Motorcycle reviews and information about motocross facilities. Traveling across the US, I will be sharing my feedback and findings of each facility I visit. My goal is to help you find answers to your questions about tracks and bikes.
As a hobbyist mechanic, I will attempt to share my knowledge of working on dirt bikes and street bikes with walk throughs of services and tech tips.
Our company, WeRideTwo, was founded on the idea of community among all riders.

I'm 60 years old. I have rode bikes most of my life. I'm not a "biker" but I rode mini bikes as a kid in the 60's to a harley sportster. I'm just a casual rider. Today I'm looking for a street legal toy .Thanks for your time and sharing your opinion, it is appreciated.
That is exactly what they are meant for, to be a toy. If you get one, I hope you have a blast on it!
Is that a reliable clutch kit to use for the bike? Or should I go with something else
I wish I had a long term test to share on them, but unfortunately my buddy was hit by a truck on this bike. He's relatively OK but the bike is totaled. After the install of the clutch he rode a few thousand miles with no issues. I am typically a fan of OEM clutches or EBC
I have an addic i mean hobby to fishing im alreadu bankrupt at 14
Sounds like you need to fish in some tournaments and win some spending money to fuel your addict...I mean hobby
@@alexdombi-weridetwo I’m in nc so like 20 miles to a tourney and my mom doesn’t like it so it sucks to have it as a “Hobby”
@GH0STXY3 😥 Then keep pushing the YT content! Some fishing channels do really well.
When you go bankrupt, keep going!
😂🤣😂 they're investments, right?!
My "friend" needs help to stay off marketplace
I will catch up to you one way or another
Are we racing? :D
@@alexdombi-weridetwo technically yes
Cool, I was unaware. What kind of race?
@@alexdombi-weridetwo subscriber race to..4,000 also do you know who I am btw?
@@alexdombi-weridetwo I know you you know me
umm... I think your chickens are broken....
They just need to be dyno tuned ;)
@@alexdombi-weridetwo no no no, Dino-nuggets. I've never heard of tuned chickens.
I'm glad you have plenty of options. Remember this next time I'm choosing where to eat. We all want OPTIONS sir.
Taco Tuesday, Wing Wednesday, Thirsty Thursday, Food Truck Friday. There- done :D
@@alexdombi-weridetwo but like... what kind of tacos? from where? and what about sushi.
Sushi Sunday?
Umm. We know all too well what crappy old boots do when you fall over. As cute as you are on crutches hobbling around, let's not live that again. GO GET NEW BOOTS. and just keep it sticky side down.
And new boots are cheaper than more ER visits and surgeries
If that crazy kid wasn't rocking JEANS in 95+ degree temps. but yes its awesome, @pizzaplexgaming also enjoyed the icy breeze out by the pool having lunch for our girls trip too :-D
He was riding his Orion on the kids track- can't ride in shorts ;)
No more 90+ degree temps in the garage - woohoo!
I mean, its a huge inconvenience for me when I go out to the garage fridge to get a cold beer and get hit with hot air for 25 seconds. I appreciate your accommodating my needs. :-*
The things we do for our spouses...glad I could help!
just a damn overpass right there 😂
It's conveniently located 😂
dramatic music for a f'n maintenance tip...
Brakes can be dramatic, right? :D
Dude just bought a 2001 honda shadow from a guy who rode it 47,000 miles and never ever once changed his fluid.
😵😵 I hope you're going to change it with the other fluids. Please tell me they weren't the original tires too!!
Go get new boots!!
When's the last time you changed your brake fluid?
This is my favorite place to ride. It's run really well, even when it's busy you get plenty of ride time because of the 2 tracks and how they run the classes. Some people are griping about $50, but it's well worth it. Real estate and labor are both so expensive down here, if it takes $50 to make it worth while for the owner then I'm happy to pay it, especially for a place this well run. Anyone who rode that property when it was Thundercross will appreciate immediately how much work and money the new owners put in, and how well it turned out.
👏👏 you're 100% spot on!
The SV650 was the first brand new bike I ever bought. Bought the original in 1999, owned it until 2005 when I traded it in for the SV1000S. Thought the engine of the SV1000 was great, it just didn’t have the charm that the 650 did. I traded in the SV for GSXR1000 and then a Hayabusa. However, recently I find myself still missing the SV650. Started watching videos about newest ones, like yours, and am really close to pulling the trigger and having one again, as a second bike. They are just so much fun.
Sometimes nostalgia gets the better of us and we buy things that we shouldn't. In the case of rebuying a loved motorcycle or one that has special meaning- yes, absolutely do it. I sold a 2003 Z1000 7 years ago and I regretted it immensely. If you've seen some of my more recent videos, you will see I rebought the same one. I'll never let it go now. If you have the ability to spend the money I doubt you'd regret buying the new one. Ride safe!
@@alexdombi-weridetwo Oh nice! Glad to hear that you rebought the bike!! I'll go check out the videos now. Be safe!
id be in the pool while the pros are on on the 2 wheels, i'm not so good with the 4🤣
😂🤣😂 bring your guitars! They have a full on stage with aound equipment under the pavilion. I didn't mention it in the video as it doesn't really get used anymore.
Are ATVs allowed
They do not allow quads at Ultimate, sorry.
The manufactures sure do not think about being able to work these things these days. They want you take it to the dealership so they can break the bank for a not too expensive part to be replaced. I'm curious to know how many hours in labor the dealership would charge for replacing the valve cover gasket.
I'd be curious on that too- I'm thinking 1-2 hours plus supplies and fees for coolant disposal. I started working on my bikes as a way to keep costs down when I was a kid. Service manuals are far cheaper than service shops :)
ok. my bike is stuck on 6th and doesn't shift down... could it be the clutch?
That's most likely the shift drum or shift forks. That requires a lot more teardown than this, unfortunately.
@@alexdombi-weridetwowould it be the same thing if the bike wouldn’t shift to 6th gear, then starts riding really rough
@@ethxntgg1971 The hard to shift in to gear may be the shift forks, yeah. But the riding rough may be something else depending on what you mean.
How did u figure 75 and what’s the device called
The number 75 mm came from the service manual. The tool is called a fork oil level tool and measures the distance from the top of the tube to the oil level.
RIP 💀
Imagine riding with a filter like this!
awesome. never been on a track just woods riding. what day did you go on?
I'm pretty sure this was a Saturday. I'd have to check my files to be sure.
@@alexdombi-weridetwo I'd like to try it out first time on a slack day
@@tacobassmike9757 If you have the option to go on a week day, that's when it's least busy. If you go on a weekend, don't be in a hurry. Things typically start clearing out in the afternoon when the early guys start getting tired and heading home. Middle of the day will be the busiest. Also look it up on Google Maps, google will put a chart showing how busy it typically is for each day and time. They get that by tracking peoples phones.
The audio while you’re riding and talking sounds great. What mic/gear do you use for recording?
Thanks, I switch between mic set ups and I am not 100% sure, but for this video I think I was running a basic TRS lapel mic with a dead cat cover. I was for sure using my GoPro Hero 10 with a Media Mod. I have the GoPro on a Dango Designs chin mount and hold the mic in place with the mount so it's just next to my mouth. You're the 3rd person this week to ask about my set up, so I think it's time for me to do an updated video on what equipment I run 😉
It’s the big jet and pilot jet clogged in the carb
You are absolutely correct!
What a fantastic looking place ! I’m gonna have to make the trip over there.
It's amazing! I need to go back and visit again- it's been too long
I like the mirrors on the Kawasaki but overall, I would prefer the Grom.
I do like the Kawasaki mirrors, they are used on many of their bikes.
That thing is a must down in southwest fl its like mx in a sauna down here 😂😂😂
Sure is! Hope you are safe from that storm that just hit your area.
DON'T TAKE THE ROCKS OFF THE TRACK!!!! Part of the course! You gonna start filling in ruts next?
Hahaha 😆 I hope you're not serious.
When u try to start but realise u didn’t put the gas on…
😂🤣😂 if only it was that simple
@@alexdombi-weridetwoye I got a klx and was wondering while it didn’t start so I turned the gas on, still didn’t work then I looked at the carb and it was very dirty so I cleaned it then it turned on, great video man
Too many people get hurt there
😥 That's sad to hear.
Hey, how does he have his Quadlock mount attached? I'm currently using the clutch mount but I don't like it.
Edited to correct- it's mounted to the bolts the oem stabilizer uses. From quadlock it looks like the flat rectangle two mount plate.
If you're able to, could you share a photo of it?
I can't share photos via comments, but if you pause this video at the beginning, you can see it. kzread.infoDXC0SwQb4gc?feature=share
@@alexdombi-weridetwo I'm searching for it on quadlock's website, but unable to find it. I'll continue to look and see if I'm able to find something that'll work. Thanks
@shue-moua I didn't see it listed in the products either but when I did the "build your own" it was listed in the bases.
