Hey, How about the cover shot on the new Vintage Views. Could it be our boy Brob??? Great pic!!!
I wondered who that rough and ready looking charecter might be! Spotted the Penton printed logo right away and haven't seen anyone else currently selling that design. Also the Portland, MI race venue, the Mint400 bike and the look of grim determination. Way to go,Bob, rob, robert, bawb,baub,The Man with a Plan,(KR/Special). An excellent photo, suitable for framing! Couldn't happen to a better guy. Funny how he got all muddy so we couldn't read his # plates, #504 on the helmet didn't help any. Dan
1975 250 Cross Country, 1974 175 Jackpiner, 1975 125
Dan,
That #504 sticker was probably from 1975.
Way to go "Air Bob"!!!!!

Hello,where can I buy a copy or subscrib to Vintage Views? Thanks for any help, Crash Carden- GO TEAM PENTON! [8D] Oh Randy do you have any Penton calenders left? If you do I will get a check out to you ASAP. Thanks Crash.
Crash,
I have one. I'll put your name on it.
That Brob thing, also serves to remind...Just about when I was to leave for S. Dakota, to see a piece of America, suddenly there was this kind voice, on the tele....It was the best voice, for I was feeling a bit LOW @ the time, Thanks Baub!!! Tom
Wow, I'm on the cover of V.V.? Get out!.......I have'nt received my copy yet. Thanks guys, I can't wait to see it.
It's probably best for me to learn this way, if I had opened that envelope and found myself on the cover without any warning, I may have peed my pants.
Days like in that picture is what it's all about for me, the Penton, the ride, and the friends. Those AHRMA events provide that pretty well. I hope to make it happen more often this year.
#504 on the helmet was from the '03 'Reunion Ride' in Mass.
Dan, "The man with the plan" has a plan....and the plan has the name Dan at the top.
Hi Randy and Tom and Teddy and Crash, Happy New Year! Maybe I'll see that mag today.
Hope to see some of you at next months meeting.
(((Bob)))
Does anyone have the link to the Vintage View's magazine web site?
Thanks
Vintage Views is the AHRMA newsletter. http://ahrma.org/
All I can say about that is wow. Had'nt imagined seeing myself on a cover. It's striking, I'm honored.
I better start practicing and get fast so I can uphold my stardom.

Thanks guys,
Bob
Rob,there's your good luck charm. It worked for me last year. Good Luck this year.
Lew Mayer
Lew's right Bob, the year I made the cover on my Penton I won a national title. I havn't got my issue yet, maybe today.

Bob,
Just saw your picture for the first time. Congratulations! What a great shot. Now, if the bike were only a little more colorful instead of just "black and white".
When I saw the magazine in BJ's office, on JP's desk, I took a look at it and exclaimed, "Wow, a Penton on the cover of Vintage Views. I wonder who it is?" and started to open the magazine to the title page, to see who it was. Bj then told me that even the magazine didn't know. I took another look at the picture and thought that it looked like you. When I saw that it was at Portland, I figured I made the right choice.
Dane
Ya'hey Dane, is'nt that cool, thanks very much.
AHRMA made me colorless when they took away my yellow plates.
When I get my sponsorship from "Penton Imports", I will adorn it with your colorful stickers.
:D
thanks
Bob
Rosemary ALWAYS gets to read Vintage Views before I do. So as soon as I got home from work she asked if I knew who was on the cover since Matt Benson at AHRMA didn't know. I knew immediately it was you Bob, so I immediately emailed Matt and told him who it was. The next day at work I checked the POG site and found this discussion.
I love Black, Silver and White!!!!

Rob,
When I called Mr. Penton to tell him about Toni and Gary's wedding plans he asked me if I had seen the Penton on the cover of Vintage Views, I told him that I had, he than asked if I know who it was, I told him it was you and he was quite pleased. Rob, you were noticed by THE MAN!!!!!! I'll bet if he builds another Cycle Liner you'll be allowed to use it.:D I told him it's just like the old days, having a Penton on the cover of a national magazine and he agreed!
Congratulations.
Paul
Paul,
Mr. Penton talking about me?....that's a picture I had'nt imagined. But it proves to me again what an extraordinary group this is to be a part of. The support of the POG has made many of my fondess wishes come true, it's hard to express all the wonderous moments I've enjoyed since the day I joined the POG and jumped back on a Penton.
Oh, I've got to run...I'll be back, Bob
