Transworld Motocross just tested the lastest beast I created. Fast Core Mods did the head Work, Millennium the big bore cylinder and CP the high compression piston,

280cc big bore with a CP Piston, FMF Pipe, Millennium Cylinder plating and Thumper put it all together for Cycle World.

Brian at SRC worked with Thumper Racing to make the fastest thing we have ever riden. Josh in his Fox gear is a Quad pro now!

Stock is 76.8mm and big bore is out to 79mm making it 264cc and the results are great! Big power gains for low cost in the new CRF250R with no fuel mapping changes.

The Honda 400 motor is proven but can just use a bit of a boost from a cam and piston. Hot Cams and CP took care of that with a FMF pipe.

Check out this cool Motorcycle USA tire change video we just did during shootouts.

We had a great time making it and I hope you find it useful.

Adam Booth from Dirt Bike came out to C&L in Iowa to see the plant and ride the Tom Morgan modified 2010 YZ250 into a 284cc

150cc kit with a Hot Cam and FMF pipe rips and will soon be in Cycle News.

The same for nearly 20 years the Blaster can use some extra power and Dirt Wheels will have this quad in very soon.

Custom CP Piston matched up to a Thumper Advanced Sleeve. Travis at Thumper got this running really good and way more power than stock.

Well, after twelve long weeks of re-habing my dislocated shoulder I am back on a bike (still probably too soon but I have to do it). Much slower of course but I am riding. I have only rode a few times and only at Cahuilla Creek Motocross. Why, because for some reason I feel the safest there, not too crowded and just so much fun. This track is like the tracks I make in the hills come Winter time. Russell Wayman shot video and Andy Fritts supplied the use of his Camera. Not too exciting but I think you can see how fun the track is (especially when off for twelve weeks). I hope to be REM soon and get back to battling with guys I used to smoke.

Joe Kosch at 4-Wheel ATV Action just snapping some pics of ATV Pro-to-be Russell Wayman on the built 700XX. Look for this soon in 4 wheel

Millennium Technologies has cylinder head repair that uses their simultaneous 5-axis computer numeric controlled cylinder head porting center (what is that? so very trick machine to re-cut your seats and install valve guides). The work is great and is as good or better than stock and can save you some money on and let you keep that modified head in use.

What is the most important mod you can do to your current 4-stroke? Make sure it is jetted perfectly. 250F’s are in need of this most and Ron Wood at TokyoMods does a awesome job of making sure your carburetor is perfect after his mods are done you will get rid of any bog you might have. So, if you still have a carbureted bike get with Tokyomods at www.tokyomods.com

Fast Core Mods did the full head work and Hot Cams brand new stage 3 cam went into the 469cc Millennium cylinder. FMF Pipe and some serious polishing. One trick 09 Honda CRF450R (well 469cc) We will see this on a TWMX poster coming up soon.

Since 1968 Mammoth Mountain has been going strong and we have been a part of for the last 16 years. We enjoy the great racing and the outdoors of Mammoth. C&L: Hot Cams, Hot Rods, Pivot Works and Cylinder Works are big sponsors as usual. Last week was the Vets then the Mini’s and on Friday starts the really fast guys.

Check out the upcoming August issue of Motocross Action Magazine to see a full test on the 09CRF450R made into a 469cc monster. Great help on this project-thanks to all and especially Tokyo Mods. Just saw the article and not as good as I would like as they felt we had too much bottom end. However, a great build.

Cahuilla Creek MX has long been one of my favorite tracks but it can also be just terrible if the track prep is not good. Well, Danny has got some help now and they are investing in good equipment and staff to ensure there are no “bad days” so far the last two weeks have been great and I don’t really want to spread the Wednesday secret but it is just great. Sandy natural terrain track that Novice to Pro can enjoy.

