Sounded like The Wizard even tuned that chainsaw, she was a screeeeeeamin'

Man, what a killer video. I sincerely hope that many of the viewers have an understanding of just how much Ken had done for the whole area up here, not just Rockville. It is so far beyond commendable. It's astonishing how he cleaned up Rockville and turned it into the beautiful town that it is. There should be people learning from him and doing this all around the nation. God bless you Kaplan America and your family and crew.

Quick story about that quick change air filter. Few years back my son is racing a 250sxf second Moto got on the line warming the bike up it died. He instantly knew he forgot to take the plastic shopping bag off the air filter after he power washed it. 30-second board up he gets off the bike Rip's the side panel off ripped the bag off slams the side panel back on and got the holeshot. Father next to me says you gotta love KTM.🤙

Holy shit that van smashing scene is a cinematic masterpiece.

I stopped by Kaplan Museum today and met Ken JR and the guys (from Oregon), great people and now that you play Danzig / I believe you are my people! Great to see you all !

Those GasGas bikes are badass as hell, but storytime with Ken was even more badass. Wish I could have been there to see that lol 👍

Ed Bassmaster probably saw that car the next day and said "would you look at that, just look at that.."

The Hammer of Justice has been released!

Still laughing at Senior's story! And I now own four 2 - stroke bikes thanks to this channel. Bought 4 vintage mx bikes in 4 months!

The best utube channel in the world !!! Don't mess with the Kaplan men ever. Thank-You for sharing every day. Gods gift to the motorcycle world🙏 Thank you too your whole team Mr Ken 🏍

Hands down best motorcycle channel on the planet! Thanks for the videos Sr.👍

Best video ever! Danzig, Office Space, Ed Bassmaster, and a story. I wonder how many people will appreciate all of that. Hilarious!

2 strokes and rock n roll will never die! 🍺🤟

KEN you legend destroying the van had me dying bruddaaa ☠️😂☠️😂☠️😂☠️😂☠️😂☠️😂

Commenting before the vid is done. I was eating supper as I'm watching this. & as Ken threw that spiked ball hammer through the van window, I almost spit my food out laughing! Like a cut scene to a straight up dunk on the van window! 🤣 I liked that Ed Bassmaster bit at the end. 😉

This is why you, Ken…are the coolest guy in the world. There should be a Kaplan America Movie…. You are the best and you’re my here 100% for life!!!

You are the last of the true Alpha males. God I love it. Don’t make them like they use to.

The chassis on the new Austrian bikes feels way better than the last Gen Japanese two-strokes. Well at least in comparison to my 2008 rm 250.

Remember the YZ 167 in the 90s How big can a 300 go ? Stroked crank and punched out ? We have a perfect balance once its figured out. The BRC super cool. But wondering basic build on the existing mill. Think about that too Ken.

I laughed at the scene with the mace and the rap

2 strokes are going hard kaplans going hard 22 a good year💯

Kenny finally embraced his Danzig alter-ego.... 🤣🇺🇸🤣

After you get the ec500 sorted you should do some tuning and testing on a ec300. I think you can squeeze quite a bit more out of them and the mods+dyno content would be a hit on KZfaq.

that dodge caravan will never steal again

Love everything about These guys they deserve nothing but success..

Seems like the lighter quicker-revving MX flywheel with the eduro gearing might be the hot ticket...🤔

They way you ride that thing man just pure talent !!

That slo-mo window smash scene was too cool

Sr having a blast smashing that car up 😂 I love this channel… all sorts of different videos.

Haha! Awesome story Ken!!!

Little Ed bassmaster in there. 🤣

I remember the last time a minivan tried to steal my bike and I was like nah and smashed that thieving minivan with spiked brass knuckles and an Iron Maiden poster

The EC300 exceeds expectations with all the modern tech I can't imagine how good they are. I'm really wondering what it could do with tuning and modifications impressive stuff. We know not to mess with SR's custom van!

