GasGas Riders Club/GasGasRider.org Meeting
I know I'm kinda new 2 this site, but have you guys ever had an official gathering at one location?
reason I ask is I went to dirt rider.net's gathering (used to be a hot internet site that has since lost it shine) back in 2000. It was held in Oklahoma at Guy Coopers land with MX track & enough woods to hold a team HS/ night time poker runs, etc. The yr I went there had to be close to 250-350 bikes show and it was a great time with Cooper showing up and other industry guys along with support of venders like Pro Clean1000 (washing bikes for free), Astrik (sp) knee brace give aways, etc etc. It was a huge ordeal to pull off I'm sure, but each person that went had to pay a fee for camping/weekend fun so I think the expense's were covered. It would be great to have a yearly USA GasGas gathering...what do you think?

I live in AZ and it's been hard to convince the other members on this board from here to meet. I do see some of them at the races thru out the year. I did ride with one member from here(AZ), but he was WAY above my skill level and I played tag along the entire ride. |

wheelie,
I think you are referring to Spodefest. I went to the very first one, which was held in Illinois at Lincoln Trails Motosports park. It was a blast, and I know we had at least one guy come all the way from NY. He actually carried his bike in the back of a compact hatchback car. He had to reassemble it when he got to Spodefest. Pretty cool. It was a big turnout. I don't know that I would have the time to travel very far though. |

Well there is about 4000 members here, if something was really organized and hosted by this site & USA GasGas, Gofasters, etc I wouldn't see why you couldn't draw 100+ GG enthusiast out for a Friday, Sat/depart Sun deal.
You would have to email all 4000 members here, put it out on the websites, maybe the rags would mention it and generate a flyer with details,events,etc. It would have to be made to be a big deal, not just me & singletracker saying we are meeting up in IL for a ride and everyone invited. This would be more than a ride, it would be the premier offroad gathering in NorthAmerica (get them Cannucks to come also A site like Casey IL could pull it off with with space and their well respected motocross/GP track & on par harescramble courses that are somewhat a challenge but not overwhelming. Another place that could pull it off is ABATE of Indiana ground in Bedford IN (Lawerance county recreation park i think) where a GNCC was held this past yr. Both have indoor bathrooms, electric & all the room ya need. All guys would have to do is take a few days off work to come to a huge GG event...shoot it would be fun

If it doesn't interfere with my work schedule and wife's schedule I may make the trek. Sharing the trip would help a lot. It's a possibility.

i know it's not central, but somewhere in the south when its winter and all us up north can't ride might be a good idea......... but that makes for a long drive........
