Hey Folks. I'm looking forward to another great Vintage Days. I purchased two bikes via an estate buyer, and will be bringing them to sell. 1- Berkshire, 1 - Jackpiner.  Both are runners. I may have room for a project JP, but not sure if I will have the space. I had started a thread under "Penton talk" about ID help on these two, so please take a look there for more info and pics. Feel free to contact me with questions. I am in VA, just east of Roanoke. Thanks!

Hey Folks. I have been working on my barn project and several other bikes. Time is flying by! I will be able to go over these two bikes enough to ensure they run and roll. I have ridden the Berkie around the yard. I started the JP and ran it through the gears while tilted - them ran out of fuel.  I will be bringing both of these to VMD to sell, and possible one more if I can squeeze it into the trailer. I will also bring 3 good running Hondas w/titles: 1970 ct90, 1974 cl125, 1974 xl125 Beauty Queen. I will list these all on The FB "What are you bringing to vmd" listing in a few days, but wanted to preview to the pog first. Would prefer to sell within the group. Prices higher on FB $2900 for Berkie, $3400 for Jackpiner. Lower for POG. I will take them to the pavilion on Saturday morning if not sold prior. Please contact me for more info. 5408158411 Rob. I will have booth 422 this year. My Texas friends cannot make it this year. Will cross post to the for sale section. Looking forward to another VMD!

Hi Paul. I plan on bringing 3 Pentons, as well as 3 other brands. I have booth 422 this year, and always have the issue of selling vs hanging out with fellow Poggers. It is a decent distance between my booth and the pavilion, but I can ride one of my other bikes over as needed. Questions: will there be any security at night (I have cables), will I be able to have for sale signage on the bikes, and does anyone know of transport help for one poor roller/non-roller?.lol. I will post my for sale bikes in just a bit
 I will list them here first, and prior to FB.

Thanks for all you do.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate your feedback. I will check the engine number when I stop by the warehouse. I've been working on a nice barn/shop. Can't wait to get all my stuff in one place! lol

Thanks Kevin. Whomever had the bikes did some mods to each. I will send a pic of the JP number. That is what confused me. But I'm easily confused these days. haha.

At least I did a search and figured out how to post a pic:)

right side

Well, it looks like I am able to send a couple of lower data pics. Will keep trying.

Thank you. I don't know how to post pics. How about you send a text to my number posted above? I will send pics that way if ok. I really appreciate your advice.

I had forgotten about the sidestand bit. Berkie is a 72.

Hi Kevin. Thanks for the quick response. The JP has a couple of different parts that made me unsure if it was pieced together. May I sent you a couple of pics?

Hi Folks. I thought that I could identify all my Pentons, but could use some help here. I recently picked up two, and have a couple of questions. I did refer to the guides here. The first bike is a Berkshire, with a 21159...
Assuming a November 1972 date, is it a 72 or 73?

The other bike is a Jackpiner with pre 76 attributes. The frame number has me questioning my noggin though. It reads 54 60690...

I am thinking 74.5 to 75 model. I am reading it wrong as a June 06 date?  All help is appreciated. I do have pics to send individually, as I can't seem to get the hang of posting them here. I don't know much about their history (estate sale). It does look like JP signed one tank in 2011. Both are runners. I do plan on bringing them to sell on my annual trip to VMD.

Thanks in advance!

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:)
