for as long as I've have a conscious memory, and always will be until I die.

    That's a nice bike. Here is a Junker 92 CR125 I got for $600 and had a lot of fun on. The slide in the carb would stick at the most inconvienient times and provide adrenaline rushes.

    Cool! My buddy has a '99 cr250 he's trying to restore into mechanically reliable/newish shape. Classic McGrath era bikes.
    Edit: although he was on Yamaha in '92 I think

    2017 Phat Performance Yamaha YZ125 mod:

    Cycra powerflowplastics
    Custom Decalworks graphics
    EksBrand grips
    Renthal fatbar
    ARC Levers
    Matrix Concepts (Next) wide footpegs
    Tusk Wheels set
    DID driveline components
    Boyesen reed, powerwing, and covers
    Braking front (oversized) & rear rotors
    FMF Exhaust
    Factoryseat seat cover
    Torc1 shifter and brake pedal
    Custom Enzo tuned suspension
    TM Designworks chain guide/ slider
    TuBliss "tubeless" tire system
    Bridestone battlecross X30 front tire
    Bridestone battlecross X40 rear tire
    Vortex ignition (must use VP MRX02)
    Ported cylinder
    Polished transmission gears
    Vertex high compression piston

    And I'm proud to say that with the exception of the cylinder porting and trans polishing, I built this bike and engine by myself, and it actually runs after being apart down to the center cases and all seals/ bearing being upgraded as well! :D

    Amazing. Great work.

    If I had to ride/race 1 bike for the rest of my life, it would be a 06+ YZ125. So that thing there is about as sweet as it gets.

    I brought the bike home in the crate, pulled it out and striped it down to the frame. I didn't even start it up or anything. Took the frame to the powder coater. Then started putting it back together with all the goodies and such. Working at corporate I got hooked up with a lot of parts.
