I'm not sure about everyone else, but I've had some good luck on Friday the 13th.
At 15 and on my first licensed motorcycle, I was broadsided by a car and ended up in the front lawn of a church with only raspberries and bruises.
Then 20 yrs ago, I proposed to my wife, who has put up with me since then.
And just yesterday, I picked up a 72 Six Day from an old friend who I hadn't seen in 25 yrs. He was the only other person from back then that I even knew had a Penton, and he let me take it home so my little Berkshire wouldn't be lonely anymore! Man, it doesn't get any better than this!!!

I used to ride with the guy who used to own this Penton, and I flat tracked that baby in the open class one night on a 3/8 mile banked track named Charleston Speedway which I didn't finish last! But you pay the price when you get behind that open class roost in a T-shirt. This is the same speedway I was almost killed when I was riding a 76 125 and high sided and busted my spleen and broke my right femur, 7 weeks in the hospital and 2 months in a body cast. I , I , I, me, me, me I will shut up now, it's just Bobby is opening up some old doors!Glad to see that another Penton is SAVED!!

Thanks Speedy. All I need now is my numbers for the lottery to hit on Friday the 13th!!

TC, Man I just got off the crane at Columbus St. I carried my laptop in, 'cause I won't get off work till midnite probably. With all the extras Ralph had in the shed, it was a real score. I almost feel a little guilty, but he wanted it to go to someone who would do it right. His mom was ready to do a 2 for 1 sale with the Honda so she could get it gone.

That must be your lucky day!

I was just wondering, how does you wife feel about this Friday the 13'th?

JOKE!!!

Actually Dirt Bike,
She thinks it's OK. She had a little yam-a-hama way back when, and now she's looking at having fun again. She reminds me often that I bought a depth finder for the boat on one of her birthdays! I think it's going to be all right.

I could have used one of those depth finders while riding enduros down there in those southern swamps [B)].... now I know why you guys did so well through the water ..... and now I know why you are called the Swamp Fox!

dirtbike

I did something like that once too!
I bought her a CD-ROM player for the computer on her birthday :-)
I still hear about it now and then even though it must be
some 10 years ago now.
It seemed like a good idea at the time though[:I]

Hey Bobby, Now you can ride the 125 and she can ride the 100cc, this tactic could help when ordering parts from Al!!!
