The grave-yard shift eh?

[tmc3c]

Should be getting the motor back from Kip Kern next week, and then on to the next step of finding someone to reglass the tank and repaint side covers also, what is going on with you?

Penton-wise, I need to rebuild the trans. on my rider, a 75 400.

Hello everyone.....  
You had a good idea Rob.  However, it seems like traffic has been a little slow on the site.  Must be everyone is out doing the last minute shopping thing....  Unfortunately, I need to rush off.  It is way past my bedtime and I have to go to work tomorrow.  Hope you will try this again another time.    Happy Holidays to all!!!!

Did you ride Penton's back in the 70's?

[tmc3c]

Lynn, I was hoping to meet you in Mass. but never did. Did you enjoy yourself?

[tmc3c]

Yes I used to flat track ,motorcross and scramble 125's. I had steel tankers both 100cc and 125cc, man I wish I still had them!! it's easy when DAD pay's the bill.
