[@Razor6On3]

Lucky bastard 😂 congratulations brother 👍🇺🇲

[@frankrizzo1798]

Hey Mike congratulations! If I was you I would take apart the rear linkage and grease it if that kid didn’t do it for you. There always dry. Also the steering stem

[@codysnodgrass2139]

Congrats bro it’s always been my dream to have a crf250 with duals or a 450r quad … again congrats can’t wait to see u get comfortable on that beast

[@k.lippincott1231]

congrats, set up the suspension sag, compression, rebound for your weight right away, makes it alot more manageable when setup properly!

[@gabrielruiz-yt2fh]

[@paul340mopar]

Shout Out to the Kid that started out putting bikes together and is now the Service Manager...And still in High School!

[@Savannahjbo]

for sure , already has good work ethic and obviously the ability to speak and explain well..

[@williamevans6468]

I was going to say the same thing before I saw your message. That is pretty impressive and good job to the dealership for giving him the chance and opportunity at that age!!!

[@Dropsey818]

very much so, smart kid,

[@jacksonstanfill1003]

It’s 10:30 pm and I rode just the other day but damn this makes me wanna go ride lol, congrats on the new new bike…nothing like a brand new one. I’ve a 22 ktm 250sx

[@Brappydaze]

He said service advisor not manager but still impressive

[@bretwagner818]

Thank you Mike so much for buying your new KX 250x from us and making the awesome video. It turned out fantastic 👍🏻🔥

[@MichaelSabo]

It was an awesome experience man! Thanks for going above and beyond to make it extra special 🤘👊

[@mattharrell4]

Mike, the part of video with the bike spinning in your garage with the little bit of smoke: you’re a giant dork with your passion and I mean that in the most flattering way! Your like the 99% of us that see it that way in our head, like a bunch of big kids, and you bring it to life! Love it!

[@zztoplandry]

So happy for you Micheal. I've been watching you for about 2 years. Awesome videos! I fell in love with utvs about 5 years ago. I drive a old quad and I found your videos...making old quads look way better than new! I've been waiting patiently for you videos to return. You're my favorite you tuber. Big thanks!!! Keep doing what you do.

[@misiek7411]

"You wanna stop and re do it? No i like to keep things authentic." Congrats Man

[@pizzaoveru]

#1 best word of advice stand as much as possible. Feels weird at first but you’ll have much more control

[@shadetreemotorsports]

That's super awsome for you Michael. I'm 55yrs old literally ridden recreational woods and trail since I was ten yrs old. The best days ever have always been weekend trips. Seems like it takes me half a day to get warmed up sometimes and its always the second day that I see awsome improvement in my skills. Get those two day trips in as often as possible!! Have blast,push yourself and be a little carefully too,sometimes.lol.

[@15brucet]

The f*ckin explosion when he threw the stuff in the trash....epic haha

[@DBCoopersGiblits]

By far one of the best KZbin channels out here these days. Reminiscent of the Greg A truck channel (old garage build days). Love the way you are so meticulous with everything and explain things clearly and are funny to boot. Thanks for all the great content man.

[@MichaelSabo]

That's a big compliment man; thank you!

[@DBCoopersGiblits]

@@MichaelSaborock on brother 🤘

[@mikechristopher7513]

Such an awesome feeling, 2008 bought a GSXR1000 in the crate. Waited around the showroom for them to assemble the bike. Drove it home ZERO Miles on the odometer. Mike I had the bike 4 months and it was stolen one night while I was asleep! WORST feeling ever. Nothing but best wishes for you brother you totally deserve this moment buddy.!!

[@ryancady4084]

Not an enthusiast but after watching this I want to ride! Bret Wagner & Scott Powersports, no way you can go wrong. And the kid in highschool putting that bike together, impressive.

[@EastGillyOutdoors]

Congrats on the new bike man! You deserve it!!

