Hi Guys
Thanks for all the kind words re: Moto Retro. (Especially you, Ted!
Hope you've all gotten a chance to see a copy. And for those who've subscribed, thanks!
I, too, have heard Cycle News is kaput, which is a shame. Of course, its absence may open up opportunities for someone else.
Hope y'all are having a great summer...
Best,
Mitch

Thanks, guys, for the kind words!

I spoke to JP and Jack in Vegas and we all agreed I need to get to Ohio for the story.

When I gave JP a copy of the magazine during the concours, he held on to it and wouldn't give it back. I had more copies in my van, so I let him have it. It was pretty funny

Anyway, hope you're all keeping warm. Talk soon,

Mitch

Hi Guys

Just a short note to tell you all that I sold the '75 250 yesterday to Victor Monz, who looks healthy as a horse, btw. (Go Vic!

Best of luck to everyone in '06.

Regards,

Mitch @ Motorcyclist

Victor

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Guys

Thanks for the advice, and the story idea! (I'll think about it for Dirt Rider.)

What I need to know from someone who's unbiased (aka not interested in buying it) is what it's basically worth (barring any huge unseen engine problem, which I don't think it has). I mean, is it a $250 bike, or a $500 bike, or more? I honestly haven't a clue. I'm not trying to make big bucks on it, but I'd hate to sell if for $250 if it's worth twice that. Anyway, any help you guys could provide would be appreciated.

Best regads,

Hi Folks

I'm pretty clueless about the ins and outs of Penton machinery (which is bad cause I grew up racing mx in northern Ohio in the '70s and lived just 12 miles from the Pentons!), but I've somehow become the owner of a fairly ratty 250 Enduro. It's probably more parts bike than restoration candidate, but that'll be for you to decide. I gave the POG Webmaster the frame numbers and he confimed it's a '75 model. The frame number is 54 507 85662.

A gentleman - and POG member - named Ted has the pix and info too; he's apparently trying to see if he knows anyone who's interested. But I thought I'd toss the hook out in the forum to see if I get any bites. The bike is in Los Angeles.

Thanks much!
