The GG website seems to be business as usual...so I guess they have restructured or whatever it is they needed to do. There's a good dealer network in the UK, so even if the factory shut its doors there would still be a good supply of spares here in the UK for a while...plus I suspect that most consumable parts are common across a number of marques and come from proprietary manufacturers. |

Hope they have kept it going. I think the conversation was around 30 million needed to clear debts. There was also a fanciful but logical idea that KTM would buy it to get a ready made trials bike. We have a Gas Gas dealer opened up near me but it's so low key and useless, it would put me off. |

Only reason I needed the side stand was the previous owner took it off and lost it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Try MotoMerlin in Horsham...very good shop by all accounts but mostly on-line. http://www.motomerlin.co.uk/ |

Sorry been slow posting but I ended up buying it , I have used it a couple of times and can say I'm very happy with it , it pulls really well and does everything I want it too it's also very light and easy to throw about. With regard for parts I have found no problem getting anything , most parts are easily available and gas gas UK and biketech have been very helpful with any advice I have needed |

That dont really matter as most parts are available from aftermarket suppliers anyway and the UK part of the factory said they will continue in one way or another anyway . Probably get bought out by Ktm or the likes . Then there will be even more orange bikes |