[@chevyguy-hf1yq]

As a dealer of 35 years. Congrats Mike! I am thrilled for you. I would recommend ceramic coating every single inch of the bike before you rode it. You still could.

[@alexmaclean1]

Everyone at that dealer seems really down to earth. The sales side guy was no BS and the young man assembling the bike was very professional and good at his job. Seems like this dealer attracts good people.

[@mxbeanz1206]

This was a cool video. As a guy who's been to scotts many times. Scotts powersports is legit! I see them when I go to events and there real riders who work there!

[@jordanpanich]

Congrats, Mike! Buying a new machine is a rad experience!

[@ledthrax]

Congrats man! It was great to see the behind the scenes action of putting the bike together that we don’t normally get to see. Have a blast with it and keep up the great work!

[@bhoss7133]

Congrats on your new crate bike Mike! And thanks for bringing us along.

[@Over_Dose327]

This video was just pure awesomeness and wholesomeness! Thanks for sharing your dream come true with us!

[@2wheelfox]

Awesome!, Congratulations, you deserve it! I grew up on dirt bikes, switched to quads for a while but now am back on bikes. I ride a YZ250 that I bought used like everything I've owned. I'm 47 and still say one of these days I'll pull the string on a new bike. You've given me motivation to go ahead and do it. Get yourself a good set of bark buster hand guards. If you plan on riding tight single track, consider cutting your bars 1/4 to 1/2 inch on each side. I will make a world of difference. Enjoy!

[@MR-puffnstuff]

I know Pennsylvania but not that town. We are all happy for you and will cherish this moment as you experience it.

[@ballistic1253]

Bro the Kawasaki Grom 1:36 got me😂😂 you should get one of those next

[@Ocymber]

hahaha i was like hol up

[@torr-michaelbennetta9785]

Enjoy the new ride!!!! Hope it gives you years of pleasure and smiles.

[@ni_wink84]

Congratulations Mike!! It’s always a great feeling to finally get a brand new bike that you have always wanted! Stoked to see you out there ripping it!

[@mikebarriball]

HEY CONGRATS MIKE'' I NO THAT FEELING OF GOING TO THE DIRT BIKE PLACE AND NOT BEING ABLE TO BUY IT. I REMEMBER THE 1986 CROME Z 50 BACK IN 1989 I WAS TEN YEARS OLD, AND I HAD A 1985 Z 50- LOOKING AT ALL THE NEW STUFF. WHAT A GREAT FEELING. STILL TO THIS DAY, I LOVE LOOKING AT ALL THE BIKES QUADS AND MOTORCYCLES SIDE X SIDES OMG IT'S HEAVING! GREAT VIDEO MIKE ✌

[@01hondascott]

Back in 2015 I purchased my first brand new machine it was a 700 grizzly. I always dreamed about going into the show room and walking around looking at the bikes then sitting down to do the paperwork in person and experience all that fun.......But I never got so lucky. I was on the other side of the country for work for 6 months and my home dealership had a smoking deal. I wasn't going to be home for 2 more months so I had to wire my girlfriend the money and have her go buy it for me. Yamaha delivered it and when I came home 2 months later I had a brand new Grizzly waiting for me. I was kind of sad that I didn't get to experience the show room jitters and purchasing rush but it was a savings of 3 grand so I had to jump on it. But every time I see someone in the show room getting their new bike I think about what I missed out on. Congrats on the new bike.

[@greiner7414]

Tech did a great job setting that bike up!

[@Jonny2Fingers]

I love the smell of fresh bikes at the dealership. Brings me back to my childhood drooling over the bikes in the showroom.

[@rphawx]

They should make air fresheners and candles with that scent of new bikes and quads:). Hey, I think I’m onto something.. candles called bikes and quads and it will smell just like a showroom filled with dirt bikes and quads and racing fuel:)!

[@sbz666_]

Hearing that you get arm pump, with arms the size of Arnold's, is hilarious 😂😂

[@HapHazard_69]

Always happy when Mike is happy. Now ya got a bike to match your quad!

