Hi Tom, I glad that you enjoyed the article that Ted del Solar submitted to me for the POG newsletter. I could only print the photos that Ted sent me. When I was at the ISDT Reunion Ride, Bob Andersohn showed me some photos that he took of this year's Colorado 500. One of the photos showed a trail that consisted of nothing but big rocks. I asked Bob about the rocks in the photo and he told me that that particular section of trail was like that for 3 miles of riding. On hearing that, I have nothing but high regards for Ted and his riding skills.

Tom, since you live in that area of the country, what can you tell us about riding a vintage bike up and through the mountains like Ted did.

Ted - thank you for sharing your story with us.

One of the neat things about his article, is the way he introduces a prelude...."Face your Fears, Live Your Dreams"

In retrospect, adding his age and the age of his motorcycle and the altitude of the passes that he rode thru, I come up with a number something like 50110!
 All of this in 5 days. How are the trails in Colorado? are they vintage friendly?
Most of the stuff he rode on, can be done, but it began with a dream.

Thanks for the article.

I am totally pissed-off. Perhaps a moment to discover the vows, and the value of a "Penton"
He took a "Penton" to places I have never been.........
there is music.
behind a Penton, a story..........

the "Penton Campfire"
burns long

"into the night"
