Very excited to see the movement. Torrot/GG seems to be making some solid business decisions moving forward. Also a significant investment
 
Lets see Broc Helper ,Johnny Cambell , Geoff Aaron , and now Scot Harden WOW ! So i believe this shows that Torrot is REAL serious about the USA . I just read his history on the web and he rode when bikes did not have great anything by comparison to the bikes of today . And he won ALOT ! Then he had a great career in the industry on the business side of the sport . And now from a splintered company he is getting aboard of they seem to be ramping up to take North America by storm . Great News :) Go get Em GasGas !

Thanks for posting....that info

From the outside looking in looks like things are moving in a positive direction... now they just need to execute.

?Supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.?

?If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected .?

?To know your Enemy, you must become your Enemy.?

?Opportunities multiply as they are seized.?
