2007 Ec 200 Update

[BILLYBURNS]

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to give an update on my bike set-up.

I have change the gearing to 12-52.
added a rekluse clutch
LTR power valve cover and everything else that Les makes
leaned out the jetting, pilot and main 1 size down
LTR suspension valving with stock rear spring.

Well the bike is awesome! Everyone has been asking to tell the truth and so hear you go.

My GasGas is better in the rocks than my KTM and I never thought that I would be making that statement. At last weeks enduro I was lucky enough to ride 1/2 of the day with my good friend Brooks Hamilton (the reigning New England Enduro Champ) and even he couldn't believe just how good the bike went through the rocks. Did I mention that he is the KTM rep for the east coast regional area! For him to say just how good the bike looked in the rocks, that is a major compliment to GasGas. Well I ended up 3rd overall which was better than even I expected and it was the first time that I had ever ridden the GasGas in New England. Heck it was the first time that I had ever ridden that bike...race day only!

My national bike is set up the same exact way with the exception of jetting changes and 12-50 gearing. I finished 4th in the E-2 class at the NJ Qualifier 17th overall and 1st in Texas at Rd #4 of the national enduro series 28th overall. The more that I ride the bike, the better that I feel on it. The GasGas has so much more mid and top end than my KTM had that I can change the gearing and still have plenty of power in both areas. I am hoping for really good things this year and I believe that I can achieve everything with a GasGas under me. Go-fasters has been a big help and have given me a chance to show them what I have left at 40 yrs young. My teammate Jim Senecal has been awesome to race and travel with. I have been surrounded by great people like Robby,Girard, Curt, and Rich on the National Series and all of my regular supporters, Gary,Pete,Chris, Brian and our new dealer Ron "RED" Brundridge from DIRT WORLD CYCLES. I couldn't ask for a better opportunity then what I have now. Oh yea I forgot to thank my sweetheart, Ann, who stays home and keeps my daughter entertained while I'm off traveling around the country chasing my dream!
