    Larsa are you there? MarK T.

    Hi Larsa - sorry I have not comunicated with you many mid-life crisis and improving now - can't talk "shop" just yet. Can you send me a PM from this site? The Husaberg has been down since july due to a garage mechanic really screwing up when the piston was replaced. My wife felt sorry for me...

    Part 2: My next bike will be a ...

    Hello Fello Gas Gas riders - this is a really great forum, although my original plan was to buy a 2007 GG 300, I could not wait. The reasons being, turned 50 and wanted it "now", EPA leagality, and just want a 30+ 4 stroke. I am now riding a 2007 KTM 250 XC-F-W 4 stroke. It handles like no...

    Fred Hoess overalls.

    I walked over to Fred's camp and was just looking around (Sat) - he smiled and started a nice coversation - he asked me about the terrian but I was a bit dumb-founded with the answers. A real class act and an "Old School" guy that really got me pumped epecicially at my age. He rode a...

    "I have a deposit on a 2007"

    I would like to get a "ballpark" prices and a deliver date 1st before putting down any down payement. Looks like the guys at GoFaster is my dealer of Choice as I have worked with Mark B. in the past with great customer relations, kinda like Jim Cook. That said, I'm still concerned with 2 stokes...

    Actually in my opinion we should have only one gerarlized Gas Gaw web site, kinda like KTM Talk. I like Jeff's site -this site- and don't visit the Smackover to ofter after Jim Cook left - I like consildated info. My vote is this site!!! TeX MarK

    My 50 Year Old Birthday Present - Sept 2006

    Thanks guys for the replies! I totally agree the Gas Gas 300 is a all around better machine than the KTM 300, at least out of the crate and for my personal preference. Parts were equal/less in price than a KTM from my past experience - the things I did not like about the GG which has been...

    My 50 Year Old Birthday Present - Sept 2006

    :confused: :confused: :confused: WOOOOooooooo??? No EPA certified 2007's legal in US National Forests??? That is where I ride most of the time. We will require a "green" sticker for the 1st time which starts in 2007 I think. So that would make a 2007 GG 300 2S illegal to ride in a USNF? I...

    My 50 Year Old Birthday Present - Sept 2006

    Hello Andrew - it is a great when my wife says OK - go for it!!! For me, it must have been the new tile we had installed which she really likes. Well you can't go wrong with a KTM for durability/relability - in S/E Texas it is usually a sea of orange KTM's, most of my friends are back on 2...

    Please note: that is $2,000.00 per eye not $199.00...

    Laser eye surgery "monovision"

    My plan was to have both eyes done for distance vision, knowing I would need reading glasses. Per my optometrist I went to a very respected eye surgeon in Houston (not the $300 dollar one but $199.00 per eye) with the latest laser and surgery practices. He said , "lets do just one eye, that way...

    PivotPegz / PowerPegz

    I agree it is likely a matter of taste. Personally I really like my Pivot Pegz with the return to 0° spring feature. They are of the highest quality and have stayed sharp with virtually no wear in 1 year. When others ride my bike they do not even notice them. The trick is to exploit them in my...

    G2 throttle tube

    I actually talked to the inventor of the G2 awhile back and he said he made an ultra quick openning throttle for Ty Davis and his team - I think it may be on the market now? You may want to lighten the EC flywheel weight which will really make it hit they way you want...

    My 50 Year Old Birthday Present - Sept 2006

    Thanks for the upbeat and positive comments!!! Yep, it is quite surprising even to me I am turning 50 - I've been riding dirt bikes since I was 13. Off road riding keeps you young, is a great workout, really minimizes stress, which we all have, and -still- is a great deal of fun. I figure I can...

    G2 throttle tube

    I really like my G2 also (on a 300 KTM) - I use the #300 for wet and the # 200 for sand. The good news for me is it is the same throttle tube as a KTM and will also fit on my potential 07 GG 300 :)
