Entry form for the 10th Leroy Winters Memorial ISDT Reunion Ride is now available on the Missouri Mudders website, //www.momudders.com. The ISDTRR is Oct 27-29 in Park Hills, MO, about an hour south of St. Louis. You won't find more of your off-road heroes in one place at the same time anywhere else during the year...plus the riding's great, too! Like they used to say on Hawaii Five-O...Be there, aloha!

I thought I would bring this post back to the top since people are begining to make plans to attend. I hope this helps.

I'm hoping to stop by the reunion ride on my way home from visiting my mother in Georgia. This will be very exciting for me not only to take in the event including meeting all of you that attend, but since I grew up in Farmington which is about 5 miles from the park. I rode my first six day in that area 35+ years ago, long before it was a recreation area. The only thing better would be to ride, but to get my bike from California and back with my schedule etc. appears not to be in the cards this year. Hope to see you all.
Mike Horton
I as well am hoping to stop by on my way to Peoria. I will not be able to ride due to recent heart issues but wow a chance to meet my Hero's? Are you kidding. Thanks for the information.

Thanks for the reminder. It will be great to visit some and look at great old bikes.

Just spoke with Ron Ribolzi and he says entries are low at the moment. I feel everyone is dragging their feet on sending them in. This is a MUST DO event. You will not want to miss another if you attend. The Thursday afternoon / night Open House at Dave Munganast's Museum will be a moving Tribute to Dave and his memory. Please attend if possible.
Please send in your entries and get your friends to do so also. The club needs to plan the Banquet and put the entries in order for numbering. Can't wait to see everyone there.
GETTING EXCITED,

Dwight don't get to excited and get all worn out before we start. We need you , Dave Crain and Greg Holder to anchor our Hodaka Trophy team. All of us Hodaka guys are going to enjoy riding with our Penton brothers in a few weeks. See you there !
Paul
I look forward to this race every year. I can't wait!!! What could be more fun than trail riding with your buddies and then getting to whip it up at little every now and then.
Teddy
Dwight,
I'm there for sure and have enlisted three others who are first-timers.

GREAT !
This event is so much fun. I believe we have 4 riders or so coming from Canada, 1 from South Afrika, and 1 from Germany for sure.
Many former ISDT and ISDE riders.
A great opportunity to ride your vintage Penton Enduro bike without destroying it.
FUN FUN FUN,

It will be EPIC !

Entry form is printed, will be sent in the next day or two.
Berkie is mostly ready, just need to shake her down a bit and check all the nuts and bolts and the float setting. There will not be a repeat of last year's Friday festivities.....
I know of at least two other area guys who are about as advanced in planning an prep as I am who will be there. So chalk up three more from N. Texas.
Tony
How many POG members are going WITH their Penton motorcycles ? I know of several of us that will be riding OTHER brands this year. I plan on putting together a PENTON Trophy Team next year. I have been riding my Hodaka Combat Wombat the past couple years. It has been great fun. The Hodaka's are so neat. BUT, I feel the need to ride my Penton Jackpiner next year. I haven't ridden a Jackpiner since Fall of 1974. I got a Penton SIX DAY 125 just in time for the Gobbler Getter National of 1974.
One year I would like to put together a STEEL TANKER Team for the ISDTR, that would Honor not only John Penton & Tom Penton but Our brethren missing in action, LeRoy Winters and Dave Munganast.

Was trying to have a 74 Jackpiner ready, but looks like it won't be done. Unless the penton fairys show up at night and put it all together. Work and life keep getting in the way of progress.
Will be riding 77' Maico 400GS, at lease it's German.
Paul(socal)
Dwight,
I really like your idea of a Steel Tanker team. I am taking delivery of a disasembled project bike next week and that may be a great use of that machine.
I talked to Jack today and he will be attending along with JP. Chad and I are planning on riding and maybe Brett will be with us.
I asked Hodaka Paul to equip those Hodies with horns so that we will hear you guys coming up on us, at my age I hate surprises:)
I hope to see and meet all of you guys at this great event.
Paul
Hi all,
I like the idea of a Steeltanker team also. My brother Bob and I rode ours Steeltankers together at Zink in 2004 and it was a blast !! The highlight of our weekend was pulling into the the first checkpoint on Sunday and there stands John Penton. We promptly rode over there and got him to sign our tanks. Man was that cool !! I planned to retire the bike after the 2004 RR but had to ride it again at the 2005 RR in New Blaine because my primary bike had an ignition failure just after I pulled away from the starting line. Was having a great ride on the Steeltanker again last year until the back sprocket hub bearings went south causing it to throw the chain and damage the rear wheel. That ended my weekend a bit early but still had a great time anyway. I might be persuaded to take my bike out of retirement if needed. I'd try my best to keep up with you fast guys so let me know. See you in a few weeks in Park Hills !!
Dave McCullough
The Tulsa contingent of Jackpiners is ready to put on a riding clinic in Park Hill later this month :D

Guys,Be sure to stop by and see my good friend Dave Burst at the Mungenast Museum and tell him i said Hi!.They are working very hard to have a wonderful display of great vintage bikes.I may have to quit my ultra high paying,low stress job as a service manager at a Honda dealer so i can go to the ISDTRR.Sometimes you gotta just say what the.....heck,right?If i can talk Dave out of something to ride when i get there,i may show up.Good Luck to all riding,Ric

You guys haven't changed the secret Hodaka handshake on me have you? (after a few years of me riding a KTM, and the 2004 ISDTRR in Tulsa when my KTM rode me!)
Maybe you and your "Band of Brothers" will see fit to let me share your campfire and tell a story or two of our epic battle at Mid-Ohio seeing as I will be picking up a Hodaka Dave (Rozier) built Ace 100A at this years Reunion Ride?

