When I was in Spain, they gave me two hats that look more Melik style than Stuckey style so he's already covered!
Jeff told me last weekend that he's going to school full time and working full time and still racing 25 weekends. That's dedication, huh?

I think that this is a win/win for everyone involved. The local riders are GG's (and KTM and Huskys) bread and butter. There is a certain other company that seems to have forgotten about supporting its grass roots riders. Dumping all your marketing money into 1-2 Pros isnt good value compared to what 6-7 local hot shots can do to stimulate business.

No doubt! This is a great approach to gaining a loyal following also.
