No it is not over. Trials world no. 1 manufacturer will not die just like that. Brand name and models will survive. There is number of suitable manufacturing facilities around in Girona so there is no need to purchase the whole shebang.

Would like to hear from Rod Overstreet on whats really going on.
Straight up.
His Dad usually has an opinion about things also?

Not calling anybody out here, just wanna hear whats going on.
If youve been following this closely for awhile now and you read back through previous threads or remember the details of those conversations then an explaination is deff on the line here.

I've heard Elka shocks twice now. I hope everything pulls through. I love my 2014 200 and hope my next bike can be a GG too.

I have confidence that GasGas will not die like this. We have a farmer in town who has filed bankruptcy 2x now, and he is easily the largest farmer in 200 miles. He had to spend a little time in jail, but none the less he is back bigger than ever. I think they need to have a GasGas 300 Phoenix edition, from the ashes. Kinda lame idea but I know one forum member who would be interested.

Mark Berg gave response and gave clear description of state of affairs.

Anything more is just muck raking. Isn't it?

The company is on the verge of being dissolved which greatly impacts all the forum members who ride and support Gas Gas, so being able to freely discuss that on a Gas Gas forum should not be frowned upon or shut down. Sure the conversation will get heated because this is a major issue for all of us, who have many thousands of dollars invested in these machines.

Wasnt my intention.

Does one work with or for the other?
Do you have a clear picture and are confident in the picture that had been painted for us?
Does it resemble the prior picture.
Just saying.

Has been painted is what I meant.

This is the time to be 100% upfront about what is happening.
Optimism is a wonderful notion as long as its realistic, and truthful.
People will hold off jumping to another brand if they see a comeback as an option.
But if you bullshit those people at all, one bit especially the way this has unfolded.
Once they are are gone, its gone baby gone.
And alot of Gas Gas riders are fanatical.
Many will feel the same way about the next brand they choose.
Getting them back will not be easy.

Thats what Im saying.
