We recently got a chance to meet Hayden Doick , Will Allen and Gavin Gilday when they all made a trip out from back east so that we could shoot this 2003 Suzuki RM125 build with huge meaning behind it in the Dirt Bike Magazine studio.
Hayden wrote this about the experience:
“This bike is a tribute bike to one of my best buds that lost his life at too young of an age. Luke allen was 18 years old and loved anything with an engine. His favorite colors are blue and pink, giving the inspiration for this machine. From his initials on the top of the seat to the memorial stickers on the air box and the front fender. Never would I thought this bike would make it this far, even into a magazine. I can’t thank the Dirt Bike Magazine crew enough for making my dreams come true. This is an experience I’ll never forget for as long as I live! Maybe we’ll run into each other again as my urge to build better bikes continues to grow, just a kid that loves two wheels. Thanks again Dirt Bike Magazine!”
Here are some photos of the 2003 RM125 build from our studio session and look for a more detailed story in an upcoming issue of our printed magazine.
