    Halls truely is a great place to deal with.....

    My buddy is in charge of dealer development for Gasser.... He's got his personal 2 2014 EC300s for sale for $5500 each.... seriously considering.... waiting to ride first... the 09 EC300 I had I like the motor and the clutch action was much better than any KTM but the ergonomics were made for short people

    Still don't think I've seen a GG in person yet, even saw a TM lol. Congrats on the new bike, they look amazing. I actually just saw an ad for them in dirt bike magazine. Prices look great even at msrp :)

    I rode Bills new GG300, it was very good. Liked the bike a lot, motor was excellent, bike felt good. Did not love the fork and the seat was very hard.

    Many do and I have actually seen a few posts where people liked the GG seat. I could buy that bike and be quite happy with it I'm sure.

    So stoked, already ordered hand guards, a upgraded silencer, and backup air filter. Also found that my 50 tooth Husky rear sprocket bolts right up to replace the 48 tooth that comes OEM.

    VERY cool. I just noticed on FB that Rich put his 2014 TE300 up for sale. Sounds like he's got a 2015 on the way.

    Hmmm gas gas....
    After toying with the idea of going thumper I have reverted back to the Smokey side (current ride: WR250) and am tossing up between '14 husky te300, husaberg te300 or a ripping deal I can get on an ex demo '15 300 exc.
    Any advice? Aside from the linkage rear end any other key points? Have heard husaberg and husky got different cylinder porting.
    Not wanting to throw oil on the fire here but from previous experience PDS can be made to handle exceptionally well for my type of riding if you put the wrench time and patience into setting it up.

    Moving around on the the seat is very important to my riding ...Sitting in one spot is not the way I go fast on a bike or keep it balanced ... I did put a new seat cover from here (~$3 and ~$2 to have it installed, maybe $7 total?) and it made the seat feel a little better; I realize I'm on a dirt bike so I'm ok with the seat. I'm ok with my GFs' personal seat also ..She is still 100% in business and not gone belly-up. With that said, she is ok with her belly button upwards. I'm Ok with that belly-upward button also ...

    Good luck Mr. 95Jersy on that new Husky ... You might have to search for it, but Husqvarna is now sitting on the cusp of dominating MX \ trail riding, the same as SP has guided KTM to do in recent yrs... Some of the winners might be riding your bike ... I use seat time to make my bike perform better ....

    Why no Sherco on your list of possibilities? I'm hearing lots of good things about them. I will likely be getting either a new TE300 or the Sherco, the latter of which I have not seen or ridden yet only heard tons of good things about.
