      I'm growing tired of the "I'm always selling brands" mentality Americans have. About, THIS is the best, because!.... And so on.
      Here, the best is - again - brain, experience, and what you, yourself get out of it..

    Great tour. You make some great points about tool and which ones to spend more money on.

    I love your channel. Played back. "No drama." And now I miss my YZ250. It was built for desert racing back in my So. California days. Cheers. ~P
