Title: Ghost Cycles
Post by: Ghostcycler on May 06, 2008, 10:19:10 PM
Does anybody remember Ghost Cycles from Port Washington,Long Island New York?Both Sonny Defeo and Barry Higgins have ties to John Penton as well as Brad Lackey.I'm from Lake Ronkonkoma (30 miles east) of Port Washington and trampled all over the island with my father Hank.We used Bultaco's CZ's and ofcourse a few Pentons.I do not know Sonny or Barry personally but I firmly believe that I rode with them somewhere at some point or at least friends of theirs...This ties me to not only Higgins and Lackey but more importantly John Penton.You gotta beleive...Ghost
