Title: 1973 Jackpiner
Post by: Dobber on September 18, 2007, 08:40:17 PM
I regret that I am selling my Penton.[V]:( It is for a good cause though, to help pay for medicine for my mother. My father & I bought the bike in 1994 & restored it in 1995. My father rode it once up at the sam houston national forest & other wise it was just idled around. The bike went into storage in late 1995 & I got it out in 2005 & cleaned it up again & got it running again. since then it sat again for 2 more years until last weekend when I got the call for help for my mom. I cleaned it up & put some fuel in it & it started about the 5th kick. The bike always has started with no problems. The frame numbers show it is a july 1973 & the engine numbers show as a 1972. It is the 175 KTM engine. we couldn't find anyone with fenders when we restored it so we put a set of preston petty fenders on it. The tank is green. I've been told it is an mx tank. so we painted the other parts green to match. I don't really know what to ask for it the nada was something like $2800 so I figure I guess i'll ask for $2000 I took the bike to an old school mxers meet 2 years ago. I have pictures but don't know how to put them on here. Thanks for any replies Shaun
