    In 2001 I bought this model, a machine without equal, no problems with it, it was light in weight, manageable, powerful, it had everything, perhaps nostalgia invades me...
    You have given me 1 hour of pure visual art, accompanied by good music.
    I told you on other occasions, you are an artist from head to toe, what you have demonstrated with this restoration is at a stratospheric level,
    only have one option, stand up and applaud him until your hands hurt, you have done with this motorcycle...
    it's magic, friend, and not everyone knows how to do it.
    Thank you a thousand times, a job well done must be well recognized, I don't know what your next objective will be, with your permission,
    I will watch this video again and continue applauding while sitting...
    Never abandon these works and never stop showing them... a hug,
    don't take too long buddy...

    There is way too much to say than can be summarised in a youtube comment but I have to say a few things.
    What you do with these bikes is nothing short of amazing. Literally looks like it's never been ridden and better than off the showroom floor. This in itself is a monumental achievement.
    However, the videography, the editing, the music, it all plays a part in telling this story of bringing these bikes back to life.
    I know you could just do this behind closed doors and you choose to record it and present it for us to enjoy, free of charge.
    I really appcreciate the effort that you put it to the restorations and the presentations. Sincerely.

    Amazing restoration. Too many people "restore" dirt bikes and sell them, but this is not one of those. I bought my 2001 yz 125 for way more than i should have since the prices here in Canada are so inflated. The guy had restored it, powder coated the frame, fresh top end. The kickstart broke right away, the fins on the radiators were all mashed, and the engine blew up two weeks later. Learning experience.