Great video brother wondering if you have rode motobros punta gorda ?keep up the filming 🤙🤙
Of course I had to visit both facilities while there! kzread.info/dash/bejne/fIeVypOsk6esdtI.html
quick question, tomorrow is my 1st time going to rio bravo or any motor-cross track will they let me ride with no boots and do they have concessions?
It's definitely best to wear riding boots there. They say you need them but I've seen people ride with work boots on. They don't have any concessions of any kind. There's a gas station about 2 miles away if you forget snacks.
Bike I wish I never got rid of. 1974 Kaw 750 H2. 😢 That said, sitting on both being 6.3 is the Z125.
I met my wife while building a friend's 1975 750 H2! Awesome bikes.
@@alexdombi-weridetwo stupid fast and an insane ride. Miss that bike and how! ❤️❤️ for the H2 build!
@@jeremyduncan3654 will you ever get one again? My wife wants me to get the new ZH2 as a tribute to how we met.
@@alexdombi-weridetwo the early model is now very expensive and complete can fetch up to $15k in running condition. That said if o had the money, I’d have a 75 mk 3 and a modern one. My dream was to have a 74 engine in a Kaw 650 ninja frame say 1991 or 92. But the Z1R is out there and I hem and haw about that…. (1980) but then there is the 85 Suzuki 850 Katana Turbo….. oh my….
Not a sponsor plug- just trying not to melt :D
SMX 6 v2, super comfy and plenty of ventilation
You're the 3rd person to suggest that boot. I should go check them out.
@@alexdombi-weridetwo I fell in love with em instantly. very comfy for both long and short rides. sometimes forget I am wearing them if I am out and about.
Is this filmed with the gopro and gooseneck mic you recommend in another video?
This video was filmed with the wireless mic I got earlier this year (Wireless Mic system: amzn.to/3PR8KZ8). I think it's time for me to put together an updated video of my setup. Thanks for the question and reminder 😉
What rpm are you running at 60 mph on Z and G? Is there a +1 front, -1 back chain drive gear from Z and G? Any difference?
Good questions. I was running the z with stock gearing and based on other videos with it, it looks like at 60mph it was about 8500 rpm. I don't have any clips showing the Grom at 60mph nor do I have access to one at the moment, so I can't say. Doing what you say about +1 front sprocket and -1 on the rear will absolutely give you higher top end, but with such small amounts of power I feel doing that will not add enough top end to counteract the loss on the bottom end.
Either it’s the carb or you got to much back pressure
Wow. Great video. Thank you for being so informative, and educational. Superb video quality
Thanks- Glad you enjoyed it!
Village has the best night racing in North Texas. Saturday nights are a lot of fun and a lot of people show up. You can see the entire track from anywhere you are viewing it from. We park on the backside and sit in the bed of the truck and hoot and holler at all the racers we know. They also have the MiniX series, which is amazing for young new riders to get to race on one of the best pit bike/mini tracks I've ever seen. It even has start gates, lights and a tower. The main track is also cool. It is one of the few tracks in Texas that actually has elevation change with true step ups and true step downs. But, it has kind of gone downhill the last couple of years. However, they just gave it a make over in June, so it's better now. It is also the only track I've ever been to where you can see a downtown skyline from the track (Fort Worth). That's how close it is to the city. The only thing I don't like about Village is that it is Port a potty only; which is not cool for the ladies.
The MiniX track is awesome! I wish my son were with me to ride it and give me some feedback. Next time ;)
Nice video mate, thanks. I'm new to the DFW area but Village is on my list of nearby tracks to try out. And yeah, organised practises often mean limited riding time as they try to keep it safe for everybody - it used to annoy me but ultimately, tracks where they care that much about the people who ride them tend to be better run, maintained and now I get it, and appreciate that. But definitely a factor if you are travelling more than an hour to get there...... Gonna go check out your Underground vid now, thx man !
Groms don’t make 40hp
😂 you were paying attention
I did all my electric bike videos at Rio. The owner Danny was my good friend. He let me test my bikes after hours. Still my favorite track, EVER.
I heard rumors the track was being taken over by the State of Texas- but was told this past weekend that is not the case. Hopefully it stays open for many more years to come!
Wrong music for this vid
Maybe?
idle screw + carb clean
It definitely needed a cleaning
