Default Brief Introduction

Greetings all. GasGas n00b here. I'm in eastern upstate NY, just outside of Albany.

I bought a 99 EC200 a couple of weeks ago from a local guy. I guess you could say it's all Woodsrider's fault, since he let me ride his old XC300 a while back. The bike needs a little bit of fixing up and some TLC, so it's a winter project for me. I'm sure it'll be ready to ride again in the spring. For now with the snow/ice flying and the temperatures in the frigid range, it's a great time for disassembly!

I've already learned a lot and answered a bunch of questions just by searching on the site. I'm sure I'll have more questions once I really start digging into the bike.

Welcome! I'm a newbie also. I just bought my '05 300 DE two months ago and am doing all of those "must have" modifications to my bike. I can't wait to get the cylinder head and carb back from RB Designs.

If you ride one, you'll know why. 200s are a blast to ride. Only downfall is they tend to run out of jam on big hill climbs (that's the only reason I switched to a 250).

Welcome to the bright side, tomatoe.