I don't understand why everyone doesn't do what I do?? Each year I plan my vacation time which always includes days off for the ISDT Reunion Ride. When the host club sends out the entry forms I bet my entry is one of the first ten they receive. Yes, the event is THAT good. Seeing all your friends and riding with your heros plus seeing all the exquisite vintage machinery is too good to procrastinate.
Phil

Sounds like a great event. Does you're bike need to be street legal or have any off road stickers?
Thanks,
Chuck
Chuck,
It really depends upon the club that is hosting the event but generally speaking, NO! It merely needs to look legal and of course be a vintage bike (unless you're a ISDT/E veteran). Sometimes connector roads are used to connect the trail segments together so to be *legal* in the eyes of the law you should have insurance, registration, headlight/taillight, horn, license plate, as well as your drivers license on your person. Stating this in the requirements apparently keeps the sponsoring club out of legal hot water I think. But the reality is that registration is NOT checked, nor are there checks of working lights/horn or drivers license. You simply make your motorcycle appear to be street legal in the eyes of the law during the event (I've never seen a LEO while at any of the four ISDTRR's I've ridden in). I've seen people scan a headlight lens, then laminate it and tape it inside their headlight mask. I've seen several laminated license plates that are affixed to their rear fender which is what I will do this year also.
The spirit of the event is to honor those who have participated for the glory of the USA in ISDT/E events as they are indeed Olympic-caliber athletes who ride on two-wheels, and also to ride vintage enduro machines, many of which are really well-prepared/clean examples of their marque. It is truly the best event of the year in my opinion, with Mid-Ohio's Vintage Motorcycle Days coming in a rather distant second (and I LOVE VMD too).
Phil
Anyone from California or Arizona driving out with room for one bike?????Will share exspenses of course.If so please let me know.Thanks,Ric----never mind.found a bike in indiana need to get it from there to st louis.Help!!!!!!!

At Park Hills you won't have to have all that stuff. Bolt any headlight and tailight on and enter. You will be good to go and will have the ride and time of your life.

Lots of guys in the Vinduro camp still signing up.
The Missouri Mudders are having Dave Mungenast Memorial Stickers made.
Pre Entry ends Oct.15 with riders numbers posted by Oct. 20th. so the riders can get their numbers.
The open house at Dave's Museum on Thursday night should be a moving event.
I can't wait !
It's going to be EPIC!

Was looking at the supplemental rules and it says must have license plate..........so what you are saying is that if I just pulled the plate off my old GoldWing and bolted that on the Penton, it would be good to go?
Charlie T,
All you need is a license plate;).

Hi All,I got a bike to ride in ISDTRR but may need help getting it to either the museum in St. Louis where my friend Dave Burstworks,or to the event.Anyone going past Newburgh,Indiana on the way there?I can assist with fuel money and be indebted for life (i'm already in debt for life anyway!).I think i have its ride home covered-Big THANKS to brother Ron Carbaugh!It's not a Penton,but a nice little blue Hercules gs125 7 speed,but please don't hold that against me.Actually it looks to be a good little bike with some tidying up.Speedy even approved of it-although its not up to his specification yet.Any help with its transport to the event would be super.Would love to finally be able to make it to one of these and meet many of you,ride,and maybe a cold beverage after.Cheers-Thanks,Ric
ric emmal
Ric,
I live 115 miles Northwest of Newburgh, which would be backtracking, but could pick the bike up for you a day or two before leaving for the RR if no one is actually going past there. I will have plenty of room for it and even a couple more if there is any more needing transportation. I plan on going early on Thursday morning to do some trail riding with Phast Phil before heading back to the museum Thursday evening. Call or email me with the address if you need any help.

Ron,
Thanks for your great effort! I unfortuantely will be working out of town Monday and possibly not returning until Tuesday night, so I am right now painting my 74 1/2 175 engine that is fresh from Gary's shop to install it in the 125 chassis after I made sure the 125 exhaust pipe and engine would fit in the chassis for my backup bike. The 125 engine can be installed after the RR. I don't want to press my luck, especially if the gaskets take longer than anticipated to make. Mike

Gol durn it!! Finally got the "boss" Ok to go, was going to order the tires today and came into work and went to request the time off. There are two of us that cover about 75 inpatients here on this unit at this VA. We cover for each other as far as taking time off and only one of us can be off at a time. Guess what......I had forgotten my partner is off duty at the end of the month...including two of the three days I would need to be off to make this event. Oh well.
Ric,
Have you had any luck finding someone travelling through the Newburgh area on the way to pick up your bike? Let me know if you need me to go get it.
