Awesome work! This episode is a great watch. John comes across as very honest and sincere. Love this. More please!

Great video! Did a 15 year stint on Gas Gas, 2000 to 2015, must of been lucky with the 2002 pro as did SSDT 1st year pro came out with no issues at all. Great to hear Shirty’s point of view, will always be the heart & soul of Gas Gas in the UK. Looking forward to the next podcast

Great video as always. Had 4 GG's. Last one was 2000. One thing you'll learn, is that you'll need to have like a three year supply of riding pants. Nothing gets hotter than that big curled exhaust header. That thing gets scorching hot, and will melt through a pair of riding pants in a nano-second. Worst Trials bike burn I ever saw was a GG with a young lady who fell over and got her leg trapped beneath that pipe. Right down to the meat! Ugh. That said, I'm still riding a Beta, but when I do get the hankering for a new bike, it'll "probably" be a GG. Keep up the good work.

Thanks again for the great content and details! Concerning the brake tip, this was the first thing I noticed on mine. Looking closer at the foot lever, I noticed that the stop screw didn’t line up with the frame stop. I bent it out away from the bike to line up better and now the brake is much more reachable and comfortable to use.

l sell GG, Sherco, BETA, EM, TRS and Montesa at one shop in the USA. You just summed up the US trials market perfectly. They get forced on every GG dealership, even though 99% of the dealers in the US have no clue about trials or a customer for that bike so they end up selling them for no profit thus de-valuing the brand and the market. Going to be a rough ride ahead for some of the brands that don't have a enduro or street bike to sell as well.

The original pro nearly sent them bust, they went for a staple classic to a bike that didn’t work. Yeh it was the lightest bike but it had major issues, over heating, a clutch that was an off on switch , absolutely horrendous build quality and the over look was something of a kids painting. 2 years on it became a weapon and it is now .
