Got crook on Saturday but I had been looking forward to this event and really didn’t want to miss it so I went anyway. It was a struggle but still managed to have plenty of fun. If you enjoy watching someone grovel hard terrain on a dirt bike then this might give you a laugh.

Sucker for punishment alright. Would have been good viewing. lucky in that creek
Good man keeping the revs where 300's shine...down low:thumbs:
Bring the GasGas down for the forum get together and get some training in on some more forgiving terrain;)
Where/when is the get together? This one is a 250 which still does well grunting down lowQuote:

I'll refresh the Upcoming events thread this Saturday, to let people know its just 3 more Saturdays away.
Cool video, very impressed with that bikes ability down low and not foul a plug, and the electric start! Looks the business
Yep, the Euro bike manufacturers have left the Japs in their wake regarding 2 stroke performance. My 300 2 stroke hasn't had a plug changed in three years and it spends the lions share of its life at sub 3000rpm, grinding along single track or in hunting mode in steep country. And I still don't think there's a single Jap 2 stroke with an electric leg. 4 stroke yes, but 2 stroke no.
Jap 2 stroke technology is languishing back in the 20th century. As one punter put it " I don't know why they haven't updated their bikes since the 1990's, but check out those bold new graphics!!!" :omg:
Yup the modern fuel injected European 2-strokes are damn good. This one is Transfer Port Injection so it has seperate oil injection that ups or drops the flow based on throttle position so it runs extremely efficiently.Quote:
