Quiet?
Is it just me or is this forum getting quieter with less activity?
Are people not buying GG's, moving away from them or is everyone riding less due to the credit crunch?

Don't know exactly why its quiet but seems over the years of riding life gets busy for most of us during the summer and I suspect money is tight for alot of folks including me but I believe its the summer HEAT that keeps alot of guys away from riding most of them puss out and wait for it to get cool.
Me, I like riding more during the summer than winter, cold weather SUCKS, cool weather is a bonus and a ride right after a summer rain rules. Going riding again Sunday should be in the lower 90's with chance of rain, oh I live in Florida there's always a chance of rain Ron |

GasGas is growing up here - but we're all too busy riding to post online. Eat, sleep, ride. Well, and maybe work a little to afford it all.

I think it's growing here in New England. I went to a turkey run in Maine last week and there were probably 10-12 GG's there. In years past I had only seen 1-3 show up.
I usually don't know what to post. Maybe I should post some pics of all the sand and water I will be pulling out of my engine this weekend from drowning it on the turkey run. GG's are like people they don't breathe well under water. |

Yup that was it. I went straight through the middle about 2 feet in and 3feet down. Then I pushed it through the water. Pulled the plug and the drain in the bottom, squeezed the air filter out and it fired up. The only problem was it still sounded funny but not related to the cylinder. I have checked the cylinder and piston and they look good so now on to the rest of the motor. I will post what I find. The airbox looks like a beach. |

i think its also because most faqs have been answered for most models already. most info ive needed was in old posts, or stickys.
i personally have no life, and spend most of my free time online, so i check a few dozen times a day

watch it every day, but my gg knowledge is very limited... I had a guy just buy the 250 gg i had, he wanted it when i bought it. And a friend of his bought the other 300 that was here in town. so in selling mine, another got sold as a riding partner...
I really like my 300, the 250 was just different to me. I bought it for my son to ride and he has moved out and is too busy.... so I am in the market for another and watch the classifieds.. Would really like an e start 4 stk... love the sight there does not seem to be the "problems" on this site some others have..
