You're officially getting old when you make a speed reference involving a minivan! -- Nate

Any updates?

I wonder how the "hardcore" biker crowd is welcoming an imported bike?

[paggy-sue]

Well, I spoke with Ivor today in Sturgis....the weather is still hot and they're just kicking back at the JPM booth at Buffalo Chips. The guy in the booth behind them does painting so he had "Johnny Pag" painted on the tank. How cool is that.. The weather there is still hot, although the wind has died down. No rain since they got there just  a bit of hail early on. Country music every night... (just like our house)... last night they went to see The Zack Brown concert. Ivor said that is was a good show.  So far no visitors from this site, a couple of guys thought they might drop in....go and take the bikes for a test drive......I wished we could have planned our vacation differently this year or else we would be there too......next year we take our bikes to Ivor....we're going work...then we ride a couple of days in beauiful Virginia....I can hardly wait. I will get the stats from the dyno and post them soon.....LEAVE NO VET BEHIND .......Sue

[Ivor ( Johnny Pag USA)]

Ha Ya ll i finely got a stable internet contion so thouhgt i would up load some pictures while i had a chance. Bikes came in with no logos so we have the vendor behind us paint Johnny Pag on the tank of two of the bikes for us. Malibu has been received well even in a place as hardcore as the Buffalo Chip. 1810 miles were traveled getting here, we ran all interstate giving us a chance to really but the bike thought its paces. I maintained 70-75 mph on most of the trip. Top speed on the bike is between 82 and 84 mph. I did hover get the bike up to 90 a couple times but that was going down hill  . It handled well the whole trip even maintained 80mph for about 70 miles straight with no problems.
Some work still needs to be done to the bike mainly the drive chain that is on it now had to be adjusted 3 times total on the trip with the last when we arrived. Spedo is fairly akrit only a few off according to our camper any way, odometer appears to be off and it is in KM insted of MPH.  Have talked to Johnny and he assures me that he will be changing chain manufactures immediately. So he is listing.

William, bikes look good. will you be home the week of the 20th? I need to get some parts as I will be in the area that week and would love to get a chance to take a spin on the Malibu to compare it to my Prostreet.

be safe and keep the rubber side down.

Great job gentlemen!  Thanks for furthering the JP brand.  The bikes look fantastic, and glad to see they were well received!

[ACD_Bill]

Really wish I could have been there!

I just got back from Sturgis and the bikes do look great.  The brothers were awesome and they even let me ride the bike around the camp ground. It shifts really nice and for me very comfortable. The detailing on the bikes is real good, the only thing I would change would be the chain guard as it looks kind of cheap.  It say a lot about a bike that you can hop on a 350cc motorcycle and drive it all the way to Sturgis and the only issue was having to adjust the chain.
