The Yamaha XT225 is Back ... Let's Ride!

The Yamaha XT225 is rebuilt and back on the road! Last year I started getting metal shavings in my oil filter and, after a complete teardown, it turns out that sixth gear was starting to fail. It took months to get the new parts in due to lengthy backorders but now, almost a year later, we're rolling again. Let's goooo!!!

This channel is for motorcycle riders, mechanics, and enthusiasts who enjoy the simple joys of motorcycling, from dual sport riding to fixing up old bikes on a budget. My videos also consider the perspective of short motorcycle riders (when it’s helpful and relevant) in choosing and modifying bikes and equipment.

I’ve been hooked on motorcycles since 1975 when, at the age of 11, my dad brought home a shiny new Suzuki TM75 for me and a Suzuki TC185 for himself so that we could trail ride together in the hills of West Virginia. Since then I’ve worked as a mechanic, owned countless bikes, and even worked in the motorcycle industry for a number of years as a photographer and journalist. Now I do mainly video production and enjoy nothing more than making and sharing these motorcycle videos on YouTube.

Thanks again for watching. Ride safe!
