Not sure what to say?

Elon was a "LEGEND " pure and simple. Ranks right up there with Evel. America needs more of both.

Here some links you can buy a Book full of Photos of bikes and Tractors plus a DVD.

In the 60s one of the german Motorrad calendars had a picture of Michigan Madman Mr.Potter. Smoking the tire and his 8 cylinder bike all sideways,thinking about it puts a smile and now also a tear on my face. R.I.P. you are a TRUE HERO OF MOTORSPORTS! Your GERMAN fan Herbert Jahn

Grew up following E.J @ the Saline & Monroe pulls-What a sad loss. Having been blessed by E.J's teachings-in recent time's, met Pat Somerville(who went to school with E.J.& family)--truly whole hearted & great.
I had the great honor to cross paths with E.J. @ Ithica Burger King for lunch in 2009--What a value of time to have shared!! Thank you, Johnny Cat

Saw him run in NY back in the late 60s. He was truly one of a kind and seeing him perform was something that made a lasting impression. RIP, EJ

never saw you run but always knew who you were you will forever be missed. way ahead of your time GOD BIESS YOY E J POTTER

hell of a man, never be forgotten

I rode EJ's last bike the Widowmaker number 7 for years during the 90s. He was my hero and he always gave me advise on racing the bike that I will always remember. His picture is on my wall as his memory will be in my mine. Leroy J Williams
