Rob,
    Thanks for taking this idea to the next level.  Let me know when they're ready.......I'll take a few.
By the way, my original jersey was made by Champion.  Do you think a soccer jersey would work?  Teddy, any ideas?  GO PENTON!

Rob and Dave, I've had jerseys made up by a friend with a printing business before.  The choices aren't real big, but for the price you can't beat a long sleave t-shirt.  You can get any color shirt and then silk screen from there.  We used a light gray shirt with yellow and blue ink last time.  My friend puts names and numbers on the back.  I can't remember the exact price, but we only made up a dozen and they were less than $20.  I'm not sure about copyrighting, but I know he can scan any image and put in any color.  I'd be willing to help on this, are we interested in long sleeve cotton T's?

Bob, I'd like a few, also.  Keep us posted.

I would like a green w/yellow letters, XL.  Do you have a phone number, I would like to give you a call.
You can reply back to rodney.gorzny@equistarchem.com

Hey Rob, I don't want to be a thorn but would you see if they could make some orange for us that have orange 250s , Metro also does not offer orange, so I had to go with black with yellow letters... Thanks

Thomas Carmichael

I will purchase a few also, Rob.  Just give the word on how much, and how to order.  Ted

Yeah, ditto, what OHIOTED said.   Terry

Not a Penton owner, but soon to be one (fingers crossed) I have ridden one..Tomale's MC-5.  Currently ride a '75 XL-250, '78 TT500

Bob,

I would like at least one, green, in a medium. I still have my original one from 1971. It is green with the Penton Crest on one side and the Penton - Built For Champions on the other. I brought it to the ISDTVQ to show to people, but we had too much fun riding and watching movies with Dave Withrow and friends and it stayed in the RV all weekend!!! I'll try to find the time to take a picture of it and post it. Where would be the best place to post it? A Penton soccer jersey would be GREAT!!!! My two favorite sports rolled into one!!! I brought a soccer ball to the ISDTVQ also, but it also stayed in the RV all weekend.

Teddy

Hey Terry,  Those are a couple of really cool old strokers that you've got there.  When your XL250 was produced, was Honda still calling them "Motosports"?  What color is the TT?  I remember back in '75 when the TT500's were first released, a rather well-off friend bought two of them, figuring he'd use one up, then have a fresh one to turn to.  Well, he modified the first one's motor, and added a Dick Mann swingarm, and all kinds of cool stuff, then bought an new '77 - never having ridden the 2nd '75.  He did the same with some YZ's too, although I do not recall which model/year.  This fellow also bought a new-in-the-crate Triumph or BSA 500 four stroke single, back when there were those great close-out deals for like 400 bucks or so.  He brought the bike out ONE time, but found he could not start it.  The thing was gorgeous, with the dual chrome muffler running back off one header pipe.  I've got an old Cycle Rider magazine with a test on the bike.  Ran into this friend a couple years ago and asked what became of all the bikes.  He said, "Oh, I just gave all that stuff away."  I've got an '81 Yamaha SR500 that I picked up for $300.  2600 miles and runs perfect, but rather cruddy cosmetics.  I love the thing.  What a ball to ride.  There are some really cool TT's featured on the websites you would find if you looked under the "Yamaha XS650" sites.  I used to go riding with a fellow in SW Florida who had a '75 TX500.  Did I get that model right?  It was the street legal version of the TT.  Anyway, this fellow is a jeweler, and was all skinny and looked like Don Knotts, but he rode that big stroker like a man possesed.  He would just hold it wide open and go slammin' over palmetto bushes and stuff.  I always wonder how well he would have went if we put him on a YZ on something.  Later.  TED

Hey Ted,  Yeah, my 250 is a black "motosport", My first one (in 1975) was a dark gray one.  Now that I've got the gearing changed (dropped from a 15 down to a 13) I've had a lot more fun on it. (easier to negotiate the twisty, wet trails around here). It's not as quick as Tomale's MC5, though.  He and I have 2 TT's and 1 XT 500's,  One of the TT's is black and silver with silver fenders and goes like singed rabbit.  Thom won both of the motos he's entered with it.  The other is Yellow and siver with yellow fenders and an enduro kit.  It is a little more mild mannered than the other.  The XT is mostly there with some TLC and a little carb work to make it go.  We are probably going to sell the Black TT and the XT to free up a little capital for the Pentons/KTM's  We're hoping to make the ISDTRR'04 with a (soon to be mine Hare Scrambler) and Thom's MC5 with lights on.  That's the plan anyway, it's a long trip from Seattle, but hope to carpool with a coupleof others.  3 weeks ago I road that black TT in the woods  and it really kicked my butt, I rode my XL the next week and it seemed so light and manuverable.  Thom usually has to stop and wait for me, but this time I was always, almost, right behind him with a big grin on my face...yeehaa.

