OSSA and Gas Gas ?

[motorhead]

MXA's website reporting Gas Gas and OSSA are in talks to merge production at the Girona, Spain facility. I've read things were bad economy wise in Europe, but this is interesting. Anyone know any more details than whats on MXA's website? Which by the way I got hooked on last fall, I swear they have more Euro and exotic news online than I get each month in Dirt Rider.



While I'm here whats up with all these "looking for this part or need these graphics" threads in the general discussion forum. Shouldn't they be in the technical forums under the appropriate heading? That's where I look for parts info, hate to miss something usefull because the info is in a weird place.

For every thread I move, ten more show up in the wrong place. I don't leave redirects because there are so many it would be a big mess. Same goes for Girard I'm sure. I've posted sticky notices several times. Quite frankly, its just laziness on the relative member's part. Like picking up after kids sometimes. I don't think this site is so large or difficult to navigate that one is forced to dump a thread wherever they feel like, mostly in the general forum. I'll admit I've been busy the past few weeks so it has built up again, next week on vacation so I'll have time to clean house. Thanks.

Last was heard here, there is a thread somewhere, was that GG had been 'bought' from bank control by a group if enthusiasts. Which we all hope will lead to a better product (if it could get better )

Sorry GMP
Had not been on here in awhile and was shocked at all the parts and accessories questions in "general discussions and announcements".
My intention was not to make more work for the moderators, but rather put that out there so maybe others would realize there is a specific place for "need muffler bearings for 05' 300" and so on and so forth.
Thanks to everyone involved for all your hard work so we can enjoy this resource!

Older buildings, lots of stone, tile, etc. I think router is in or near bar, works best there. Pretty good in my unit near glass door, just had to find the spot.

Yes






Not good though, at least not if you were expecting to see one of those sexy reverse cylinder, fuel-injected, snake-piped green and white and Ohlins gold devils 'in the flesh'.

Gas Gas has been telling me since last summer that they are in negotiations with Ossa to bring Ossa production into the GG facility. They have discussed several different options with the Ossa name but none involve the new DI motor. I understand Ossa only has one running copy of that bike and it has been a chore to get it to work. If GG does build the Ossa there, the bikes would have a GG engine. I'm talking about off road. I have no clue what they would do with trials.

OMG that OSSA is one very sexy bike!
When that image broke aways back I admit drooling over the keyboard for weeks. Then after reading the Gas Gas /OSSA rumor I daydreamed some more.
Oh well
Maybe the Husqvarna/Ktm thing will deliver DI ?
