Speaking northern riding season, shouldn't you be up north on this beautifully clear weekend?

Almost all of Flagstaff trails got closed by the US Forest Service because someone neglected to put them on the Travel Management Plan.

We are looking for alternatives.

The only thing that is making me hesitate is that if I buy a 12it will depreciate twice in the first year .

Make your deal with that in mind. Both you and the dealer can do math. Ask to see the invoice. Give him a bit of profit for his efforts. Go ride.

Lots and lots of loose screws and a beer holder......

Its sounds perfect! If you can get them to ship these stubby holder models to Australia Gas Gas Spain will see record sales! Throw in a free carton of beer with every bike sold and it'll be a frenzy!

Just heard today the 2013 four strokes are due here next month with the 2 strokes to follow shortly afterwards 😃

If you going to go with the sachs just make sure you have identified a good tuner to get them to work (this is based on my experience with the 2010's)
mine are now a world different from what they were thanks to two-wheels, and possibly the best i have ever had, but i had to go without them for a bit more than a month since i could not get anyone to revalve them (revalve, not re-guess) them localy

From what I have read the 12 fork is much better than the 09/10 , I'm looking at a few options , if the 2013 does come in August that will appeal the most 😍

I'll probably hold off until the 2013s. I was really pushing to get a bike this past winter/spring but spend my cash on a new Mountain Bike instead.. silly me..
