First bike 1966 Maico 400. Riding dirt for 48 years and have the broken bones to prove it. I have an 05 300 ec and wondered how the hell I rode some of the crap in the past, having a blast on my gasser.

44 years old, riding off and on for 36 years. first bike 1980 YZ60 (yes a screamin little 2 stroke). Last week and weekend rode Moab area with some buds and was able to ride the EC300 longer, harder than I could previously on my 4T's. Rode the Sovereign system, White Wash sand dunes, Mary's trail, Enduro Loop, BFE, Kane Creek, Slickrock, etc. Came home yesterday, and not sore at all today. What I'm sayin' is I ain't exactly young anymore, and the gasser made me look good, didn't wear me out, and conquered everything I pointed it at. I am impressed all over again. BRING IT (KTM's slogan is "ready to race". GasGas' slogan should be "BRING IT")

I turned 61 last December.
Started riding at 9, when I got to ride my friends Cushman Eagle (which I promptly crashed into the side of his house). Next was a "catalog classic" mini bike, also the same year. I got my first motorcycle, a Cushman Highlander, at age 10. I had a part time job and paid half of the $300 price tag. My parents paid the other half. Traded it in on a 1965 Harley M-65 Sport (Italian 2-stroke Harle), which I kept riding off-road. Traded that one in on a '68 Yamaha Trailmaster 100 (YL2CM). It didn't have much travel, but would climb a tree. This is the bike I was powersliding around a gravel curve when I hit that 1600# Charoleis bull. Long story and lots of bikes later, including over 100K street miles, I now primarily ride a one year old 2011 EC250. I love it. It's my 10th Gasser. My grandkids get a CRF50 with training wheels and full gear for their 3rd birthday. I'm growing my own riding buddies.

And good on you for bringing your grand kids into it An option you might want to think about for their bike - the Oset 12.5" (electric trials bike). We picked up one of these for our oldest (when he was 3 - he'll be 5 in June) and he's been doing great on it ever since. No worry about burns from exhaust, it's easy to pick up, and he can literally ride it anywhere - parks, etc. Here's a short clip of him riding around the area we camped a few weeks ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4QN2zS3i94 Reading your post is just plain cool. |
