Penton Talk / POG 2026 Raffle Bike
Last post by Paul Danik - March 17, 2026, 04:33:04 AMThe Penton Owners Group is excited to announce that it will once again have a raffle bike for 2026. Being as John Penton had envisioned his Penton Sportcycle as being suitable for young riders, the Penton Owners Group will be raffling a 2026 65cc KTM SX that will most certainly make a young rider's 2026 Christmas a most joyous one as the winning ticket will be drawn at the December of 2026 POG Christmas gathering.
Your support of the Penton Owners Group through your purchase of raffle bike tickets is very much appreciated. Just click on the link below to buy raffle tickets and to see how the 2026 raffle bike has been updated from the 2025 raffle bike. A BIG THANK YOU to KTM for helping to make this raffle possible.

Penton Talk / Re: What Did You Do To Your PE...
Last post by Carl Hill - March 16, 2026, 06:40:25 AMGot this machine (well) used in Avon Ohio in 1978. My first full size dirt bike. My older brother tore it apart in the early 80s with the intention of rebuilding it. Thankfully my dad never threw anything away. I finally completed it this past weekend. First time it has run in 45+ years... started first kick!

Penton Talk / March 7th 1968, 58 years ago t...
Last post by Paul Danik - March 07, 2026, 09:43:14 AM58 years ago today, March 7th 1968, the first ten serial production Penton Sportcycles arrived by airfreight in Cleveland, Ohio. Doug Wilford's dad, Wally, was dispatched by John to pick up the bikes and haul them back to Amherst, and the fun began !!!
From photos I have seen, I believe the bikes were uncreated and put together in the area of the old original Penton Motorcycle Agency. As the story goes, within a day six of them were on their way to the Stone Mountain National Enduro to be ridden by Dave Mungenast, Tom Penton, Leroy Winters, Al Born, Larry Maiers and of course John Penton.
If you find all of this Penton history to be interesting, be sure to read the John Penton book.

The photo is of Al Born on Penton serial number V-003 taken in Georgia a day before the Stone Mountain event.

Last post by Daniel P. McEntee - March 05, 2026, 10:39:35 AM That's great news!! That's a heck of a quick turn around!! Wish I could navigate through the medical system that fast!! Everything with me seems to be "hurry up and wait!" But I'm glad that Al is doing so well.
