Rick, I won't bore you with any long stores or wild excuses about CA, but it has been a very long struggle in getting all the required paperwork submitted CORRECTLY so we can begin setting up dealers there to sell motorcycles.
It has not been an easy task (Mark has lost 10 years off his life in the process, bless his heart

) but everything has finally been completed and now we await our friends in the state capitol to give their stamp of approval.
Meanwhile...
Our dealer in San Diego (Skeeters) has already submitted a very healthy order of 2015's and is anxiously awaiting the truck to pull in. Randy is very excited about finally, having GASGAS motorcycles in stock at his store!
We are also working on a couple of exciting projects that will be based specifically in SoCal. while I will be traveling extensively in the state all thru the winter and early spring, visiting with prospective dealers.
So yes Rick, we are very well aware of the importance of the CA market to this brand, and it remains my "priority 1" in dealer development.
