Finally got my "new" DE300 out
It has been a very long winter here in the NW and after purchasing a cherry '05 DE300 last fall, I have been dying to get her out for a ride.
Well, the clouds finally broke and the Mt. pass was clear, so I took 2 of my sons out for a nice Spring ride. This bike is so easy to ride! Puts power to the ground perfectly. Smooth buttery clutch and the suspension does a great job of absorbing trail junk and still lets you rip through the whoops without whallowing or bottoming. I rode with my sons, so I do have to putt a bit, and I can simply put it in 3rd and not touch the clutch. Nice! I did get a chance to tackle a few climbs and rip on my own and it has no problem going up the steep stuff a gear high and in the sunny mode, will rip in the open stuff. Great bike and cant wait to hit the tight woods soon! Here are 2 of my 4 sons having the time of their life and future Gasgas riders. |

Cool pics, don't let them ride the GasGas or you'll be buying more of them!

My oldest is 15 and rides a nice little KDX200, but loved my EC250 and longs for a Gasgas of his own. We will eventually have a garage full of gassers and try to keep Gran Prix in business for years to come as well as keep me working overtime!
I love riding with my sons. Great memories and as they have gotten older, their speeds have increased and they can ride tougher terrain. |

Yes riding with your kids is priceless. I'm 52 and my son is now 30. Let's just say he is a little faster now than his dad now but riding this past weekend was a blast. Enjoy!

Cool way to spend time with sons. My dad did this for us. I started when I was 6 or 7. Been riding for 40+ years. Started my daughters when they were 3. We have spent many years riding and working on trails together. It is a great family outing.
It is a good motivational tool for school and behavior. I could not imaging life without riding motorcycles.
