Just an 63 year old mx kid that has been riding and going motocrossing since 1971. Had a cousin, Jim "CZ Friday" that was the envy of all from 1971 till 1976.
Have a few national Championships in AHRMA and AMA racing in the expert divisions, as well as the vet divisions.
I started racing in 1978 on a CZ 250 and never looked back. I try to put some of my rides on UA-cam to show others that old guys can still ride and race

I like riding my 125 against 450's. I'm feeling very good on it. I haven't been riding a 450 for most of the year, and frankly, I believe I'm having much more fun, although slower on it for sure!
Nearly pulled a holeshot, but got tangled going into the first corner.
Fun day.

First race I've done on my new 125 this year, and this track had sections I clicked into 6th gea...

First time ever at this facility. Nice red clay hardback. Some of the turns were loose, but overall a great experience. Going on over in the 60 plus class. 2024 Yamaha YZ 125 with a GET ignition, VHM head, 110 leaded gas. stock suspension. Haven't had to set the sag as it's right at 105. Bike is great when riding. I didn't even get my 450 out. #AMGear

First race on my new 125. rode 55 plus. Ran with the young guys after a midpack bibbled start. bike worked well. I was happy and learned that it doesn't accelerate like a 450, so I need to carry more momentum in the corners.

Greg you had that 125 screaming pretty good there. Looks like fun little track. Good ride.
@@BrianMcNeill25 I like the 125. Thanks buddy! I go in phases. Old bikes, 125, 250 smoker, 450. But to be honest, I feel safer on the 125 than I do on the 450. I'm getting old and sometimes just have trouble shutting the throttle off going into a turn. Feels like the throttle hanging up on a carb. It's just scary cause a 450 goes over 60 mph in 3rd. They go from 15 to 60 in 3rd so easy. The 125, not so much as it doesn't pick up on low end and on top end your about pinned so if you hit a bump wrong it doesn't pick up 10mph just like that The 450? I'll pick my battles on it. You won't see me practicing on it but once in a great while in my backyard track. And that's a maybe.......
You are living up to your nick name! WFO! Looking good on the 125...what make/model/year?
@@mxengineer1 2024. GET ignition and a VHM head ( I think thats it, from Europe) and a special carb kit from Europe. I love it and thanks! The 125 is just safer to go WFO than my 450. A buddy I know just broke his hand today on his new 450 just practicing.
@@greg042 YZ125? So the GET ignition and head combo liven up the power? More broad or simply more power everywhere? Does it now need race gas only?
@@mxengineer1 more power everywhere. Cleaner running too. I use race gas anyhow. I get it fairly cheap. Sunoco or Cam 2 leaded 110. About 50 or 60 bucks a pail, depending on if it's Cam2 or Sunoco.
Great holeshot and video, what class were you riding?
@CrashEightyTwo it's in my description. 2nd moto of 125 over 40 pro they called it. Very late in the day,and most blew off the second moto. Just out to collect the $$. 2 laps
nice bro keep going😎
I was in Atlanta this weekend visiting my son and his family.
Track looks fun. I can tell its tougher than it looks on camera. Those hills have a bit of chop beat into the grass. So thats in Ga?
@BrianMcNeill25 Yeah, it was a one time event. Lots of riders. All the old guys from GA and AL showed up. Billy Liles and I battled in the second moto till we kinds slid into each other and took ourselves out in a 2 lap race. Finished 3rd. It was so much fun. Lots of old national numbered guys to race. I wasn't even on the same lap as them 40 years ago. Now we are all peers! I had fun. Triumphs new 450 was there also. I should had a 450 but I still made that thing work. Took a lot of jetting.
Thanks for uploading
Love the sound of a screaming 125
Hell yea I live 10 minutes from this track it’s awesome
Cased like every jump
Was this the prep for Sunday with the modern bikes too ?
Man you had that 125 singing around that track. Looking good.
Thanks. Met Laundry and Hege. I'll have to venture more from my own backyard. We all need to get together, but over the next 6 weeks, I'm going to be racing a lot up in PA, MD, WV and Ohio. Vintage mostly except for Budds on one of my new yamadogs.
@@greg042 nice! Tom is a nice guy and fast too, I’ve known him a while. I’ve only met Joe once but seems like a good guy too.
Is the huge mx track in the background down the field yours ? Wow
No, that's one of Club MX practice tracks
Awesome bike sounds great..!! Did you rebuild it and how was it finding the parts..?
Yes I rebuilt it for some AHRMA racing this summer. Parts are available via EBAY used marketplace mostly!! New input shaft and clutch basket.
Not much for a front brake. Gotta get more power. Nothing like a modern YZ.
solid ride!
Glen Helen 2 stroke world championship April 19-20
tutta originale ? o ci hai fatto qulcosa ? ha livelli di motore
What year bikes and what are you riding? Open age group? Nice looking track and way to pressure him til the end!
Brian, this is a 1998 kx 125. Next Generation 125 experts. All ages, I'm just old tho! From last year. I forgot to put it up. I think one 250 beat me that day, but in a different class.
@@greg042 big gap of bikes. Wasn’t that a 1982 yamaha in front of you most of the race? You wore him down tho.
@@BrianMcNeill25 yes your right. But anything up to 1998 and a 125 is ok. 16 through 80 years old.
Miss ridding due to people being in responsible with bikes my parents sold mine that 125 sounds just like my old 85
That 125 rips
South Carolina
Beautiful countryside where is this?
South carolina. I love the old school tracks
Makes me miss my rm 125 i rode as a teen back in 1978😢
Well done! Seems like that new YZ barks. Thank you for the truly inspiring video.
Thank you very much! It has a bunch of pieces from Europe. It goes well. Im.happy
Nice! How do you like the new YZ 125? Better than the previous engine?
Not really. Pretty much the same. It comes worse from the factory, but an ignition head and a carb kit from Europe solved it all. I liked my old 125, but my wife who is 64 took it as her personal bike so I got a new one!! It had a pipe porting , carb and ignition so it was pretty dang good too!
Thing sounds great! 👍
I'm old as the dirt. 170 main 65 pilot 70 powerjet C4 needle. Middle clip It all came from GB. Couldn't get the neddle here in the states. Also a shorty silencer, GET ignition and a VHM head for c12 race gas.
Thanks for the Video big help showing me the track. Racing Capitol Cup this year, And i’ve never been down. By the way. I’m just about 8years your younger and still have the hunger. Lets keep our feet on their necks.. I’ll see ya out in the dirt.. 💪
are you 64yrs old? what was yr final jetting if i may ask,,im in aussie and finally got it smooth an fast! stock here was 62p 162m nycf 3rd best setting here 52p nydf 3rd 165m after bout 2months of tuning,,came pretty rich down low from the dealer
@simby787 I have the jetting above. Yeah, I've been racing for 50 years. Had a lot of success
Nice bike , nice vidéo 👌🏼
Amazing what we can do at this age😂i just turned 61 and still ride like a wild man ,great job dude
Thank you. Going back next week to do it one more time!
@@greg042 I have a UA-cam site also where I post riding videos give um a look if u like
Other dudes arms give out or something lol? Could tell he was all over the place when you got on him
What class was this?
Sounds crispy...👌🤘
$45 dollars to ride here. WTF? Gate fee on practice day. WTF?

