You are absolutely right! Our manlyness IS being threatened by these bikes!
For man and machine to truly become one, there has to be an exchange of respective bodily fluids i.e blood and oil. My Gasser steadfastly refuses to engage in this process, and remains aloof and untouchable...... like some spanish conquistador..........

Think of it like having a FACTORY ride

You can come and put time in fixing up a tired 97GG,, it served many miles riding hard and never going down while out on a trail.. until I let her sleep.. she sat idle for years as the 03 got saddle time.. now taking her out to play its like a spiteful woman.. only minor things.. but I have to get on her good graces so she will like me once again..

You dont see many people who just wont part with a 14 year old abused enduro bike.. has to be a special bike.. or GG owners like me have several screws loose..

'TXTing me' thats not what you wanted to write! Maybe you need a KTM?a Gasser will go bar to bar with anyone in a fair straight out race.While the KTM will sneak one past the start line while your fiddling with your fuel cock.

when i ride the 450, the entire next week is spent repairing or some odd maint.. when i ride the 300 it is a clean up and look at it for a week....

have had my 300 2 years, nothing more than normal maint at all... it is like an anvil....

Often swap bikes with a mate who's got a wr450,actually really enjoy it for a few km's.Great on sandy hill climbs.

Given the state of all the posts by us nu zeelanderz one would think that people from this end of the planet are a bit odd....