[@anthonygarland1403]

I was happy just watching the video. Buying a new Bike is awesome. Thanks for sharing this moment with us.

[@GibbsGarageW]

Hey man, you've GOT to do a YAMAHA WARRIOR build!! It would be awesome!

[@blakerager6340]

No

[@Davido50]

YES 👍🏻. I'm an OG subscriber. Lol

[@timmanracing8776]

Id love to see more videos on this bike doing upgrades and riding it!!!

[@kurky72]

Nice to see, your dream came true and enjoying yourself, well deserved to spoil yourself, all the content and work is beyond appreciated

[@rcshenanigans7264]

Wow I'm happy for you I love following your content. I work at a powersports dealer in Wisconsin and I do this all day. It's such a fun job. I restore my own stuff at home like you but a bit slower and not on KZbin. My most recent unit is a 400 ex and I've used your videos to help me on my builds! Thanks for everything. I'd love to go on a ride with you one day.

[@throttletherapyisneeded]

Congrats man ! Great to be along for the ride on that one

[@philipjohnshire]

So happy to see you be able to get the bike / have a dream come true Mike! Hope the subscriber count / views continue to grow to reflect how great your content is ! Nothing beats sitting down with some snacks and watching your stuff!

[@ajacks_09]

Standing and gripping your knees against the bike is going to be your best friend. Im sure you already know. Im glad ypu finally got bike welcome to the kawi club their baaaaadddd ass bikes

[@cman_1654]

big tip for arm pump is squeezing you knees on the frame more. it takes a lot of the load off your arms

[@brockpeck7073]

I always loved the look of a kawi

[@olcleetus6056]

I absolutely love your videos. Inspired me to frame up rebuild my 1995 Honda fourtrax 300.

[@MichaelSabo]

That's awesome man! Glad I could inspire you and thank you for the love! 🤘

[@Trevor_Teifel]

Nobody takes the time to rebuild a bike like that. That’s awesome

[@eliotsell7483]

Very cool to see the dealer process. Love the channel and the content. Keep it coming.

Ahhh I remember those days, watching all the lucky kids ride their dirt bike. I was always so happy for them.

[@kyleheckman361]

Congratulations man! Been watching your channel for years now. I got my Yz250fx last year, from Blocker. Scott's is 10 mins from me, but didn't have one in stock when I was looking. I'd be happy to ride/collab at FRO sometime, come hit some single track with us!

[@nesX07]

Yeah dude!! Honda and Suzuki is where it's at for 2 stroke dirtbikes! Kawasaki is dope AF too. This bike is damnn sic!

[@NOTTApro142]

Badass bike mike! Hope someday I can feel that excitement! That thing should be a blast! Oh! And don't throw a thumb throttle on this one 😂

[@Jnice62108]

Haha, he better not

[@jameshealy4594]

I'm a rider, never got into quads, but why does a thumb throttle bother people? Seems like it might have some advantages, especially if you're more familiar with it.

[@NOTTApro142]

@@jameshealy4594 it's fine on a quad, but on a dirtbike? It's just a crime against humanity

[@jameshealy4594]

@@NOTTApro142 but... Why? Is it just 'that's for quads'? Are quads not as cool and therefore it's seen as bringing down the bike? I just don't understand 😅

[@NOTTApro142]

@@jameshealy4594 no. It's preference really, but thumb throttle are mainly seen and come stock on quads because the bars do not require as firm of a grip and control as on dirtbikes. Dirtbikes have twist throttles mainly. When you put a thumb throttle on a dirtbike it looks unnatural. And is harder to use than on a quad.

[@mrbigredbeard]

This is a great dealership. I go here quite often. I drive by them most days during the week. They are always pleasant and friendly and helpful. Id love to get together and ride quads with you sometime Mike.

That sand spot you were riding at in the end is like my main spot to ride crazy to see you there some good trails there.

