Old School bikes
 

Anyone into vintage dirtbikes? I've been playing with my old Penton 400 Cross Country. It handles like a refrigerator but man, it's got some motor! :D

Not dirt, but I got a 1969 Triumph 500 T100C. In pieces right now but will look good by spring! Going with the old bobber look.

I actually had a Rickman 125 when I was kid, it had fiberglass fenders and side plates, aluminum gas tank, and a Zundapp motor. Broke all the time and I was the king of cobbling it back together!!!

My mom was good friends with aprofessional painter in our neighborhood and he painted a picture of me and the bike. I know, pretty corny but what the hey.... its pretty accurate!!!

Re: Old School bikes
 

Had a Rickman 125 I bought new in early 70's I guess. Upgraded to the Rickman 250,Montessa powered as I recall. Friend stiil has it. Then I bought a Bultaco 250 Pursang.Loaned it to a buddy about 25 years ago,lost track of it,the friend died. Was told a few weeks ago it's in a barn somewhere,trying to find a relative that will let me get it back. Would be a nice restoration project after all these years

Re: Old School bikes
 

Plenty in Vermont...

You have to look passed the small bunch of tree hungers and burned out lawyers from Boston and New-York that monopolize the news. You'll see plenty of red-necks here.

Re: Old School bikes

Bike was a tank and holding it up through the trails kept you in shape
