Having been at the 50th this past weekend leaves one remembering all the cool stuff witnessed over those two days. I've thought a lot about how all this came to pass, what had to happen, things that had to fall just right. Inside the KTM headquarters in the foyer there was a stainless solhouette of John on his bike. The inscription at the bottom read: John Penton, First Person to Believe in KTM. You know, that pretty much sums it up.