If possible, I would like an XL long sleeve and an XL short sleeve in the green w/yellow letters.  Let me know what I owe.
thanks
Rod

Rob,
If you're ready,     I'll take one XL long sleeve Red/White
                          and one XL short sleeve Red/White
Thanks

Bob, if it's not too late I'd like a green long sleeve in XXL.  How do we pay you?

I'll take two, one longsleeve in green and yellow and one red with white in XXL No I am not quite that big but it will allow for some shrinkage. I like the idea of the orange one too.

Thom Green,I own and ride a 76 250 MC5 MX which I bought new.

Put me down for two in the XXL size long sleeve, and yes I am that BIG!:D Would much rather have green, but red would work. I know, I know, you didn't get that many big sizes made. I'm just putting my name on the list for the next run.
Thanks

You should get setup to take PayPal. That has become the best way to sell and buy stuff off the internet.

Rob, saw the shirts on e-bay. They look great. May I get an XL in green with long sleeves? Rick Shaw

If you are takeing orders I would like two t-shirts in green with yellow letters in size xl if you have them or one short sleeve and one long sleeve if you are running short. thank you ed

Rob would you have an XL in green left?
 JOhn D.

To anyone who hasn't ordered one of these T's - don't wait!! In fact, they're so darn nice that I think Bob should raise the price[:p]. Hopefully everyone who wants one will get their mitts on a shirt, otherwise another production run may be in order, eh Bob?

Anyhoo, great job, Bob and thanks.

I just returned from my trip 2/3 the way across the nation and when I returned home my FANTASTIC Penton shirts were here waiting for me. They are really great quality. Everyone needs to have a hand full of these.

Donny Smith

Bob,

We all appreciate the time and money you've spent to have these shirts made up.  If you consider another batch, line up your orders ahead of time, because a good thing can go bad if you're left with 25 shirts and no more buyers!

Glenn

Bob,

I haven't received my shirt yet. How do I pay for it?

Teddy

Bob,
    I've just sent a money order for $50.00. Keep it......for a great job!  GO PENTON!
             Dave

Rob, I want one too !! Let me know what I need to do!!!

Thomas Carmichael

Hello Bob I received my green Tee Teusday, what a great Tee!, as advertised and then some. My apologies for not answering sooner, had trouble logging on. Will you be making another run in the future? Thanks for all your time and patience in this endeavor. See you at Vintage Days!                Jim

Rob,
 If you need I would be glad to send  some more money for the one we got. Its a great Shirt and you are a blessing.
 On another note. Were you able find a material for the CMF fork stops that would work? We foumd some balck Nylon that looks like it would work and we can get it in short length round stock.
 Thought we would try and make up a set and see how they work.
John & Peter D.

Thanks Rob,
 We found Nylon in black so we though it would do. we will get one stick of it and see how it goes. Useing a mold would be a much faster and better way. No polishing like would have to be done if we turned one. Let me know when you do get the time to make some. Peter and i will get a set each from you.

Rob,
  Why don't you list what you have left to see it we can move them one way or the other:).

Ron Carbaugh

Thank you brother Ron,
Okay, this is all that's remaining-

All are red shirts with white print,

Four) Long-sleeve in XXL

Please email me first so I can hold it, Bwcarebob@aol.com , personal checks are fine.

Thank you all,

Have you hugged your Penton(s) today?

Rob,
  I want the last XL long sleeve.  Give this list a day or so to sink in to the group and just send me what's left with a bill.  Be sure that brings you back to Zero on your money[8D].  I think you have my PO Box.  Thanks for your effort.  I have had the shirts made by the  TeeShirt printers sent to me and they are Not as good as yours.  Thanks Racer Wordlow.

Ron Carbaugh

Rob,
  I'll take mine in Heinz's Red[:o)].
