Bill Cappel

His 3rd place finish in the 125 class at the 1973 Hangtown GP on his Cliff White Moto Products Penton 125 was his high mark. He still sleeps with his trophy. In 2004 he found AHRMA and dedicated himself to realizing his spiritual ambition of being a lifetime novice. However, his aspirations were dealt a staggering blow early on. Bill is faster than Ryan. When he regularly and convincingly kept beating Dirk "The 165 Pound Wonder" Williams, Marty "The Dog Whisperer" Karadinas, and Ryan " The Wheelman" Wheeler, he was bumped up to intermediate and thus ruining his dreams of eternal greatness. Bill is faster than Fred. Now well embedded in a path of mediocrity, he is living proof that if you set your goals low enough you are sure to achieve them. Oh, was it mentioned that Bill is faster than both Wachter Brothers?

John Cappel

His passion lays in cross country and is in charge of developing the cross country component of our MX weekends. John knows he's faster than Eric and Fred. He doesn’t cook and is a crummy hooch bitch. But he's the best mechanic and very detailed oriented so he makes the cut. John wants to beat Bill at Hangtown. John's claim to fame is his Mammoth Mountain ride in 1973 on his CZ Falta 250. He still sleeps with his trophy also.

Dirk Williams

At this rate he might be an over-achiever and is in jeopardy of losing his PGM membership. He thinks he's faster than Fred and Eric. But since he is our only non drinker, our sole designated driver, he's a safe bet to continue as our enforcer. Finally as the youngest member, the sveltest member and the only one who can keep us out of the pokey, he is a God and a valued addition.

Ron Carbaugh

Growing up in Texas he was slow. He used to beat Bill. His early riding experience fostered a love of Pentons which to this day he hasn’t shaken. He knows how to find all 12 neutrals. He was a paratropper so making dumb decisions like leaving a flying airplane come naturally. His nickname "first turn" was given him because he was always first to the first turn. If he wasn’t, you did not want to be ahead of him as you wouldn’t be for long. He taught Tom "The Bike Destroyer" Benolkin how to use the berms like the boards in hockey. But after the first turn things changed, Dirk would have beaten him. Now retired to Kerville, Texas and helping the team he has reached the pinnacle of self fulfillment. His only regret was he wasn’t able to beat Ryan. You will see Ron at every reunion ride and is making the rest of his Guanos tow the standard he has set.

Tom "WFO" Benolkin

Now settling down up North he has an irrigation business. The 2008 year has Tom involved with mentoring young riders with his Moto Cases endeavor. He will teach them the finer techniques of MX etiquette like block passing and brake checking like he is teaching his Guano team mates. Not known for his drinking and story telling; this is one guano who when push comes to shove can hold his own even there. He has repeatedly told his fellow guanos not to drink and ride, as every time he does it he spills his drink. Ron would love to be as fast as Tom. Willing to help a team mate or anyone else in any way he can Tom is a valued addition to the Guano roster.

John Kovalcik

Now with a new knee he will try and beat Dirk to the chow line this year. The sandbagging intermediate that he is lives in Phoenix but can be convinced to go anywhere as long as it doesn’t involve flying. He is the only pelican scared to fly, go figure a pelican that doesn’t fly he would make a better penguin. John knows he can beat Ron. You can be sure of one constant. That being if John is at a race none of his team mates will ever DNF for mechanical reasons.

Terry Gates

You can usually find Terrys rig at the races as he sports a large pink neon flamingo (he thinks it is cool). He ain't much of a cook. But you should see Terry in a food fight. He sucks as a mechanic. But he is never far from the beer. If he weren't a fast expert and usually wins at least one national title we would have put him on waivers. Terry on his worst day can beat Ron. Between his Ossa collection and his Pentons, Terry is always looking to get a bike that can shift. He is also the only Guano to compete on the road race circuit. But next time you are in the south at an AHRMA race just look for the biggest smile and cold brew in someones hand and you have found Terry. Terry on his best day will never beat Tom. But come Sunday morning bring on the eggs and grits, and know Terry will be ready. Hangover or not.

David Gulickson

David races only vintage but next year might bring out another day for him as we are trying to get him to ride the PV circuit as well. He will have to ride over his head to beat John. Yes, old number 13r is a hopeless vintage addict. David swears he will only mount a Husky, so we are trying to train one for him. You can always tell him at the races as he is the one with that big smile across his face getting ready for his next moto.

Ryan "Wheels" Wheeler

Whether he is pounding his meat to make it tender, or riding his bikes he takes life seriously. His camp site looks like a rescue mission at the races as he feeds everyone that comes by. We need to get him hitched up with a minister to do the prayer service before feedings. Ryan tries to beat Dirk. You can always count on one thing - Ryan will drive from Idaho anywhere as long as it is for a full weekend and have the biggest shrimps and the best steaks for his friends. Ryan has bought his membership into PGM.

Cliff "The Wizard" White

Spending a career making motorcycles fly for the likes of McGrath, Carmichael, Bailey and many other he has started to realized what he had at the beginning. Sure its easy to have bikes win with the talent he has had over the years at Husqvarna and America Honda. But to have your bikes win with the cappel boys on them; well shit that is f---ing amazing. He might even be able to make a bike fast enough for Ryan to win. Damned if you see Dirk win the open class on a 100, then you know Cliff has been breathing on that engine. Whether it is a CZ "a communist chain saw" or a Husqvarna "lucky the Swedes made pretty girls because they made ugly bikes", Cliff is never at a loss for an opinion. We know where his true talents lie turning mediocre riders like us into true champions. We just hope he figures that out soon so we can be competitive. David would like to win.

Bill "Billy" Sekulich

Any way, this reclusive Guano has spent the bulk of his life collecting his first love - vintage dirt bikes. He knew one day he might be able to race John (to the jiffy Johnny). His idea of a pit bike is a 1974 Butaco 250 Pursang engine in a mini-bike chassis. Billy is fast enough to beat Ryan to the buffet. Hell it takes a rodeo clown to get him away from the buffet line. But rumor has it that his fellow guanos have embarrassed him into coming out of retirement and making a come back to the MX circuit. Dirk is working on his mouth to mouth technique. When asked about personal information like his wedding date he says "I brought my wife of course". Billy may not be the biggest Guano, or the best looking guano, or the fastest guano but then he has 800 bikes. Do you?
