Title: Wanted, 72 poster
Post by: rob w on August 13, 2002, 12:38:42 AM
At one time I owned a Penton poster I got from my local shop. It showed all three bikes from the "72" line. (from the front) They were side by side, with their front wheels turned a little. The poster was about 20" wide by 24" high. They were all MX models. I don't remember what else it said on it. I would give someone $40 for one in o.k. condition. Thanks alot. Bob.

I can relate, at one time I had dreams of finding my original 73 125.

Well I've been looking and waiting - it's now been 8 full years.
John and Tom Penton personally gave me a poster like this in 1973.
You don't know how much it meant to me to find another one.
Finally one appeared last week on Ebay - you bet I was determined to own it.
I bid $ 414.99 last night, and won it for $152.50
I am so happy. Bob

Very cool, Bob. I wanted a 1972 brouchere and found one on Ebay for a reasonable price after months of hunting. This is a good buy I will trade you for a CUBS WORLD CHAMPS poster. It is very old.
