Title: Happy Birthday to John Penton
Post by: Paul Danik on August 19, 2011, 05:54:59 PM
On August 19th 1925, John Penton was born. Today JP reached 86 years of age. As much as I truly appreciate the Penton motorcycle and knowing the Penton family, I am just as grateful for the fact that they have brought all of us together.

   Happy Birthday John, and may you have many more.

I've been a huge John Penton, and Penton motorcycle fan for nearly 40 years.
Getting to know Mr. Penton these past 10 years with the POG, has truly been a pleasure, and an honor. They are times I'll always remember, and enjoy.
Happy Birthday Mr. Penton

Only in America do these things happen, I digress. Viewing one video............
 An entry way, to the Penton Farm..

Round stones, to cover the wells, and what is hidden, deep within the wells?
Pride..............
Can-not be replaced!


Life, is good on a "Penton"
