If you get more traffic in this sub-forum - I can break it up for you into parts, dealers, tech info, etc.
Frankly, I wish you wouldn't "go elsewhere" - this forum meets the needs of the english speaking gasgas community fairly well - with many members from the u.k., new zealand, australia and the u.s. If you break it up you lose the ability to reach "critical mass". One advantage of this site is that it is "not for profit" - actually operates at quite a loss. My reason for spending time here is to help gasgas riders and also help the gasgas dealers. I contribute alot of my own funds to keep it going - e.g. $400-ish a year for advertising to keep it at the top of the search engines, etc. This forum provides visibility for gasgas distributors and dealers at a very very low cost - I suggest a $50 contribution per year for sponsorship. We have gotten very good financial contributions from Gofasters and Claude Giguere this year - but I need to get a little more organized and recruit some sponsors from various geographical regions (u.k./australia/new zealand). Also, compared to "other forums", because we are non-profit, you won't see a "store" where we make money on parts and sell bikes. We don't compete with and hurt your local dealer - we contribute to his health and well being. Some dealers/vendors I have provided sponsorship because they have very graciouisly helped out members here in their efforts to compete in the six days (gnarlyparts & hyde racing as examples). Jeff |

P.S. I forgot to express my thanks to Nick at cycle pro 775 in my comments above. He stepped forward and sponsored Roscoe (senior expert enduro class winner in Washington) and has helped many others here with technical expertise plus more...
Back on the topic of meeting the needs of U.K. riders - I will contact John Shirt of GasGas U.K. to discuss how we can do more here to support the U.K. crowd and the U.K. gasgas dealer network. jeff |

I myself have just bought a 2008' ec 250, which has been quite abused and therefore has needed a bit of money spending on it, i'm sure it would'nt have been as much if I was in the U.S. I think if we could get more traffic in the U.K. forum area this could be a great help, and I will promote it a s much as I can in other U.K. dirtbike forums. But as for parts, maybe the GGRC could help us out? I have bought thing from the U.S. for my old bike from Gofaster via ebay, it would be nice if buying things from U.S. suppliers were a little easyer. Maybe some shipping discounts for GGRC forum users? Thanks, and keep up the good work. I have not time to run a forum anyway |
