That is too funny right there!
SO in other words if you see a GasGas coming your way on the trail give them a wide birth because they cant see or hear you.They might also be a little cranky because of the price of Rogain has gone up and there Viagra subscription has ran out. :D
 
Hell Bchatt,laughed till my teeth fell out!
41 here with moments of feeling 18 on the bike followed by days of 65.

I am 40. Stopped riding at 23 and got back into it 3 years ago in a 450x, but quickly switched to the GG. Had IT 175/200's and KDX's back in the older days. First bike was a Kawasaki KE50 followed by a Yamaha RZ50. Also do lots of mountain biking here in NZ on an equally awesome Ibis Mojo (Ibis and GG is wives 2 and 3).

God this feels like I am writing to some Dirtbike dating forum or something!
 
The more I ride the younger I get. It's all just numbers anyway. The friend I ride with most is 70 but he bails on me from time to time so he can go sky diving.
 
40 yrs. old, started out riding my older sisters Taco mini bike then my dad bought me a 1974 Yamaha GT80 for $75 when I was 10. I remember being really embarrased cause all my friends had the new water cooled RM80. But I ran the piss outta that GT....wish I still had it!

My opinion, a Gas Gas is a gentlemens bike.

So does this mean we should get the factory to change the kit that comes with the Race models? We don't need the top end, sprockets, air filters, etc. Put Rogaine, glasses, Aleeve in the kit?

51 for a few more weeks. started riding when I was 17 on friends bikes. Got my first bike in a trade for doing a head gasket on a fiat x 19, miserable job. bike broke a piston on the way home. was a honda xl 125 with a poweroll 175 kit. broke kick starter gears, little suspension. made me work to keep up with my friends. next was a Honda xr200, rode for many years, including prerunning 800 miles in baja in 1999. then a couple of suzuki dr350's, I thought that was quite a bike till I jumped on a friends GASGAS- then my bike riding got really fun! Had to have a couple- got a little pampera, and my 300 which I had Les at LTR set up for me. Will ride these for a long time with a big grin!
 
36 - been trail riding most of my adult life. Doing as many rounds as possible of a novice hare and hounds enduro series this year, and plan to try riding some of the more interesting time card enduros in far flung corners of the UK starting next year. Learning plenty and enjoying the trials bike too (I was reminded the other day that I'm the third generation of trials rider in the family, so it's kind of compulsory!) Never be competitive, but have fun riding enduros just to finish. The EC300 is excellent, although with all that power, it can be something of a handful toward the end of an event :eek:
 
I'd be a lot older if it wasn't for the bikes

It all started on a club cadet mini bike from two guys back in 69 when I was twevle, $129 out the door. 1971 saw a new SL 100 out the door at $499.00
Multiple Jap bikes up until 1986 when I went Euro on a WR400 monoshock, disc brake Husky. A KTM 300 followed in 93. But It was love at first sight when I saw my 98 EC 250 Six Days. I've purchased other bikes since, but I felt like I was cheating on my Gas Gas and had to let them go. Just like my other ole girl, I know this one inside out and its' held up pretty well and still gets the job done.

Current rides
2009 BMW R1200GS multipurpose vehicle
2007 Ducati Sport Classic sunny sunday ride
2007 GasGas txt 280 exercise and technique trainer, (I ain't that good)
2006 Triumph 675 Track bike, mental therapy
1998 Gas Gas EC 250, feels like a 125 with a 250's hit, reo-stat like-throttle, torques off the bottom and hits on top, loves the rocks and studs up for the winter. Too old and set in my ways to even thing about a different bike.
