Finally got the bike out
Hello, I am a new member from central Minnesota. I recently bought a 2006 Gasgas EC 300 and I love the thing. I am coming from a Yamaha YZ 250, but knew I wanted a 300 after riding a KTM 300. The smooth and torquey power delivery fits my style perfectly. Also being 6'5" and nearly 300 pounds, the extra displacement helps. I ride single track with a mix of sand and mud most of the time. I used to race when I was younger, but haven't in a few years.
I've been wrenching on my bike getting it ready, and I finally got it out today. I've ridden it a few times to know I liked it, but now I am sure. Even though it snowed, then melted, the bike tracks really well, and powers out of corners nicely. I finally feel that I am in total control of the bike, rather than my old YZ which always felt like it was locked into a certain line. Anyway, happy easter.
