Title: Derek Martin and Kenny Roberts

From the mailbox [8D]

"Mr. Roberts was signing autographs this year at the Austin Texas MotoGP and I happened to have the Penton Short Tracker shirt in my saddlebags.
He lit up when he saw the shirt and was glad to say he helped in developing that bike. I didn't take up much of his time as the line was very long. Thought this might be a good
photograph for the POG archives."
Regards,
Derek

That shirt has started many conversations at bike events and I always pack it to wear for a trip day or wear directly to one day events. These conversations always start with a big smile and a "I had a Penton back in the day...." Or "My brother had a Penton...". I was lucky to be in the right place at right time that day though.
