What Did You Do To Your PENTON Today?

[Rob Hugo]

Beautiful! That must have been a thrill to hear it run again. Nice job.

Two 1977 Penton 250 GS6 enduros getting prepped for the riding season.

The one on the left: installed a new HPI ignition, EE Handguards, new grips, new clutch cable, lubed cables, new 36mm Mik carb. Awaiting new tires and installation of the centerstand — once the weather gets a little warmer and stabilizes. Looking forward to getting it out on the trails.

The one on the right: About 1 month ago, I pulled this bike out of the basement. It had sat down there,
mothballed & properly stored, for 12-13 years. New Plug, freshly cleaned filter, lubed cables, and a little fresh gas, and surprisingly it fired up on the first kick. Took for a little tour through my neighborhood. The only thing it needed was to have the seat cover "tightened" up -- which I've since had re-glued and riveted since this photo was taken in March.  Other than that -- perfect. Needs nothing else. It's ready to ride.

First true shake down trail ride of this bike. This bike is so satisfying on every level. The new ignition and 36mmMikuni turned a great bike into a greater bike. Could not be happier if I tried any harder.

Beautiful machine to ride on such a beautiful spring day!🙂
