Default Joing the club for 15

I have been dreaming of replacing my CR250 with a Gasgas for a few years now, and just took advantage of a smokin' deal on a leftover 14 at a dealer that is dropping the brand.
I have never even stood beside one before last week, so my exposure to Gasgas has only been from reading online, and videos. Pretty stoked to ride this thing, and learn about it as I go!
I ride tight, steep, and technical woods with some hill climbing, and alpine exploring mixed in. Ive done my best to convert my CR for the woods, but this new bike should fit the bill alot better. All I plan to do before spring, is add some full wrap hand guards, my favorite bend of fatbars, and a pipe guard.

Anyways, this site will be a great resource for me. I look forward to diving into the Gasgas world! It will be awesome to have this site as a resource.

Dan

Nice bike, you will enjoy it specially in the wood. The gas gas is a real Enduro!

I went from a fully converted kx250 to a gg and i think you will also be asking yourself why you didn't do it sooner (especially when you are lugging up steep loose climbs that would have had you kicking legs out in all directions on the CR)

Although there will be times you will miss the fun factor that comes with a 2t mxer

Grease all the linkage, swing arm and steering head before you ride it. Then enjoy the ride.

I'll second the radiator braces/guards. That is one thing I wish I did right away. I really like the Emperor/Scorpion products
