Purchased a 72 JP from the Kirk Sessions collection yesterday. Not everything was for sale but plenty to make it a difficult choice for me. Can't imaging there was a better selection even in a Penton showroom back in the day. The background checks were worth the effort for admission and the armed security guards understandable.  : ). Kirk gives  credit to the POG for my admission and for that I am truely grateful to the group. A very gracious host and enjoyable pick for my first Penton. Much appreciated Kirk and POG.

Thank you Paul for the bracket, unbelievable shape for its age. Enjoyed meeting you and the group at the monthly POG meeting. You guys are great.

Doing well Al hope all is well with you and the family. Good luck on the search. If you get lucky send some scraps my way and I'll do the same. Let me know how the Amherst lead goes.

Victor, I'm 220 pounds so guessing I need a 175 or 250 since I plan to ride a couple hare scrambles per year.  Older the bike the better but anything that says Penton on the tank I'd consider. Like the Jackpiner's and gravitate towards bikes with lights.  I like them in original looking condition, necessary upgrades for performance okay, carb, shocks etc as long as the integrity of the original look is maintained as much as possible. Doesn't need to be museum quality but clean. My budget will be dictated by the opportunity as long as it's a fair deal. I'm somewhat mechanical but have yet to turn a wrench on a Penton so if there's recommendations on the most reliable models I'd like to hear recommendations. Title would be a plus. Not in a hurry but would like to have one before Vintage Days this summer. Anyone considering selling should know I'll provide a good home. Denis in this post provided a strong option but I'd like to explore as many as I can before pulling the trigger. If you have something for me to look at let me know.

Kirk,
 Shopping around for my first Penton, if I'm following this strand correctly you have a barn full. What's the chances I could visit to look around with cash in hand. Only a couple hours from you.  Drawn towards enduro's with lights and appreciate them as stock as possible but open to year and model beyond that. Ready to ride condition my preference but again flexible. Kind regards, Sammie. (740)507-4109.

Thx for the quick response Denis and good talking to you. Look forward to seeing the pics.

If I could figure out how to post a picture I would.

Not for me but interesting.

Attended my first meeting last night and joined as an official member of the Penton Owners Group. Sitting in this room full of legends, historians and enthusiast one could have easily felt intimidated but from the start the group could not have made me feel any more welcomed. No pretentious BS just a bunch of guys and gals passionate about  everything Penton. Had to pinch myself a couple times with the man John Penton and family sitting across from me. If you haven't made a meeting put it on your bucket list. Thank you POG for taking me in and sharing what you've built and preserved.
Respectfully,

Penton Honda in Amherst was my local bike shop growing up
and I'd like to own an original license plate bracket from the shop
if anyone has one to part with.

Grew up in Amherst OH, got my first bike from Penton Honda (Honda SL70). Still appreciate the vintage stuff riding a 76 Honda Elsinore MR 250 at Vintage Days. Time to own a piece of history native to my home town. Looking for a fair deal, anything with lights in good running condition and can assure you it will go to a good home.  Live in central Ohio and paying cash if you have a piece of history to pass onto a new member. Much respect to the group.
Best,
Sammie