Next Gen 250 Expert or Next Gen 60 Plus A. I can't recall! Old age
No way is this "A" class practice. Looks more like C maybe B class
Mx rewind is for vintage racing. Vintage racing A, not modern bikes.
Dude. You got smoked by homie on the Honda. Wtf 😳
Great ride! This was my Goto track in the mid 90's early 2000's when i was still racing. Looks like the rare day it was actually "muddy". :)
Congrats on getting 2nd. :)
@KennyHollingsworth Thank you!! I just couldn't beat him that day on his 2021 yz250. Oh well, I do it for fun at 61( in this video) and ride 1990's well preped bikes.
@@greg042 Heck yeah , some great riding for a Vet rider especially! I am 54 myself.
Perfect.. 👍👍😁
Such a Beautiful Track…good job
Skipped “Screw-you”
Amature days always do!
looked closed off
Subscribed man good riding I was there today good turn out
Nice! Track looks perfect!! Crazy to see the variety of bikes out there in the "Expert" practice!! You sure got a lot of practice passing riders! Who is #687 going by you at the 6:49?
Wendel. He won open Expert up to 99 any age. Luckily ,I didn't have him in my group of over 50 expert up to 99 or 80 to 89 open Expert. I went really to ride the over 60 class on Sunday, but had a mishap I had a small problem and fell the first lap of my first race and my wrist is sore. I drove 13 hours home. No wins this year
🌸 P r o m o s m
It looks like you and the yellow 34 were pretty evenly matched, and were keeping eachother honest. Good racing.
Nice ride. That place looks gorgeous!
Where is this? There is a ecmx motocross track in Lewiston Idaho an hour away but It does not look like this track. Maybe back east
