No surprise we are looking like a typical bell curve already.

I'm 28, had a 6 new Yamaha's from 2000 to now. Raced all over the Pacific Northwest, BC and Washington. Had a couple of Honda's before that and a 96 KTM 250EXC. Just bought my first GG last month. Have only ridden it a couple of times, (waiting for snow to melt), but love the motor so far. Still hoping the suspension continues to break in. I wanted to try out a true 2 stroke purpose built enduro bike and I don't care for my local KTM dealer. Been riding since I was 10, started out on a fold down handlebar CT70 Honda.

I started riding at 21 right after I got out of the Army in 1968. I'm 64 now and it's still the only sport or activity that has held my interest continuously for all these years. I've lost count of the bikes I've had over the years, but I kept a few favorites.

78 Husky 390 Auto (the money pit)
10 KTM 300 XCW

A bit older and you think you can handle more (Jap 450/euro 525cc)

Then you get smart and you drink something that won't give you a headache in the morning. (no jap equivalent) (GG 200/250/300)
Agreed,at a respectable 46 just worked off the big fat hangover of a Kawi klx450r, moved to the 2011 GG300 estart- boy do i feel better already!!

Twenty one ... with twenty years experience. My heart feels young, but the rest of my body reminded me this morning of my true age after riding yesterday for the first time since October. Gotta work the aches and pains out though, because the race season is just around the corner.

The first bike was a new/non-current Yamaha DT100, which led to a dozen or so Yamaha's over the years, both street and dirt. The stable has at one time or another included a Sportster, a BSA 650, and a YZ125/EXC200 hybrid.

Without a doubt the best off-road bike I've owned was last year's GasGas XC250, and I'm expecting to love the 2011 just as much.

I can see the headlines now...." a recent poll undertaken by Spanish motorcycle manufacturer, Gasgas, turned up some suprising results. It seems 80% of Gasgas owners are blind, bald and over sixty. Most of them admit to riding like idiots even though by now they should know better. Market research also reveals the most purchased aftermarket accessory is a billet machined alloy zimmer frame mount that attaches neatly to the rear mudgaurd...."