Considering its 200cc down and 10hp down it gave a good run against the cr500

I bet that sucker will do 85 all day with stock gearing. I once raced a friend of mine down the winding country road with several 35 mph turns that I grew up on. He was driving his late model Honda Prelude and I was on my brand new 97 CR125 and I waxed his ass really bad. After about five miles I lost him and he said he almost wrecked trying to keep up through the turns. Dirt bike for the win!!

The 300 2 stroke is the best. It's revs high and has so much torque. 500 2 stroke has way to much rotating mass and don't feel like a proper 2 stroke. It also doesn't rev high. If you want more than 300ccm you need to at more cylinders. The Brc doesn't go over 55hp on the back wheel even everything is for high performance. But I like the project, keep it going 🤘

Story time with Uncle Ken!? Real? Fake?! Who cares, it’s a sick story! 👍🏻

This is so killer ... Rev'd out 2 strokes and Danzig all in the same video .... Hell yeah !!!! Kaplan Cycles has all the good stuff .

That soundtrack is on POINT! Thanks guys

So this is why everyone up there wants a gasgas...Impressive.

Can we please get a KX/YZ/RM/EC/SX or CR 350cc 2-stroke in the mix!?

Story time with uncle Ken!👍

Jesse James used to use a Dylan minigun mount on a turret on top of his suburban... Search for when monster garage was fail and Jesse doesn't like failures... And he hates golfers the best one was when he took a Porsche about a 911 and turn it into a golf ball retriever and it had like a potato gun inside they had hooked up to an air compressor and he fired the golf balls back at the golfers on the driving course I think he hurt one pretty good he might have got taken court over that one because they don't show it much anymore

That 300 is going to be a monster when you convert to 500 as I do recall you saying there is 500cc big bore kit for it

The low end torque of these bikes is incredible.

Boy id love me some gasgas 2 stroke woods weapon you got me sold ken god bless america and dirt bikes!

We need more of savage Kaplan vids lmfao the Thor hammer going slow mo through the window top 😂

I was waiting for the g-funk to kick in and I was not disappointed! You went straight office space on that minivan!

“Would you look at that….look at that” 🙌🎊😅

KEN IS LIVING THE BEST LIFE 🤣👍👍👌👌

Congrats on putting those loudmouth gangster wannabe punks in their place. I honestly, wouldn't think any different of you, if ya did , Ken Sr. I deal with anger issues. My beautiful deceased Father was heavily involved with Road Rage, long before the news media talked about it. Dad was a small man in stature...160 lbs or so...His hands weren't big, but they were made out of sandpaper, and were nothing but knuckles. His knuckles were so big, it made his hands look deformed. He was fast as a Cheetah, and Hit like a sledgehammer, often knocking out, people twice his size, with one punch. Dad was never a trouble maker, but he would quickly take up for anybody being bullied, and that I inherited too, since I was one of those people, many years ago, until I got fed up with it. Bullies do what they do, out of fear and insecurity. Most have traumatic, unhealthy, and abusive childhoods. He loaded and unloaded jet planes at the airport his hole life. Very Hard Work. He loved to scrap though. Old School True Badass....Unlike most people of today. He had a heart of gold though, and a soft heart for animals, elderly people, and handicap people, as do I. To tell you all the scenarios that occured back then, that I remember, would take hours. I can't wait to see the new and improved GasGas EC300, in the near future.

All the big box bike retailers need to take some notes. Lol

Ken has been watching to many Mad Max movies

« All I want to say is : would you look at this » 😂 Totally badass edit!!

Ken , you are Thor . Who needs a hoist , when you have the beast KEN .😉😏👍

That was bad ass dudes...love watching you guys!

My dad told me that same story about when you fuck with the bull you get the horn

Channeling Ronnie! 😆. Light weight!

LMAO Kaplan America is a great storyteller and gentleman!

Got the '23 EC300 today. Love the bike! This is one of the videos that helped me decide upon purchasing it. Power is ridiculous.

I can’t stop watching this!!! Best one so far.

I love the video,and you guys are my kind of people, God fearing,Bike loving, and true Americans can't wait to meet all of you,and buy a few bikes God bless,and stay safe see you in 2024 Matt,KY

I absolutely freaking love that you guys routinely bench press your bikes! I want to see which one of the Kaplan staff can get the most reps!! I am thinking Junior can get 25. Talk about content!!

