Pretty cool to have my "White Weapon" Six Day on the poster !
Guess I'll have to get the Berkie on line for the ride.
Victor 16n
Wish I could get out there with the SoCal Berkie for that.

B. Brian ,
You my friend would have to start backwards also .
Mike
Brian.
I have a spare Six Day....just "arrive and drive" !
(and an "old" red tank and a 97 cc ignition cover) SHHHHH[}:)]
I would enjoy watching a Penton smoke everyone, as I have been sidelined.
Victor
Yeah , Brian , we'll pick you up at the airport , I have a place for you to stay and a ride to the track .
Mike Johnstone
Hmmm...I wonder if I could get my trick 100cc cylinder and 28mm Bing through the TSA search at the airport? :D
Brian

Brian.
Just UPS the cylinder out and we'll have it all set before you arrive OR the following are your ride choices, your skills will do at the Glen Helen REM track.
The Berkie is a stock 49 mm fresh motor and needs about a day to get set up. The "White Weapon" is a hot "D" 125 with a PVL and a 28 Bing , as is the green Six Day.

If your serious, let me know. Just fire me an e-mail and we can work out the details.
I'll even wrench for you.....I learned from the guys at Penton R & D in Lorain back a few years ago, maybe 37 years, plus my friend Marc Biro is the best Sachs guy on the West Coast.

Victor ,
You are a sick man to have a garage that looks that clean .
Mike
It is my living room....I sleep in the garage.
Victor
Darn Sweet rides!! Any of those been on the Smith Road soil in Medina?
Looks like you could eat off that garage floor.
Jeff
Victor,
I really appreciate the bike offer, but there is no way I can get out there. One of these days I'll make it out there for a race, but this year I already have all of my vacation time used up for other races.
Brian
'72 Berkshire
You bet, Brian.
If you ever get the chance, let us know.
Victor
I am bummed I missed this! I thought I saw something about this, but, I figured it was something I stumbled on in the archives and was imagining it.
I was driving home to Chino Hills from Barstow, Sunday morning and went by Glen Helen around 9:30 am.
My bike is almost complete and I wanted to stop by and meet some West Coast POGGER's.
Please post some pics.

I live in Anaheim Hills just down the 71 and have a 1972 6 Day/Berkshire in the garage. Let me know if you need any help finishing up your bike. Greg.
The bike is in Barstow in my Living room. It's almost done. Nothing like the bikes I've seen on this web-site. Thanks for the offer. I want to go to a vintage MX really bad.

See you there...the back of my jersey will have a special message for the rest of the pack [}:)]
Victor
ALERT.
I checked the ARX Site..........THE COMPETITIVE EDGE RACE IS SUNDAY THE 13TH....NOT THE 6TH.
Please confirm. Let's double check.
Victor
Victor ,
You caught it the same time I did , It is the 13 th of Sept.
Now don't blow any gaskets trying to fend off the Honda's .
Mike
Victor, very glad to see you riding again. I will see you at Competitive Edge on the 13th. I will bring the MC5. The weather forecast, if you can believe them, says 80 degrees and showers. (? in September, in the dessert????) Oh well, we will just wait and see. See you next week. Unfortunately I can't make the Bar-B-Que. I have 12 hours of continuing education I have to take on Saturday, 7am to 7:30pm up in Oxnard.
Lloyd
I look forward to seeing you Lloyd. We'll get a picture to post here for the POGERs with Marty.
Mike, I guess you were probably right the first time, Sept 6th as you Honda guys will probably need a week head start to catch the "Mighty Penton Berkshire" [:p]!
Hope to see you all.
Victor
Touche'
Victor,Your neighborhood looks familiar to me.Any chance it's near Academy drive?I used to live on that street.Anyway,your bike looks great!

My bikes not ready, but, I am. I'm gonna ride my BMW GS to the race Sunday. Hopefully I will get to meet some fellow POGGER's there.
The weather has been hot lately, but it should be cooler by this weekend.
See you at the Races.

I'll save my Penton for the cooler months (Elsinore GP if they run it in town). Instead I think I will race my WR250F at at D37 qualifier. A little easier on my old body.