[@davidronneberg2643]

I’m just starting to watch this video and honestly it’s awesome that you have the privilege and opportunity to do this! It’s been my dream as well since saw a dirt bike for the first time!

[@doug_errickson]

Thats awesome brother! You and I are exactly the same! I rode quads for a long time but dirtbikes were my 1st true love and a couple years ago I bought a kx250f and have been learning to ride moto. Always loved the green bikes since I was a little guy. Kx80 was dream bike as a kid. So much harder to ride than quads! Enjoy brother

[@Daverazzi]

I knew you were local to me but I didn’t know you were really local to me. Saw in the video you drove up almshouse road. I have a Honda crf300L if you ever wanna ride.

[@shawn9514]

I turn 40 next week and was finally able to buy a new quad a few days ago.. #raptor700rse Congrats man!!

[@cheto2952]

Awesome video as always bud. Just a heads up about a 250 the more you ride it the better you're going get, then you're going to want more power.

[@rglce25]

Sweet bike!! You should do a build on an older kx250 2 stroke turning it into a 250x.

[@WinterRider]

Cant stop watching your vids because of the authenticity

[@foil666]

Howdy Mike. As someone who started dirtbikes late in his life (30 about 4 years ago) don't skimp out or shrug off rider protection - especially when it comes to knee protection. Vest, elbow protection, knee BRACES (leat are fairly good for a relatively low cost), etc. I shrugged off that for quite a while up until I hyper extended my right knee that screwed me up for at least a year (I still feel it on most days).

[@federicoturlettimunivez3530]

That kid did a great job! He is the best!

[@Taylor.741]

i am so jealous of you lol this bike is to sick 🤙

Very cool Mike! I bought one in 2022 (my first new dirt bike too) and love it! Go Team Green! You're gonna love it! The kx's have the best stock sound!

[@manaaalsuwaidi3643]

Congrats man! I'm just like you a quad guy all my life and last January I got a brand new dirt bike as a birthday gift, and man! Twist throttle+ dirt bike+ Sand riding isn't easy! I've been already down 2 times and I'm still learning experience with every ride, Quads are very easy and fun, but dirt bikes also fun as well but at different level!

[@dbl-BLeiby]

I’m 47 been riding quads bikes my whole life. Been in rzrs since 2012 my current 2023 rzr turbo r is fun and all and still riding my Ktm 300 on hard enduro stuff. I have a sportsman 850 but Iv not had a sport quad since 2011 I had an LTR. Iv recently been hooked on your videos so last weekend I went out and bought a mint trx450er and wow did I miss that. Keep doing what you’re doing Mike.

[@chrisrhodes8443]

Congratulations man!!! Love seeing hard work pay off. Enjoy the bike and love the content!!!!!!

[@dodgendeere8768]

Mike a trick to not braking levers is just make the clamps tight enough that they stay but if you smack it, itll move! And buy a few air filters lol, and a spare bolt kit! Check bolts every few rides, I almost lost a fender haha😂. And hold on with your legs!!! Squeeze hard and relax your arms! It will take a long time to build muscle where you don’t get so tired. It took about 2 summers for me and i can stand the whole time now.

[@MichaelSabo]

Great advice! I like the idea with the levers - that makes a lot of sense

[@yurantricamo7634]

Só happy for you 🎉

I have a 2022 250x i love it you can adjust bars and foot pegs has plenty of power great choice man happy for you that thing has never let me down that hydraulic clutch is beautiful great for trails and track only thing i suggest is bigger radiator sometimes runs a lil hot

[@VeedeesVoyage]

I can just see in your face brotha how serious it is. I wish most people looked at all these “bikes” how we do this is a passion its what keeps the heart pumping great work mike we love the videos. From chatting with you on instagram about my yz 144 to who you are today i look up to you man and i see the work you’re putting in. Keep pushing man maybe one day when i make my channel we can do something best of luck brotha!
