I am trying to post the pictures here, but they didn't come out.  They are still on the site.  Anyway, after a long long ordeal with Larry Perkins not building my motor (9 months) good member Dennis Jones offered me on of his motors built by Gary Ellis.  I plan to run a few enduros this fall.  I did a complete tear down, and rebuild on the motor, frame, suspension, and wheels.  I have about 15 hours on the bike, and have made a few more additions which include a computer, and a chart roll.  I will post the final product soon.  I wanted to thank everyone that offered help over the past 10 months in helping me redo my bike.  It runs as well as it did the day I took it out of the crate!  Again, thanks you everyone!

James,
Your bike looks great !! I hope you are planning to ride it at the ISDT Reunion Ride this year. The entry forms are available for download at tulsatrailriders.com , ahrma.org and also through a couple different threads on the POG site. Let me know if you can't find the form.

Dave,

I would love to attend the ISDT Reunion Ride event, however, I live in NY, and that is a long trip for me.  Thanks for the compliment on my bike.  It runs better than it looks, as most Pentons do!
