FEATURED BIKED
"My first build was a 1978 RM125, I picked up a backet case and did a decent restore on it to stock. The longer I looked at it the more I wanted to trick it out. I had always loved the Monster Killer that Marty Moats rode for LOP. LOP was thee shop here in the Midwest. I actually bought a used one from Eric Scrudland when I was a kid. Pictured is me at Maplehurst on it.
It took more then a few years, miles and dollars to tack down all original stuff. I used an FMF head until I found the Unicorn LOP head. So now it's completely period correct. Even the chain glides are per spec.
During one of the MWVMX Hall of Fame inductions I had Laurenz Offner sign her. That's him pictured. I've never put gas in her since the build. She's a museum piece for me."
