"The bike started as an '01
walsh 250r geomatry yfz426. I decided
to rebuild it after blowing up motor,trashing
the rear shock and cracking the frame
in 4 places. I sent the frame to Walsh
Race Craft where mike walsh refabed the
whole frame to '08 specs. Next the motor
had to be sent back to tom at TC Racing
who tore it down and rebuilt the whole
motor. He ended up putting a yz450 cylinder
on it to help with reliability instead
of boring it out to 450cc. When all was
said and done,she came out to be a 455cc
monster.
I'd like to thank justin at JNA racing
for all the work and energy he put into
this bike for me. I couldn't have done
it without your help bro. Thanks to Tom
at TC Racing for the great motor work,
Seth at SF Racing for the shocks, and
Mike Walsh for all his help and support
through out this build. I would also like
to thank my brother Spencer for all the
time spent in the garage with me. I'd
still be wrenching on it if it wasn't
for all his help. My boy derek for hanging
out with us in the garage doing what we
do. He helped keep the temper down. Thanks
to my mom and dad for all the support
and finally, i'd like to thank my girlfriend
Marlene for all the patience and support
she gave me through out this build. It
wwas tough with all the time and $$$ I
spent on this bike but she was supportive
110%. I couldn't ask for a better girl
to have. I could of never done this with
out her. Thank you baby!! Thank you to
my competition and everyone who voted
for me; it would be no fun if ya didn't
have some good competition. Thank you
to everyone that helped out with this
build that I forgot to mention. "
