Past Biker Testimonials:

"I invented the first motorcycle because my old horse couldn't climb up the mountain to Horse Pens 40. I figured that by using a steam engine, I can even get some fuel while I am there."   

Sylvester Howard (Goat) Roper -- 1867

-----------------------------------------------------------

"I invented the first real gas-powered motorcycle just so I could ride it to Horse Pens 40 and go camping. I made it out of wood so it would float because it is a long wet ride from Germany." 

Gottlieb (G.D. biker #1) Daimler -- 1885

------------------------------------------------------

"I designed our new Indian motorcycle to have plenty of power so I could be the first to Horse Pens 40 and get the best campsite." 

George (Big Chief) Hendee  -- 1902

-----------------------------------------------------

"I designed our new V-twin engine just so I could beat Hendee up the mountain to Horse Pens 40. He is always trying to get my favorite campsite, and I am just plain tired of it." 

William (just plain Bill) Harley -- 1909

------------------------------------------------------

"Old bikers never die, but when it goes down, sometimes they just can't get it up again. At Horse Pens 40, the newbies get lots of practice !!" 

                    Maj. Payne N. (Big Kahone) Diaz -                                    Old biker, soldier, and war hero -- 1943 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

One thing is for sure, history lives on at Horse Pens 40 !!

See You SOON !!!
