Default How KTM came to America

One man's vision gave us, in the early 70's, the Holy Grail of dirt bikes.

Before Bultacos, Montessas, CZ's, Monarchs, Maicos and Husky's. Not to mention the odd Rickman, CCM or Puch.

Hope everyone can see this

The Pentons along with Macolm Smith and Preston Petty were the first Americans to go over and compete in the ISDT. It was a steep learning curve and they got beat up a lot. Especially by the Czech team.

Still trying to find a screening.

Who's old enough to know how to modify your Jawa 250?
