What to expect for 2016?

[Moto7man]

Thanks for posting, at least they are shipping out some spare parts.

Considering the situation, how can we make demands and "expect" anything. Better put...what we would like to see for 2016. Here is my wish list?.

1. The factory comes back swinging of course
2. New product, like a street legal dual sport 4 stroke
3. Better aftersales support from Spain
4. Lighter chassis
5. Larger fuel tank as an option
6. More fuel efficient carbs for the 2 strokes
7. Better dealer support like flooring, increased warranty flat rates, factory tech assistance hotline for our dealers, factory supported national demo ride program, REAL SERVICE MANUALS, technical training for new Gas Gas dealers, an annual dealer business meeting. Am I asking for that much?
8. Friendly competition between the brands, while sharing the same common goals and that is to put more butts on bikes...period.
9. Less bitching...more riding.
10. Hatchets buried and feuds settled...on all fronts. Life is just too short folks.

I like this comment from Rod,lets not forget the common enemy-lefty tree hugging sandal wearing clip board ticking PC don't let the kids get dirty greeny nob ends.We are loosing riding areas, less people involved & youth being pacified into less 'aggressive' sports & hobbies.Getting back to great turn outs at rides with heaps of brands represented (even Sherco) is the goal to achieve more events,better riders,better competition,successful dealers,profitable manufacturers,lucrative factory teams & then more development & R&D.
Almost became a rant sorry.

We gotta ride together soon Gasser. I could use a dose of that East TN positive attitude! Hey, Bukwheat and I are planning an assault on Highland Park soon, or perhaps a ride someplace in AL if your interested.

#7. Specifically a decent shop manual. I basically have to figure everything out by taking it apart.
