    My FAVORITE part is the official/original first start with your Dad -"In front of God and everybody" overlayed with the new first start. And what a GORGEOUS ATC250R! Love the Maier white/carbon fiber style fenders and just the whole look of this mean machine. And these new Serwa Tires are just awesome, and let's not forget the oem recreation parts and handlebars from Mr. Palmgren. And Blueline Graphics! And many more i know...wow we have a lot of guys making great products to restore our machines. What a project sir.

      Yes sir! I had to write down all the parts that came from various places to make sure I remembered everyone because there's just so much! And I'm so thankful that I have that video of my dad... I definitely watched that part more than a few times while editing...

      Thank you!! Watching the early videos made me realize how far my videos have come. And I realize how bad of an idea it was to put music in the background of all of them... just hard to concentrate. Anyway, I appreciate you watching!

    Hey, man. Greg from South Africa. If you're thinking of offloading the white rear plastic and frt fender, I will be there this time next year, as I mentioned previously, and am interested in buying them. Let me know what you decide, no pressure. Cheers, bud.

      Hi Greg. I think I'm going to hang on to them for the nostalgia that have (for me). But, if you're interested in white fenders, there is currently a custom color order going on for Maier fenders. My friend is running it on Honda Hoarders (facebook group). Let me know if you need more information.
