Thanks Louie. For all of his faults, Pennington was a remarkable character.

That excellent tandem photo, I believe, was taken in England. By 1896 Pennington was over there mesmerizing the Brits with his amazing inventions and their impossible possibilities. The best of all in my opinion being "The Motor Cycle."

I updated and posted my article online that gives credit to Pennington and his warped genius. Also defines the words "motocycle"/"motorcycle", describes early two-wheeled steam velocipedes, gasoline motorcycle origins, etc.

Pennington is slowly gaining for the credit that is due him, but it is a long uphill battle. He was a unique character and no mistake.