I am looking forward to drinking coffee sitting around the firepit with you all and sharing war stories about all the stuff we did as young men that never happened!!

More story time with sr please. #nationaltreasure

1:29 Haha what the girl in the background is thinking ;-) Quite normal: Boss's lunch break ;-)

Uuuuuu guys r the best ….. mother 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻.. gasgas for life .. ohhhhhhhhh mother

Mess with Kaplan America he’ll rrrrriiipp your house off your foundation! Been watching since the beginning. 2 strokes for life

Hey Ken! Great video. We're glad that shoulder has healed up good. Obviously. Ha! See you@ Unadilla! (Keith).

Hope to catch you guys up at Laconia next week!

My man is a showman

Music is on point!

Excellent 💪👍👍 Sr. Is a certified Wildman 😃💪 HA. Love it . The 500 kit for those 300’s is going to be a sweet piece. I think it should be reliable horsepower too for many years if service . Count me in when I get some cash . Fuel injection 500 two stroke. I look forward to it . Thank you very much and good luck 🍀

Love that you brought the Getto Boys song,goes perfect for the video

lmfaoo LOVE storyy time with uncle Kennn 🤣🤣

Now that is a great Story cheers Mick Australia

Gotta say that damn 300 is a screaming demon. That might be funner than a 500. I have a good running 500 but I'd like to have a harder top end hit. Hey wanna figure out how much I could get on a trade for a 300

Nice vid! You guys have had thousands of rare and interesting bikes come through the museum and shop, especially off road bikes. I'm so surprised you guys haven't ever come across the aprilia off road range (SXV, RXV & MXV). Would be cool if you could do a video on these as they don't often get recognised anymore unfortunately. Keep up the content and all you do for the moto community :)

This made me so happy on so many levels.

That wad the best ending story ever!!!!

8:30 edbassmaster love it

Danzig and 2 strokes rule

Really really impressed. Very nice machines.

Looking forward to the 500cc conversion and how you got it running 100% ... Oh, i just found the vid , so i'll watch it now.

i didn't know ken was a body man?

Omg. You guys rock!! Love story time with Ken!! Lol👍🤣

Best job in the world!

Those GasGases are bad ass!!! You have too much fun making these videos!!! LMAO!!!!

That bommieknocker was sick!

You are my kind of MADMAN!!

Oh boy Kenny Mr you're in big trouble when you get home for destroying Christie's minivan she's going to kick your ass LOL

When Senior was killing the mini van it reminded me of the copier machine scene in "Office Space"!

the future is here and now !! ❤️amazing bit of kit . personally couldn’t afford one but if i could i would know where to come for sure .

This was awesome! 🤘

This is what happens Larry! This is what happens when you try to steal a strangers GasGas!

GasGas is Badass...

Shut up and take my money! OMG, you flung a craving on me for one and I already have "too many" bikes. The red is so hot too. Can't wait to see what it does after the conversion.

