Title: Neat KTM ad in AMA magazine

There is a neat ad for KTM in American Motorcyclist with John Penton riding his 125 ISDT, as on the Vintage Days Posters. Nice of KTM to honor their past. -Jeff-

Especially since they don't recognize John Penton in their history story at their website. Perhaps now that he's getting some press they've decided his major contributions to the sport are worth associating with.
This makes me sick.
I also understand they bought Husaburg for their technology which is just business I guess. But they've stolen or copied technology developed by Husquavarna over the years.
I guess corporations will do whatever they can to survive today.
