I am very interested. What will be the format and how much seat time per bike? 5 hours would be a long drive just to spend a couple laps on 2 or 3 bikes.

Marc, depending on the time of day and people there at that time, you will be free to ride as many bikes as many times as you like. Basic rule- one lap at a time if others are waiting, if no one is waiting you are free to take another lap. I have a single track loop laid out that is a 1/2 mile or so (haven't clocked it yet) that has climbs, drops, rollers, loose rocks, ruts, buried logs and exposed logs. All woods, no double track.
5 hours is a long way and we appreciate your considering the trip. We'll do our best to get you plenty of seat time while also making sure everyone gets a ride. I don't think you'll be disappointed in any of the bikes. Thanks

Getting this thread back to the top. One week from today! Sherco bikes are already loaded in the bus, GasGas 2014 300s are still on the boat & it is touch & go as to whether they'll make it for the demos...[:0] Storm in the ocean, customs clearance etc......
Make your plans folks & hope to see you all next Wed or Thurs!

Sherco/GasGas rig is on the road and enroute! Loop is properly watered and the sun is headed this way ! And just to clarify any confusion...the Sherco models are enduro models, yes they make trials bikes as well but this demo will be all enduro all the time, I had someone ask this morning