40th fastest 250F pro rider at Hangtown! Well, almost. My helper and long time friend Josh Brown gave it a go in the 250 class at Hangtown after nearly a year off of racing and came in at 40th in the qualifying times. However, they only took 38 directly to the show and then a LCQ for the final two spots. Of course we missed that for a bunch of reasons. A great time and I want to thank all of my companies that helped and especially Keith at JLAW and TokyoMods. Oh also that tough looking mechanic.
Josh is going to head to Texas and try one more time along with his Friend Craig. Good luck!

This weekend was the 250/450 Glen Helen National. The event was incredible and it is amazing to watch up close the top riders in the world ride the most gnarly track on earth. On TV you can’t comprehend what these guys do on the track Jody designed. We were all tired from doing banners and watching races all day. Here many of the crew rest up before the next round of motos. I would really like to thank Bud and wish him and his family the best as they put on a fine race only weeks after terrible family tragedy. Bud does not “have to” put on this race but we are all grateful that there is a So Cal National and that it is at Glen Helen. Lori as always it was great– Thanks and thanks to all of my crew-
It was also wonderful to be at home and Church on Sunday!

The AMA Nationals Start this Saturday at Glen Helen and Tuesday they were in full swing getting ready, the National track is incredible! Big jumps and huge hills.

Even with a down economy Milestone MX in Riverside CA, is getting big numbers for their practices. They have very consistent prep and keep things watered nicely. The Main track is a bit gnarly for my taste right now however, the vet track is really good to burn some laps on. The location is great for a ton or riders in the heart of the IE. The horses along the trackside add to the experience Check it out-

FMF Polaris 450 project with Fox Shox — came out great. Cain was very impressed with the mucho power.

Great Honda 250F made even better! Thanks JC and MOTOUSA.COM

Here is a pic of the Hot Cams, CP Piston powered LTZ250. Your not too impressed well there are not many parts for these quads out there and now there is a good kit to power up your wife or daughters quad.

Dirt Bike Ron Lawson, Tom Webb and Adam Booth all enjoyed my 4 250F 2mm over project at Racetown

For this TWMX project we built up a CRF250R into a full blow Arenacross pro level race bike. I didn’t of course have a full blown pro level Arenacross racer so we did the best we could and kinda did a extreme home make over and let made the dreams of a kid from the Menifee hood come true. Nick Lytle was able to race the bike at the Fresno round and then again at the other two Western races. Hopefully the next two go a bit better and he can make it to the main. So, far too much rain has been a problem as he can’t get any A practice and he is finding the whoops are a big area to make up time. Tokyo Mod, MB1, CP Piston and Hot Cams were all huge in making this project happen (oh and his boss at his part time slave working job with Parapros).

I went the funeral for Lusk today. Not too much to say (no one likes funerals do they). I listened to some really nice things said about him from his family and friends. Faisst and Deegan were of course very sad with the loss of their friend. I came in contact with Jeremy as I would mount up his tires while he would wait in my garage. He was always very funny and nice. It is a shame and can’t say anything about God taking him because he died doing what he loved doing it and I am sure knew the danger. Not sure if this will have a big effect on those performing or not but regardless Jeremy was fun to watch and on the way up not down.

Till we meet again-

Jiri got hurt pretty badly the day after Christmas on one of our secret hill tracks. He had a very close call and a very tough surgery. It is great to see him walking around and doing so well. He now has the splints off his hands and he went to A3 and SD SX races to check it out. Jiri did say that when/if he ever rides again that he will wear a neck brace. Good luck Jiri!

In January we shot this project Yamaha 269cc with a Cylinder Works 3mm over bore cylinder with a CP piston and Hot Cams.

Here is a video that demonstrates how to change a tire on your motocross bike.

Well, after nearly 20 years of working in the industry I am finally official in having my own company.  Here I will list some of the current and up to date projects I am working on.  In the past few weeks I have just finished up a big CRF250R (4 bikes) test with Dirt Rider.  On the 6th I just had our last test with MXA on the lightest CRF250R ever.  Just got started on the 09 CRF450R and getting more 09’s soon to get started on more projects.
