This bike was the only bike I ever owned that I could not out ride.  Maybe it was my getting older but it sure was a thrill to ride that bike.  Now I'm getting sentimental.

I have set an asking price of $1800

Just testing the waters, make an offer.

 

Penton 250 Hare Scrambler.
Frame: 550 02912
Engine: 6-54 11297.
The bike was modified for MX with Fox Shox, Lectron Carb, Sun Metal Rims, SuperTrap Exhaust, Preston Petty fenders and ignition cover etc. I am perhaps the third owner of this bike and parked it 20 years ago in a friends pole barn, after finishing last (not the bikes fault) in an Enduro in Port Huron Michigan. The friend is a mechanic and has cranked it over periodically for the time it has been in his possession.

I got the bug recently to ride dirt again and went and picked it up and brought it home. I knew it was going to require work and was surprised it still had good compression, I guess cranking it over all these years made a difference. I took these pictures showing the bike and spares before beginning the clean up.

Now if someone wants this before I begin, let it be known. Once I start it may be too late and expensive for you to purchase.
