Hi, I'm new around here.
Gidday, I'm new to the forums and the Gasser world.
I live in NZ and have cruised these forums for a while now, but thought its time to join up! I have ridden Motorcross for years with various brands and sizes etc.. most recently a CRF450R, but I got sick of sore arms and replacing valves So now I have a EC200 and I love it. I have a 11yr old son who is learning on a TTR125 big wheel and we do mainly trail and mountain riding. I'm trying to upskill with a bit of cross-training to maybe try some Enduro races....when I find some time outside of work and kids!!! If I'm not working or running around after kids, I'm on my dirt bike, running, skiing... or on my PS4/Xbox1 (If the wifes not looking) Anyway, wanted to say Hi fellow Gassers.

Welcome.
Coming from mx you will know how to corner, living in NZ means it is easy to get on a Chris birch training day to learn everything else

Been watching a fair few of Birchys and some aussie Enduro dude vids on YouTube. I am enjoying the change of pace from MX, instead of being pinned in 4th the whole time, its more a battle against yourself and the terrain. Would love to get my 'wheelie and rear brake control' mastered for those long, slow 'Jarvis' wheelies. Dreams are free I guess.

That's a bit freaky, I'm on an ec200 and my 11 yr old son is at me for a ttr125. You're probably as glad as i am that Richie retired. Will the coincidences never end.

Welcome! The 200 is a good choice in my opinion
I have two (2006 and 2015) and my eldest son has one (2011). We (this forum that is) will try to answer any question you might have. Greetings from the other side of the globe (Norway). Sent fra min GT-I9295 via Tapatalk
