I heard they were buying Chevrolet. Orange frames and orange bodies with flat black wheels. Of course you have to trade out the front suspension with your older suspension before you drive it.

Do people believe every rumour they hear?

I heard that anyone that rides a yamaha has the left ball bigger than the right one... It's definitely true as I read it on the Internet!

Get a grip peeps who cares if gasgas gets bought by someone else? They will still make bikes, and if you don't like the bike they build, then buy something else, bigger things to worry about, like I've got a leaky tap..

It's true! Mine grew the minute I pulled my YZ into the paddock. It's worse now...I aquired a Zuma scooter to boot.

I believe that if you don't hear a good rumor by 10 o'clock, START ONE. I didn't read that on the internet, cause i doan red reel wel. Did anyone bother to check it out on Snopes? It's not in their data base. The internet strikes again.

Your right on the worrying part , but KTM will scrap the enduroe bikes ,or do worse and throw WP on them, and just keep the trials division ,ready made just put WPs and KTM sticker on it !

Personally I would like to see one of the Japenese companies by it ,leave the basic bike structure alone so they would have a true endure bike, green ,red blue or yellow who cares !

Just think throw nothing but a KTM sticker on it and it would instantly be the best bike made and the posers would argue 'till the end of time that the sticker made all the difference in performance !
