Title: 1973 Berkshire
Post by: Ronkeys on February 12, 2001, 03:31:43 PM
I have a 1973 Penton 100 Berkshire I'm restoring.  I don't have any pictures of what the bike looks like when new.  If anyone has any pictures of a new or a restored 1973 100 Berkshire could you email me your pictures please.  Mail to
Thanks very much

Scott:
All I recieved was a repeat of my own ad.  Do you have any pictures of the 1973 100 Berkshire? If so I'd greatly appreciate seeing them.

Ron:
I'm up in Ottawa and oddly enough have been a Penton fan for many years (odd because of course they were never generally available in Canada). But, notwithstanding, I have a good collection of literature, including the brochure for the '73 Pentons. I think that I may already have a colour copy of that one here in fact.

So, if you will get back to me with your address (at "[email protected]") I would be happy to fire that into the mail early next week.

I have raced a 250 Penton in AHRMA events for the last 5 years, and last year finished restoring my '72 Jackpiner, which I've had since I was 16. If you have any questions or I can be of assistance with anything else let me know.

I look forward to hearing from you.
Mike.

ron sorry about the repeat massage.
Im just getting used to this thing.
Yes I just restored my 1973 Berkshire 100.
I will track down a digital camera, and
get some shots for you. Its set up for
motocross, with the hi-point plastic fenders.
I'll get on it soon and get them to you.
I'll tell you more about the bike when I send the pictures.Good luck Scott

Scott:
Thanks much.  All I have is the bike and since I never rode a Penton and never paid much attention to them I don't know too much about exactly what they looked like.  I rode for Yamaha, CZ, Husky, and finally with CanAm before I retired from motocross in 1974.  If you were at the 1973 6Days in the Berkshires you would have noticed me on what looked to be a stock 360 Yamaha Enduro.  I think my Yamaha was the only one to finish the event.  Thanks for making your picture available to me.  Please send them to
