New bike, new member

['11EC300]

I just ordered a 2011 EC300 expecting delivery next week sometime. Nearest dealer to me is about 600 kms away!
This will be my first 2 stroke but I have been reassured by a few GasGas riders that I will love it.
I would be really excited if it wasn't -30c outside with a few feet of snow. This is going to feel like the longest winter ever.

It's finally here!

Unfortunately it was -36c this morning so it is staying in the house for now. Living the bachelor dream.
Had to use half a gallon of GooGone to remove the dealership stickers. Do they really need to put 6 or 7 on one bike?

 

[john01]

SWEET, Congrats! No the dealers don't have to put stickers on them at all. They could just give out a few free T shirts for advertising. Well in your case... maybe a wool stocking cap. Hope it warms up so you can enjoy your bike. -36c you say, man this global warming is a real problem for us dirt bikers.

Interesting you bring up the dealer stickers. I hate extra bling and stickers. I like my stuff bone stock when it comes to bling. The '11 GG has enough bling from the factory IMHO. I really like my dealer and had to think long and hard about removing them but in the end I did.

I had the bike there after that and wonder if he noticed and if he was in some way insulted.

My dealer is in my signature here and everyone that sees my bike knows where I got it so I hope he isn't insulted.

If the dealer would have put 1 or 2 on it that would have been fine and I probably would have kept them on. They put at least 6 dealer stickers on and 2 Scorpion Racing stickers. I will most likely keep the Scorpion ones on as I plan on ordering the Scorpion heavy duty skid plate and rad frames.

I feel your ear to ear grin. Aren't new bikes great!

Congrats,

My dealer (Dirt Bike Supply) didn't put any stickers on mine but he gave me several and I put one on the rear fender....tastfully placed, of course, right over the disclaimer sticker.

Now that there is one sexy look'n Bike.

Congrats Tim you'll have to give us a ride report when the weather brakes.

Are you planning on regreasing her while the weathers a bit cooler out side?

What did you expect man? It is called Cold Lake after all!

Congratulations on your new scoot

 

[Bobt250]

Well, to be more specific. My dealer's stickers were huge. I was actually worried about being identified by a disgruntled landowner by them if I strayed into hostile territory. Not that I would ever do that

Don't know about re-greasing as it seems to be oozing white grease from a lot of places.... I keep finding it with my hands as I look over the bike. Any places in particular that are usually short of grease?
I plan on pulling out the carb to check what's in it. Then maybe backing it up to the door so I can hear it run.
