What a great candidate to build a Penda. Donnie Emler and Dave Miller got FMF noticed in the early days doing hot rod conversions on Euro 125's. The most popular were the Monda which was a 125 Elsinore engine in a Monark and the Penda which was a 125 Penton/KTM fitted with a 125 Elsinore engine. Below is a portion of an interview Siege did with Racer X publisher Scott Wallenberg http://www.siegecraftnw.com/Int-Wallenberg2.htm (http://www.siegecraftnw.com/Int-Wallenberg2.htm)...........
]WALLENBERG: the other thing was that working at FMF at the time building pipes was a guy by the name of Dave Miller. And Dave Miller was also a top racer - a SoCal Racer and a pipe builder. And he was making weird one-off bikes. He would put a Honda engine in a Penton Frame- a Penda. He had this other one called a Hondakasaki- he took a Hodaka and a Kawasaki.... he made these weird things- because Dave was just a really brilliant fabricator- so we commissioned him to build a Monda for me for 1975. And so he took the basic fame parts from the Marty Smith Monark and laid down the shocks and did a few other things and made it work for a Honda Engine...
