Condolences...

Rick, thank you for the update. Dave was working hard at his spot, and I hope he will be able to recover soon. I picked up a 77 tank from him. And thank you for swapping shirt sizes for my buddy in VA. I bought L and he needed XL.

I drove to Danville to buy this one, because I feel a need to rescue these great bikes. There is not alot left. But it will hopefully be of use to someone. I will be glad to send pics to you. The airbox and aluminum side cover are good. Forks and tree look good too. Wheels: some parts ok.  8/72 frame. It just needs another home. I will bring it to VMD, along with an 82 Husky 250xc roller, an 87 Husky 250wr runner, and some other bikes; even oddball snowmobile bodywork! lol. I do have a listing on that dreaded FB under the "what are you bringing to VMD". I would prefer to com either by phone or email. 5408158411. VA. $135 will help me with another tank of gas in that motor home:)

I am looking forward to VMD again this year. I will be bringing along a few bits to rehome.

Penton Jackpiner roller (sorta) Aug 72 frame.  A few items on it. Cheap

82 Husqvarna roller 250xc. Almost as cheap

87 Husqvarna 250wr. A buddy's old bike. It was asleep but now awake:) $1600 bo

72 Honda Trail 70. Engine has been gone through w/new cylinder. Runs good, looks good. $$

Yard Man Sno Cub snowmobile bodywork. I don't know why it was in southern VA! Cheap

82 Suzuki FA50. A beauty. Neighbor's bike, original owner w/all paperwork. $?

Pics are available. Send me an email or text to 540eight 1 five 84 one one. I'll see what else the trailer can hold.

Thanks for this great website. Long live the site:)

Yes and Thank you! Now I understand how to get there. And to think that I used to go there without issue. D'oh!  Of course, now I have to look for my keys too...

Really great points. I don't post much, but do check often. I am now retired and have a few Pentons to restore or place. This is a valuable site for information. I feel that Rob has brought up some great ideas. It is my hope we find a workable solution in some way. I will be glad to help monetarily as I can.

On another matter, I have searched but can no longer find the model year and vin numbers information anywhere. Did I miss something?  Could be! Like that old band and song, "Old and in the Way".  I will be at vmd again, and hope to see everyone.

No motor. Can send a pic.

Update: I don't think my forks and clamps will be right for you. It is an older model w/ likely 32 mm forks. I think you have 35 mm.

I could not find the production year guide or serial number listing. Perhaps that won't come up on mobile? I will look on my laptop tonight. I may have missed news about these because I haven't looked in awhile.

I just picked up a sad and forlorn Jackpiner roller - well, semi roller. I will need to look up to see if it fits if you are interested.

This is a long term shed bike. I plan on bringing it up to vmd to see if anyone can use it.

Keep it up, even if dues increase to cover expense. Too much great information to lose, plus I trust this site vs FB.

Has anyone heard from Jake in the last 10 days? I had talked to him about a Husky part. He was going to get back with me, but that was over a week ago. I have been calling, but just get a busy signal. Can't leave a vm either. Just wondering if he is ok.

I hope you are enjoying your ride. It's been a bit cold and very windy. Let's catch up via text: 5408158411. I think we may have a mutual acquaintance in common:)

Lannis, where are you in VA? I am at Smith Mtn Lake.

Udo Geitl lives here at Smith Mountain Lake, VA. He stops by SML Cycles from time to time. I believe he is also into sailboats these days. I did not know he rode Pentons though. Good stuff!

Thanks in advance for all your efforts to keep us going.
