Holy Cow, Paul sure did the issue justice, outstanding report on the Penton brand, anniversary weekend, and a lot of machine history. Get em while there hot folks at //www.trailrider.com or call 800-426-4214. Let's help this fantastic magazine out and keep it from becoming extinct!
You beat me to the draw, Kip. My Trail Rider arrived yesterday and it is truly a POG collectors issue. Picture of Bob McCullough on his Steel Tanker graces the full front cover. Super Hunky has a story about butting heads with Mr. P...hilarious! Six page spread of the 40th anniversary celebration with many familiar faces in the pictures. Story on how Mr. P developed the Penton sport cycle by Ed Youngblood. Special Pentons article by Ted Guthrie covering some of the prototype and "one-off's" developed as Mr. P searched for the perfect off-road machine. Penton "timeline" by Bill Smith and other POG members covering the changes year by year on the Penton line-up. Easily two-thirds of the issue is pure Penton. Grab one at your local dealer or get one from Paul Clipper at Trail Rider. Easily the best issue of Trail Rider I've ever held in my paws.
