Default New to Gas Gas

I've been a Gas Gas owner for about a week now and thought I would drop in and say hi.

A few pics as well.

Thanks for all the kind words.

The Husky is a great bike, it just kicks my but in the tight woods. My first few rides in NE single track made me rethink my choice of getting a 510. I gave it a year to see if I would come around and gain some speed but it just wears me out in the tough stuff.

The gasser is alot easier to ride in the woods. Get the husky on an open trail and it just plain rips.

Kind of ironic that you bought it from a guy that went to a 530. lol !
Ryno did really well on that GG so enjoy it and keep the trend going !
You'll find lots of tech. help here if you need it.

That bike got ryno his AA rating, I believe that means top 15 in enduros In Netra. I believe he won his class too.

Your both right.

Ryan did go to a KTM 530. I think he would be fast on anything, he did say it took him about 25 hrs to get used to the bike.

He won the A championship last year and that bumped him up to AA.

Even with two hard years of racing the bike is still tight. I was surprized how tight it is. This bike is like new compaired to some of the not raced jap bikes I looked at. He put alot of time into the bike and you can tell when you ride it.