Fucking awesome just coming on to it 🙌, say up here in Canada 🇨🇦

Husqvarna had some serious trial and errors when they were hooking up to electronic fuel injection as they chose to use injectors in the boost ports .. I read up on it they ended up putting pressure sensors in the bottom of the crankcase that's one of my two stroke gets on the pipe on the power band kicks in it's making boost higher than atmospheric pressure we call that supercharging and the reason why two strokes out around four strokes any day anytime anywhere same size same size... Pop Yoshimura and R&D Honda training told us all of that so why don't you Tape a 1/16 pipe thread in the bottom of the cases ..that plenty big enough to fix a fitting attached to a SS braided hose to a ordinary oil filed 100 psi air tank guage ..then for the very first time ever on camera we will see just how much boost 2 strokes make when they come on the pipe and begin their power band ..and we can watch this happen on your Dyno jet.. and you'll be Rockstar hero Kaplan hear me Rockstar hero of the world has no one's ever done in front of a camera but I'll bet big money Husqvarna has that they had to put pressure sensors in the crankcase on their TC 125 250 or TC 300 whatever it is to get those electronic injectors to flash a bunch more fuel in there as soon as it comes on the pipe makes boost..... To do this it's so frustrating to sit here watch you and waste my time actually I've been sitting here wasting my time watching you all day anyway.... You have come a long ways it's fascinating show .. yes I want to see you build your own expensive I know you can do it I bet you get to town have you ever want to take water or anything like that nothing to it.... I was working on it 35 million facelift for a theater in Bloomington on campus and I don't know how many millions of the four year old redundant the steer that's been there forever anyway there's this construction welder who is in the ornamental welding for such things as this theater.. and he has some helpers they were doing some bending on this stainless steel as he was making the banisters and the railings for the foyer attached to one in thick bulletproof glass between the rail and whatever and he was running stainless steel beads about it 16th of an inch wide it was just freaking beautiful and he can't f****** a little bit when you get done that's that's how to finish they left.. as a running for all satin finish so it didn't sparkle in your eye but you can see it as well playing today cuz he's made sure that they showed all around the 90° spindles and like half inch thick raised washers with the flat rail on top handrail going up to this marble stairway imported from Italy I don't know crazy money ...anyway this tig welder was about 10"x4"x4" box with a little bottle of gas and welder attention ark handheld handle was about the size of a airbrush. Always welcome there you can just barely hear this real life hissing sound that was just constant. The guy was good at it was very good never seen anything like it before it wasn't any larger than one of those harbor freight 6 amp portable battery chargers ..and plugged into a 120vac wall outlet ... Expansion changers when they're designed properly reflect the sound wave from the last time it fired from the exhaust reverse reverses the sound might back up and hits the exhaust Port opening in the head just as that boost ports plus the combustion chamber and the whole top end with pressurized above atmospheric pressure the sound wave keeps the boost that's above air industry pressure from blowing out the exhaust part and so that piston come back up covers it seals it off in a tire on the pipe in the power band and you can show how that works as nobody has ever done that no manufacturers that for why I don't know and when I was reading the story about the TC Husqvarna they just mentioned one time about pressure sensors in the crankcase and never elaborated.... Probably for fears they never sell another four stroke .. every now has to make some pretty hot ones like the 710 of the 125 mph. .. my friend just got a 610 the other day it's been a fire that's the gas tank burnt everything else is Cherry he's about to get it together ... I'm thinking when you get that 300 kit and one of those gases or didn't you say you had a 350 ? don't know anyway .. cuz you're expensive like one of the old FMF Daddy's shorts really big diner since it comes out the exhaust port. Getting exhaust manifold plans gasket in Pennsylvania around the port take diagram for that part into the matching up with the gas that's what matches up with the plan and polish that exhaust portal like a mirror... And for the intake part right behind the ridge and the boost parts you leave them with a medium scalloped finish that looks like snake scales all running in the same direction as the flow about maybe 30 seconds of an inch deep just enough to make all the casting from the molds disappear and it only has that snakeskin looking effect from a carbide Burr family diagram or turned up about third on the air so you don't run away with yourself and take a big hole in the side of it and just keep going around around just lightly just let that die grinder pull itself around there and don't let it climb mill into the cylinder anything if you do just be careful you don't drop in a port and raise the parts real funny Damn Kevin could you understand anything at all in my comments I sure as hell can't this God damn Google b******* and their AI just keeps changing and words as fast as I can change it back the sons of b****** They don't like your name either now you're Kevin. .. have I tried to use my keyboard on the T-Mobile phone it's so small and it is as big as it'll go my finger covers about three keys so it takes to I guess it which one I want to press so I can't spell anything because of the keyboard will not spell what I'm trying to make it feel I can't talk to this because it changes everywhere I just did now I can't even explain to you what's going wrong is this stupid son of a b**** horny print half of what I'm trying to tell it to do.... I'll bet that big square headed Hammer of Thor will fix it right across the face of this son of a b**** like my cousin said one time when I asked him why a stereo was all tore apart laying up and down the River levee1 he said I fixed it I fixed it so it'll never give anybody any trouble ever again

“Their car was fucking totaled” 😂😂
