Good enough! I am an old guy too. When I was out in Colorado I could see what you are saying. In GA it is a different story. While parts are available it is a pia to get them when I compare it to my WR250R or even my old KTM 450 EXC. I did find an online microfiche ordering page and...

I think Rod nailed a couple of pages back. GasGas really needs to support and expand it's dealer network. Our local shop out here use to sell GasGas years ago and I think even sponsored a race team. But after not receiving bikes, parts, or technical support he decided to not carry the product...

PM sent. Any pics?

Damn Vince.. looks like I was too late! Let me know if you are going to thin the heard.

Hey now... I have both a GasGas and a Beta. I am an equal opportunity owner!

Hey Vince! Looks like it will be late July or August when my schedule will permit me to do one of these. What do you know about the Coal Miner in Tracy City or the Swimmin Hole in Holland GA? Easy enough that I will be able to drive myself back home?

Back when I was in my late teens I joined a club in the Illinois an Indiana area. If I remember right the first enduro was 90 miles with one or two fuel stops. I think I made it 40 miles before some guy came along and DNF'd me... or something like that. I remember teaming up with an older guy...

So let me start by saying I rode my first Enduro at 18 I think and that was in 1978 on an IT175.. did not finish. I loved the idea of doing an enduro and had an older buddy who was showing me the ropes. Rode two more enduros (didn't finish either one) and then my buddy moved away and work and...

I spoke to a local dealer with whom I have done quite a bit of business with over the last 7 years. I have gotten to known the owner pretty well and he is still a KTM and GasGas Dealer. However he doesn't carry any GasGas inventory and won't until they straighten their distribution network...

Found out why the rear brakes weren't: Could not find a rear m/c rebuild kit for a 2001 XC250 so I did a little digging and it appears it is the same m/c that is used in the 87 - 01 Honda CR250. So I ordered one of those and it fit perfect. I have a rear brake again. Guess I probably...

do you have a seat available?

HuskyDuck on BSB.. Tom Hanger

I think so! I picked up mine from Tom.

The spring fit without an issue. I wish I looked at it a little closer... for some reason I thought I would need a spring compressor to remove the old one and install the new one. Wasn't required, just needed to back off the collars far enough and then slide the bumper down and remove the...
