Even Canadians are welcome but you prolly need to bring your own beer since ours is so weak compared to yours.

You better be careful Trev. You might end up being stuck in customs too.

Awesome!! His review of the 2012, combined with AfterHoursCycles reputation with a GG rider here in AZ and Chilly's review got me off the fence. I even subscribe now. Hope to see another write up on the 2014.

I do think it is tough to get good information out of the magazines to be sure.
I went riding with a bunch of guys riding everything from a KDX200 to KTM 450's and my buddies semi clapped out GG300 was my favorite ride. Would have never thought I would have went back to a premix bike again. I rode quads for a few years and hadn't ridden a bike in 20 + years. I got a new 2010 EC300 and still love that bike today. Probably not the best suspended bike but really good. Inspires confidence, and my 16 year old who is a 4stroke zealot calls it Dads cheater bike. It is sad but guys who ride with me and see how I ride come up and ask...is that really 274 lbs??? Looks like it handles well but man I don't want to pick up 274 pounds. That misinformation is powerful. It is again sad but these guys will talk like what is said in that magazine like they rode it themselves...tragic I try not to be a brand loyal zealot but I would have to ride a 14 GG before I bought a beta as good as they sound. I am short legged so it limits the options anyway. I think most of the guys here know the scoop, but I feel for you Clay trying to fight the good fight. Keep it up and hopefully Spain can get their act together. |

FWIW I have about 110 hours on my '12 250es & I like it more each time I ride it. The snottier the conditions, the better this bike works.
I've never bought a bike because of what some mag writer said, but because I rode it and liked it. |

Unfortunately I think you are the exception rather than the rule. A surprising number of riders think that what the mags says is the absolute last word on the performance of a motorcycle.

I'm sure Trev is safe. They let Scott Rocher through on a regular basis.

It's possible for us to ride at Carter Mountain? I've been wanting to ride there for a long time.
If you have a demo ride at Carter Mtn, (and my wife let's me go, .) I'm there man! I'm thinking about getting a 14' anyway.
