So you buying the Elsie and Hare Scrambler? Just trying to evaluate.
Love the NE shops as Snoops and Hogans.

OEM clutch cable from a single-cam Honda CB750 was the hot setup to ease the clutch pull on the Penton/KTM. Worked great on my MC5 but juuuuuust barely fit, actually had to stretch a little before the action was right.

Nope. I spent 2 months locked up at Great Lakes for Navy Boot Camp, but never got to leave the base until I flew to Pensacola for photo school.

Got that right Mike. He sure was. I see they have a 1986 CR500 for sale. No where near as clean.

The 125 Elsinore and the Penton are on Craigslist RI now. Guess Terry wants to sell.
