Great video...I was 17 in 1975 when my brother bought a Penton Mint 400. I had a Puch 175 at the time, and my brother got my started in East Coast Enduros. I read everything I could on the ISDT's and remember reading an article on Carl, it might have been in Cycle magazine. It seems at the time of the article Carl was riding a Mint 400. When my brother moved away, his Mint 400 stayed at my Mom's house. The temptation was too great...I had to take it out and pretend I was Carl Cranke! Godspeed Carl.

Carl was a great tuner. His shop Cycle Speed sponsored Lackey in his early days. He also made bitchen down pipes for side pipe Cz's that we bought in the day. Really bummed when I heard he'd passed. This is a nice tribute. Thanks. God speed Carl Cranke...
