TrailRider is the only magazine I keep getting. He rides/races/reviews here in the East where it matters. I let Ktm Rider.....I mean DirtRider expire, like Clay said those kids couldn't even beat a 53 year old at an enduro!

Kevin is a AA NETRA rider and he goes good. He can beat this 53 y.o. at an enduro and has several times! I really appreciate that he threw some crap at the west coast rags about the way they blew out the GG.
By the way....I got an email yesterday from D.R asking for a Sherco to test and I told them "No Thanks!".

That's too bad you refused a test bike. Even when they test a bike with their "surf" filters, anyone who is interested in one of the exotic bikes can view the quote up four what it is and gain valuable information about how the bike works.

Interesting perspective but mine is somewhat different. It seems to me that when GG has major updates to the way their bikes look (think 01,07,11,12) they pick up a few new customers who want the newest, shiniest, toy but those buyers will move on to something else in a year or two. The west coast mags cater to those folks - just look at the way they rave about a change of graphics on the jap bikes. Small incremental improvements to a bike that is already great and race ready is poo-pooed to the point of making the factory look backwards. I feel that the west coast mags have done more harm than good to GG sales this century and that won't change unless the GG factory starts advertising regularly in those mags.
