Ribs finally healed, jeez it's been forever.
But C19 has cleaned up all the local trail rides as too hard to run them, or maybe too risky will get canceled. There's a price to pay I guess.
Bought an XTrainer foe giggles, but keeping GG for certain rides as I love it.
Of course this forum is dead. Passion for a brand of motorcycle is built around that brand and our vison of that brand is dead. Some of that loyalty is passed on to the new "GasGas" brand but most was squandered by the incompetent government officials and GasGas managers who took control of the company more than a decade ago. The bikes coming off the Reiju line today do not have the GasGas name, are not made in the GasGas factory, and are not made by GasGas workers. They may be mostly the same bike as my 2018 gasser but so what. It is good that I can get new parts for my bike but if and when I ever replace my current gasser I will probably spend my money elsewhere. I've owned nothing but gassers for 22 years and loved them all but if Pontiac (a car company I love) came back today with the same cars they sold 12 years ago selling at todays prices I wouldn't buy one. Funny how they shut their doors about the same time GasGas started it's nose dive.Man, the forum has been pretty dead as of late. Have all of you sold off your Gassers and/or quit riding? Just curious if everyone abandoned ship or what!
That's a rather harsh and negative viewpoint but to each their own. I don't understand that thought process but more power to ya!Of course this forum is dead.

It's interesting how the pandemic has affected some countries differently. Down here sales went up with the pandemic, possibly a result of people rethinking priorities and also having additional time as a result of companies being forced to test work-from-home systemsI asked mark berg how things were going a while back in a personal e-mail. i recall him talking about how things were slowed by the pandemic with it's related shutdowns.
One good thing is that the dollar is become very strong relative to the euro - at parity. Costs less to import goods to u.s. from europe. See the attached image - the dollar is higher than it's ever been relative to the euro.

This forum is dead because most forums are dead. A few continue to thrive, but not like they used to. Social media pages like Facebook have taken a lot of the attention away from forums. I?ve owned my Rieju for almost a year. Found this forum when I googled for some info. I?ve never actually been in this general discussion area until today?
