Thanks GMP, That's the kind of feedback I'm looking for. You are right that I'm older and have a few pounds to carry around. I was raised on two strokes and have been away from the dirt scene way to long. I'm excited about getting back to riding dirt and don't want to "over-bike" myself for a while until I'm used to it again.. I don't think it'll take to long tho !!! I do know I want a new Gasser to begin this adventure. I am an old Bultaco rider. I have had alot of great times and years riding those machines, so, I know the Gas Gas and I will have a super relationship !!!! Tom
