[Mike Leach]

Hi guys and gals . Been riding Gassers since 03 . Just bought an 18 XC 300 .
Just had a KTM dealer tell me that Gas Gas is pulling out of North America . Anybody else heard this ?

If I wanted to sell you an orange bike, that's what I'd tell you also

Exactly! The guy is full of it. Why would anyone trust a competing company about their competitor?

GasGas said they knew how important the North American market was and is pushing to do it right this time. I believe there is no way they pull out of NA unless the company completely goes bust.

One of our old salesmen called it F.U.D.
Fear, Uncertainty, Distrust.

Sprinkle it about whenever a customer talks about a competitor.

Sales people are a different kind.

Could go either way. But, I've been riding GasGas' since 1998. This happens every few years.

I'll still stick with my current bike.

GasGas are manufacturing bikes, why would they be pulling out of one region?

If there's dealers who are willing to stock and support the brand, why wouldn't the factory supply them?

Seems like a Orange bike dealer trying to spread some dirt.
