Nope. It is mine. I already have dibs on it.

The last one we air freighted in was $1700. I think it rode first class.

That's fair. Anything less than 1st class would be inappropriate.

That photo has a price tag of $9350 (Canadian). That's about $9100 US.

Is that the current MSRP for the bike?

And a few more.

Wes.

Thanks. I just about had a heart attack.

Now I'm just in a mild state of de-fib.

Rick, you should be able to pay for about half with your race earnings right?

De-fib is what it's called when I show up at your house and shoot 300 joules thru your body. LOL

Tough crowd.

I think every EMT should have their de-fib paddles hooked up to their e-start button.

I would say only weak EMT's use E-start, but i'm pretty sure i am going to get blasted for using the words "weak" and "E-start" in the same sentence.

I read in the GasGas UK importer webpage the Race models would come with a Gilardoni cylinder ? Anyone knows if this applies to all countries? What's the big improvement with this new cylinder ?

[AZRickD]

These tree people say that it is the go-to cylinder for their chain saws.

Well, Clay will know today when he picks up the airfreighted bike. May be old info though, as the PV is supposed to be the same. I beleive Gilardoni casts some Husky cyls, but I could be wrong.

 

[AZRickD]

Picking it up today, eh?

I humbly suggest that if Clay doesn't give us a substantive report by close of business (with photos and a 10-mile ride report), we should temporarily ban him from this forum. Let's say three days worth of banning for failure to report, and a week of forum probation after that.

It's tough medicine, surely. But we'll all benefit in the end.

Edited to add: And video. We want fresh video.

It's not going to happen today. The bike arrived in Atlanta on Saturday after flying first class from Barcelona. US Customs still hasn't cleared it for pick up. I guess they were off work yesterday due to MLK holiday. As soon as customs ok's it, I will jump in the Ford race van and go get it. Don't expect a ride report though. I plan to keep it new and pristine so that we can display it at the Sumter, SC National Enduro next weekend. I do plan to have professional level pics to post on our website though.
Note to Rick.....if you ban me, how could I send pics?
