Hey Guys, I dug up a old picture album of our Penton Shop in Anaheim, CA. and some racing photos.

I'll try to find some time this week to post them. I sure many of you will appreciate them.

Ric, cool days. I remember one time Rocket Rex doing the last lap infield section with his chick on the back.

Davee, I think my 57 ranchero(my first go to race vehicle)knew its way to corona from palm springs by heart.We used to come up for the flattrack racing as well as mx and the grand prix's too,and yeah i've been by there a couple years ago and seen the "Staten Downhill" still there from the 91 freeway.Remember Rex doing standing on the seat wheelies down that hill?I do have a titled 72 125 6 days coming from california but i don't know yet if it's been street registered,and lites and signals would have to be added for sure.I'll let you know.Later, Ric

Yes, every Thursday Night. If you drive west on the 91 you can still see the one down hill next to the freeway. Our shop was called "Collins & Son" What a blast. I'm now racing D.H. & road bicycles, but looking forward to owning an old Penton or KTM.

Hey guys, I just logged into this site. My name's David (Davee Collins). I grew up in my Dad's Penton shop in Anaheim, CA. in the 70's. I'm looking for a California Steet legal Penton. Any out there?
