Hello All,

I wanted to show everyone what "Penny" my Little Berkshire 100 looks like now!  This Penton was originally sold to my next door neighbor in March of 1973 from my parents motorcycle dealership(J & J Cycles) I knew that the original owner still had it,so I made the call and now look what I have!
There are many people I need to mention that helped me with this project. A very special Thank you to my parents for giving me this opportunity in life! Team Pentovarna,Kent Knudson for his wonderful generosity,Gary & Toni Roach,James Giddings,(GMR)for the awsome motor work! We all know how "fast" Adam Giddings bikes are! Al B. and all his Penton parts. Wheelsports(Wally Wilson) Hot Shoe Cycles (Jeff Vlk) he did all my chrome work. Randy Kirkbride helped start this project with his parts that he sold me. Thank you to all who helped in one way or another.
Sincerely,
Mike Scholl

Really nice restoration!!!  It is so nice to hear the history behind the bike, too.  When I see photos posted of Berkshires it motivates me to continue on my Berkshire build-up project.   Thank you,  joe

Thanx Joe, Yes - I am proud to say that I was able to ride my Berkie in the parade to John's house & back.
