Title: Finished Jackpiner 175 sold for 250 Harescrambler
Post by: Rob Thatcher on February 02, 2013, 09:25:46 AM
Last February, I bought a pile of parts alleging to be a 1972 175 Jackpiner from POG Prez Paul Danik.  I learned a lot about the brand, the motorcycle and the people.  I had a lot of help from the forum, Chicago Jerry, Al Buehner and others.  Here are a couple of pictures of the completed bike.

I will be seeing you at the races, selected AHRMA and AMA motocross and cross country races, planning on the Berkshire ride, too.
