We held a discussion on Vintage Days and Paul said we will have a 20’ x 30’

equipment there in Al Martins trailer. Thursday will be set-up day and
Connie/Ted will be handling the sign-in book again. Scott will have a supply
of MC5 caps and shirts available and John Borer will be making a sign with

100 more of the DVDs of the KTM day at the museum last August as well as
making some more tags to put on display bikes. John, Alan and Doug will be
deciding if and how to number volumes of our C.D.s. John will also bring a
projector and screen to show DVDs on Sat. night. Alan says we will have
dinner around 5 or 5:30 p.m. and the meeting will follow. Some one stated
that Adam Giddings will be contesting 4 classes in the MX on Penton

whole new MX track as well as a track for minis and quads.
Under old business, it was reported that more DVDs were sold and that we
received a couple donations.
Under new business, Paul gave out flyers for the BSA Owners Groups 25th
annual rally and stated that they have a very nice reliability run on Sat.
Dane, Al, and the Borers told about a very long but interesting auction sale
at the late John Cobb’s residence as Mrs. Cobb is moving back to N.
Carolina. Doug said that Teddy Landers has been sending him pictures of our
banner at various Vintage races. A discussion was held concerning giving our
Penton banners to Vintage Class Champions (AHRMA). They would have to be
riding a Penton, including Wassell or a vintage KTM and must be an active
POG member and there would be a limit of 1 banner per person. With the above
stipulations, Paul Busick made a motion to give a banner to each class
champion with it being retroactive to 2005 and for the banners to be given
at Vintage Days the following year. The motion was seconded by D. Leimbach
and all were in favor of the motion. For “Topic of Discussion”, Bill Smith
showed several slides and Bill told the story of how he progressed from a
mini-bike to riding Pentons. The meeting ended at 9:50 p.m. and the next
meeting will be at Mid-Ohio and there will be no Aug. meeting.
