"Project “Kickstart My Heart” conceptually began over a decade ago amidst the industry shift from two-stroke to four-stroke R&D.  I was born into a racing family where my father not only had his own professional racing career, but also had a large impact on the motorsports community promoting and running everything from monster truck shows to mud bog races to building and showcasing racecar and motorcycle events. From my dad’s satellite factory support, I was fortunate enough to always have a bike throughout my life and have access to parts from Team Green until 2005 where I regrettably sold my last KX125 and got caught up in the craze of loud, gear-lugging thumpers. Throughout my junior high and high school years, the Splitfire and Chevy Truck Pro Circuit team bikes were at the top of their game and were without a doubt my favorite bikes to watch race. Back then it seemed like a pipe-dream to even consider the possibility of riding one, let alone having the chance to own a factory bike. Despite those feelings, I always had the hope of one day building my own version of my childhood dream machine. Roxanne was the first bike I ever named when I was 6 years old and ever since I've been naming all of my projects/bikes after women from rock and roll songs that seam to match the personality of the bike. From the moment I purchased this ride back in 2016 I knew I was going to create something special to pay tribute to all those who made the sport what it is today.
There is not one part on the bike I did not research or consult with the best in the business to figure out which direction I wanted to go in. I chose parts and services based not on what "looked" cool, but also had functionality or was produced by people who supported the passion that drove the project. Traditionalists will criticize me for not building an exact replica bike and neo-builders will try to argue that other parts/brands should have been used. This bike is not meant to please all people, but it will definitely put them in their place when they see it in action. The bike, along with our race tracks and other projects are all products of melding purpose with passion. I was tired of seeing the same old bikes being built and viewing the same lame music with basic photography just so someone could try to look cool.
Roxanne spawned from a history of riding, racing, event promoting, and mindset of living a life different than the norm. To me, this project is a small taste of what happens when passion and vision meet creativity. I wanted the bike to tell a story and remind the moto community why we do what we do. Dreams do not work until you do..."
