To me this looks like trimming the fat. A sign of strength.

Does that suggest that 26 employees represents 1/3 of the current workforce?

The employee issues have little to do with the sad state the company is in, unless we're talking about management.

Yep, if management helped create a bloated workforce then the managment as well as the bloat both need cut. Hopefully they figure it out.

If not I'll pick up an extra set of plastics for my bike and ride it lets out the magic smoke. Is there even anything on these bikes that is made in a GasGas factory or are they just assembled out of parts from outside suppliers?

78 employees is really small, I am very surprised. I bet my local wallmart has more employees. Hard to believe 26 extra people caused the downfall of the company. Something else here is not right.

Has that ever happened in the history of management?

Frame, subframe, linkage, swingarm, triples, wiring, pipe, and engine are all I can think of. The only things that would be a real pain would be engine parts, the rest can be figured out with a little resourcefulness.

2 / 2013 Gasgas TXT trials bike , 1 / 2014 Gasgas TXT trials bike , 1/2015 Gasgas EC 300 . I really like my bikes and would buy from the same dealers again . They sell other brands . If they fail to survive I will have to look at other brands . If they survive and do not make public what they are doing to fix there company my next bike will not be a Gasgas . I do hope they pay attention to there customers . I have to in my business .

This thread has run its course.

I'm closing it due to the same issues being rehashed over and over.

GasGas has an announcement coming soon. There's a silver lining on the cloud.

Patience my fellow riders.

Thanks
Girard
