Ask John Penton to sign Number Plate?

[Jeff Koehler]

I had hear that if you send John something to sigh, he would be kind enough to sign it. I wanted my plate for my Jackpiner signed. Anyone know the best way to get it to him? Thanks.

Hi Jeff,  

   Yep, sure do know the best way...  POG meeting tomorrow night at the KTM building just outside of beautiful and sunny Amherst, Ohio....you can even get your picture taken with him as he signs it....

I know that really isn't that funny....  I am sure you live a distance away.

I would be glad to get it handled for you if you like. I can be reached at  [email protected]

John Penton always takes pride in signing items for folks. It is easy to see why he won the AMA's Most Popular Male Rider Award in 1960. I also read where he was voted the Most Popular Rider at the Jackpine at one of those events. Below is one of the neatest pictures I have ever seen of John signing an item for a fan.

He is a real stickler to sign items so that his name is readable, and he ALWAYS puts the date with it. When I see a tank or numberplate with his signature I always check the date and usually can figure what the location was when he signed it, such as Vintage Days or at a POG meeting.
