Thomas, I think Ron should sponsor you to race it.

Lew,
When I was a kid coming through school that was my dream to have a "factory" ride,the best I got was a parts discount at the local Penton dealer.Now I am to fat and to old to go fast!!A brother of mine says it best "My mine say's GO and my body say's Whoa"
I can say one thing though,riding for my brother Ron would be like a facory ride I am sure!!

I can attest to the "sweetness" of that bike. I have extensive pics of it from when I visited Ron last year. If I could afford it, I would buy it and have Bob Wardlow race it, which is the goal I have set for mine if I can ever manage to find the $$$ and CORRECT Vintage parts to complete it. Who ever manages to adopt this exceptional piece of Penton history should be proud! Mike

Thomas,
you're never too old to go fast and you're not too fat, you just get better traction.[8D] Sponsored by RonCarbaughRacing has a ring to it.
Lew Mayer
Lew,
I have never had a problem with traction!:D
RonCarbaughRacing ....RCR...isn't that in NASCAR also?
Michael,
I bet Bob could turn it loose!!He has the perfect body for it also,sorta like Jim Rice of old,am I right?I don't know how tall Jim was because I was a kid back then and didn't pay a whole lot attention to details.

I know have better pictures of the KRP Flattracker that I have sent out to the people that have requested them.
Bob,
I know we need to copy the pipe before I release the bike. I do not have a contact emai for Don. If you would let him know it is for sale I would appreciate it very much.
Ron Carbaugh
Hey, is there any way I can talk you into sending me a couple pics to dalejr04@carolina.rr.com ? Been at a lot of flat track races and have never seen one. I would say these Kenny Roberts bikes are rarer than the 250 HD's. Hope to see it raced someday. I'd sure get a kick outta seein a Penton leading a half mile. Thanks, Paul
Paul,
Pictures on the way. I hope you enjoy them.
Ron Carbaugh
OK I may have jumped the gun on selling this bike. Seems the person who wants to buy it doesn't want me to copy the pipe. I had promised that I would get this original pipe copied by Circle F before I sold it. So the bike is off the market until I find out when and if Circle F can fit the project into their schedule. I will start another post after I visit with them on a time schedule. Stay tuned.
Ron Carbaugh
I know that once I get my KRP project started I will need a pipe, and if it weren't for the thoughtfullness of people like you Ron, that would not be possible. Thanks, Mike

Mike,
It is actually people like you that keep me so happy working with Pentons and helping others. I couldn't believe that someone wouldn't loan me the pipe and hold back $2000.00 on the bike?? I just want to be sure people like you have the parts avaliable to comple a very historic bike like the KRP. After all it is fun and the Penton people are the best. BTW what was the frame # on your KRP?
Ron Carbaugh
I believe it is #37, at least according to the email when I agreed to buy it. I am working away from home until Thursday evening, but I will double check it when I get home. I am taking several bike chassis parts and a 78 MC5 roller to Mid-Ohio to sell if I can get a last minute swap meet space to help fund the process of obtaining parts for it. I would like to move ahead with the project in a timely fashion. Mike

Mike,
I agree with trying to get the KRP done since it will be the cornor stone for Penton collections in the years ahead.
Ron Carbaugh
Yeah, I need to get back to my goal of 1 of each model from 74-80 250 large finned KTM engined bikes, with a couple 175's and 400's thrown in for good measure. Since I have aquired several 76-77-78 MC5 chassis, I think it would be prudent to thin the herd somewhat. Mike
