Found a pretty cool Utube but can't varify or ID it.

Steve,

   That is awesome cool.....thanks for posting it.

It was posted by Merik Kovach, Mrs. Kovach just passed away about a month or so ago, she was John Penton's sister. I am not sure who Merik Kovach is just yet, possibly a cousin to Jack, Tom and Jeff.

This video was taken by Mike Kovach. Mike is the oldest son of Mary Kovach, John's sister. Tom lived with the Kovach's after our mothers death and Mike and Tom have remained close ever since. Mike did some riding in the very early days before the Penton bike and has some very interesting pictures from the 60s of all of the Penton and Kovach boys as youths.

How cool is that?.  Nothing against Steve McQ but for sheer authenticity and spontaneity this one wins the biscuit from the Elsinore commercial which is itself a great video.
