Just getting back into the dirtbiking thing at the age of 40. The last bike I rode was about 7 years ago, an '87 CR500....I didnt so much ride it, more like held on and screamed like a little girl.
I did my research, knew my price range, and stumbled over a low hours, well maintained '05 Gasgas EC300. Dumped the old gas that was in it, mixed up some fresh stuff with Amsoil Dominator. Checked plug, changed tranny oil, cleaned air filter, loaded ' er up and went for a little one hour burn.
Thoughts.....love it. Love it. Now, the only other bike I can compare it too was that evil CR500, which I can't even come up with a proper witty comparison to.....this 300 is so smooth to ride, the power and torque at low RPM is awesome. Now, I just need some practice for the kind of riding I wanna do, just bushwacking and exploring the old fire and forestry roads around here........gonna be a wicked summer!
