For Chicagojerry-

Thanks guys for your responses/leads.  It is sold.

I apologize for my oversight.....my name is Larry Hubbard

As stated above price would be helpful.

Yes, it is the same.  I'm asking $1000.00 which I believe is a fair price.  Ron....I think we may have a common friend in Alan Johncock at the Lone Star M-C museum.  I'm a lifetime member and thought I saw your name on the lsit as well.

So there's no interest in a running Jackpiner on this list?  Where do Poggers go(other than "e"-bay) to purchase their Pentons these days if not here?  I mean,there were only so many produced and so few still exist.

How's about a '74 Jackpiner 175 MX?

Folks-I gotta hand it to ya'-this is the longest running post I've seen since the sale of Penton T shirts.  All of the discourse has been valid which set this into motion...it's good to know people feel passionate enough to voice their opinion as this is what the forum is all about..bringing us together.  I wasn't aware there were such world class riders in here and personally salute those of you who have made careers of such skill.  My hats off to those of you who have voice'd their opinion...It would be a privelege to meet you one and all![8D]

re:Cappy-have had both of those marques, guess it's time to round up the "usual suspects!  Oh yeah-and Moto-Guzzi:D

No disrespect intended....most people in the US are what I call "asleep" or so called "sheeple", willing to be told what to do and led around by more dominant people.  When I say "funny" I mean left of center which in my opinion is a good thing, I tend to be that way myself, again, with the many makes and marques(Japanese,etc.)of motorcycles to ride/race only a few have the balls to ride a lesser known marque in vintage racing.

No-it was "funny" as previously stated. The heated debate here proves that![:I] Some have overpaid and some have underpaid but the ability to debate over a motorcycle whose production numbers were small yet cherished to the point that folks get "heated" up over a common descriptive is definately "funny"!

WOW-Cool-I didn't intend this to be a "hot topic" but the file is flaming....shows we're all alive and kickin':D

Re: Donny-this is where the "funny" comes in.  What is a fuel tank...a vessel to hold fuel-correct?  If the tank is the same size,shape and is proper then why would that constitute a "non" original and lessen the value.  Other posts have stated that some of the tanks of that year have a different gel coat, so........now YOU funny too!:D Responses welcome-I have band aids for feet that get stepped on.

OK-so everyone has a "bent"on this..I still don't understand why a running Jackpiner with fresh fork rebuild,new shocks,new tires,new chain,new cables in good running condition won't sell for more than $800.00.  As for the so called Six Day tank if you gentlemen strip the blue paint off your Jackpiners you'll find green gel coat underneath.  That doesn't make it unoriginal, maybe I should paint it blue again so it will seem original?  As far as the "funny" goes
how do so many who ride a non common bike made for a few years get the impression that funny is a blasphemy?  No insult intended but I assume some was taken.

Ron-I personally didn't mean to offend you...did I mention your name in the post? So don't take it so personal, BTW all I said was Penton owners were a funny bunch, that is my opinion! I have tried to sell a Jackpiner MX on this website 3 times for a reasonable price(I think) and have been haggled with on more occasions than I care to mention.  Maybe I chose the wrong forum but correct me if this is not a forum about Pentons for Pentons.  My "e"-mail address is attached so why must I give you my personal identity-that's my privelege if I chose not to do so. Did I step on your toes?
