Default Support Dakar Gasgas rider Tommy Verbakel

One, one single rider in the Dakar is riding a gasser. Even if we do not support him with cash, we should at least cheer him on, shouldn't we?
I was thinking if we just put together a mail with a list of ggriders that cheer him on, and an invite to the forum?

So, who wants to (morally) support the only gasser in the Dakar?

EDIT:
Oops, found it under the thread about Dakar.

Unhappy

Hmm, it seems the famous gasgas mentality has a hard time reaching outside of North America? One man represents THE brand in the toughest rally in the world, and all I wanted us to do was just pop a 'hello' from the Gasgas community. I'm not asking any money. I don't know this fellow Tommy Verbakel. But he drives a Gasgas.

I am quite disappointed, and I would be ashamed to send an invitation to this great forum with only a list of five forum members to back it up.

Put me on the list if I makes you feel all warm and fuzzy. While a vote of support from some fellow enthusiats is nice I bet the guy will not lose any sleep over not having our support, or only a little bit of it.
