CC...yes prices have been rising the past 2-3 years due to...of course fuel & insurance costs for them. I rent from Pento every year...2013 will be my 8th year renting from him & he always takes care of me. I always call ahead to reserve bike. Use to rent from Tanka (they're gone) way back in the late 80's thru the 90's when Pento was just a youngster working for them. His place is across from Negril Gardens on the Blvd. 876-412-8607 is his cell #. Tell him Jack from Chicago refered you...can't hurt! Good Luck.
