GasGas Riders Club/GasGasRider.org Meeting

[wheelie]

awh shoot Rick, its just a hop skip & a jump. U could catch plane and ride clays demo bikes ha..or i could lend you one (look at GGRM250 post...lol).
LL's is a real treat for those who have never been there, its worth it. Plus, what a better place to have a gaggle of gasgas's show up that may out number dem punkins.

Now your talking...ride a demo bike Where do I sign up! Really, this would be very cool to get back east and ride a bit. Last week I was in Ohiopyle, PA and the woods looked CRAZY! Roots, Rocks, and it was wet! Unlike out here in the west! I just may have to keep my eye on this thread......

I already have a GGRM200.....or everyone thinks it is a RM

Maybe we could have a "ride within a ride" at something like the Loretta Lynn's spring trail ride near Waverly, TN. Then the trail, food, medical staff, port a johns, showers, etc would already be provided and all I would have to do is bring some demo bikes and beer!

I'm in with a stipulation... what kind of beer?? It better not be PBR!

That's one of the problems with an event like this..... It's always a longs way for somebody.

You know, I was looking at ways to make this work from Seattle. I was looking at making GasGas my primary bike for the long-term. But if the US Importer doesn't support a BLUE RIBBON beer, what's the point? I mean, really, it was voted America's best beer in 1893. It's got some history!

This is where you chime in and say "just kidding!"

I think they still have the same barrel of beer they are bottling from since 1893... just saying..

[Cruiser]

I'll pack a couple cases of the local water(yuengling) for the trip.. just in case your stock comes from the other breweries.. If I can get to Prism brew house I'll pack up a few from there.. and pack my 97 up for the trip.. and maybe the 03 my buddy now owns..

Sorry to disappoint you. Maybe we can get a wide selection of beer for you guys. I don't mind buying PBR 'cause it's cheap ( wonder why?) but I'm not drinking it.

So....unofficially official....Gas Gas rides and demos at the Loretta Lynn Spring ride which is in late March or early April.

I just would like to add that the reason I am on a GG now is because of a demo ride I had at a fall trail ride at Loretta's a few years back. It won me over and I think it is a great opportunity for other "brand loyal" riders to try one out. Don't know if I ever would have bought one unless I had that kind of opportunity.

Either the fall or spring rides there are a good time. I would highly recommend them to anyone thinking about it.
