Yep, they ruined a restorable Husky. With close to 10 grand in the finished bike, I hope they get stuck with it for a long time

Penton Talk / old dealerships

How's about Honda of Piqua in Piqua, Ohio. Sold Hondas, Pentons, Husqvarnas, Maicos, and for a while BMWs. Stocked parts and had a large mail order business.

Penton Talk / Honda of Piqua
February 27, 2004, 04:39:14 PM
I worked at Honda of Piqua during high school (grad 67) through 1974 when home from college and the summers. We sold Honda's, Pentons, Husqvarnas and Maicos (and Yamaha after I was gone). I left in late '74 to move to Georgia and work for Husqvarna. I spent some time hanging with Don Rosene who was the Penton rep at the time.
I can't remember which year the dealership closed - I'm thinking late 70's early 80's and the owner (jerry Fogle) moved to Michigan and I believe is still selling real estate.
I'm pretty sure the guy in the ad is a rider that Jerry brought here from Australia. He worked a deal with Penton to help sponsor him.
Hope this answers some of your questions.
Those were the good ol' days.
Oh, and I almost forgot, the pipes were made by FMF in California and we sold a bunch of pipes (not just Penton) through the mail order business.
