Carson City Bike Show & My Penton

[penton117]

Hi Guys,
Just a note of thanks to everyone on this board that helped me finish my 125 show bike. The help, parts and advise all helped me get the little six-day through it's (and my) first show at Carson City, NV. this past weekend. And to top it all off we got 3rd place! A photo is here http://www.avac.com/125SHOW.jpg
Also of note, the next day at the vintage MX, a fellow who's name I didn't catch (I believe it was Tom Mcsomething-or-other)got a great holeshot in the first moto on a 1974 250 Penton before fading to fourth and then in the very next moto he came back with another awesome holeshot on the same bike which he held until finally getting passed and finishing second. I guess those Pentons are kinda fast, huh?

Anyway thanks again to everyone for the help. Next stop Del Mar!

What a beauty! Looks exactly like the '72 I used to own. I now own a '69 Steel tanker. By the way, I also own (among many others) a '67 bonny almost identical to yours! Mine has a later-spec crossover exhaust tube. You might like to drop by my forum at //www.delphi.com/grandpaul and check out some extensive resources for Triumph Bonnevilles.
