I like when I'm watching what someone's doing rather than watching someone's face explaining what they're doing. I feel like a lot of people just like to look at themselves, hear themselves talk, and bask in the glory of the attention they receive, and the thing they claim to be passionate about is really just the thing that caught on and got them the most views. When someone can showcase their craft without including their ego I feel like it shows true mastery and genuine passion for their craft.

Drilling the piston skirt is an old dessert racing trick from the 1960's(and it's only done on the intake side)It was often combined with a horn button converted to as kill switch so that you could send a burst of cool air when going wide open on the throttle for extended periods of time.

Most people totally screw up the exhaust flap and they get the back pressure wrong and the power band is totally jacked up. When that 250R is tuned right, it will dump your ass every time you shift! Also, piston height is critical, it varies in different year models. 1 year off and you can either have too much clearance, or bump the head when it warms up! This is one of my favorites over the years, Yes, I said "one" of my favorites.
