Nice article Paul! Another great story on the history of these bikes. Thanks!
For those of you that don't subscribe to the magazine (why not????) Paul did a great article on what he found in a box given to him from John.
Subscriptions highly recommended. Kurt covers a wide spectrum of topics. Great writeup on Preston Petty by Paul Stannard and Paul Danik is page 22 :)

Skiracer,
Thanks for the kind words. I have been very blessed to have been involved in a number of interesting, and at times wild and crazy interactions with John Penton over the years. In the telling of some of them, I hope to provide a window into the life and times of Mr. John Penton and also provide a few backstories of the Penton Sportcycle. Thanks also to Dale Fisher for providing the link to the article and to Kurt for printing it in Trail Rider. When kurt saw the piece elsewhere and asked if he could use it I told him I would be honored if he did so, and I certainly am.
Paul
Now I gotta go back and read the story again Paul
dam senior moments!
