POG Newsletter

[vohnbusby]

Hello from the Carolinas

Though certainly not new to Penton Motorcycles, I am new to POG membership.  Thank you for allowing me to join!  I just finished reading the latest POG newsletter, and its nicely organized, informative, and it was a relative fun read.  I am glad to receive it.  However, I did notice the club spent $2 dollars of postage mailing it to me.  I am wondering.....with such a real quality website and obvious server space...why isn't the newsletter embedded to the webpage?  I understand the need for printed newsletters, locally, but wouldn't it be more economic for a digital format for distance members? 
   

I attended York 25 and entered my 1972 6-Day to the show.  The bike just finished a very slow restoration, and I might be biased.....but the bike is show quality.  Going up to York.....I wondered how many bikes would be in the show and if mine was worthy of a trophy.  What I saw was bikes of enormous quality!  I think the brand is in great shape and will reach far into the future.  BTW, I am going to attempt to permanently loan the 6-Day to Wheels Through Time Museum in Maggie Valley, NC where it will tell the Penton history to the Carolinas.

Vohn,
I can't speak for anyone but myself, but with all the publications now online, I love the receiving of my " Still Keeping Track" via mail & in paper form. Like an old school book, holding and feeling something real, tangible, is my preference. There is a bit of excitement when you see that envelope in the mailbox... maybe it's just me?
So I prefer the current publication, and willing to anty up some extra $$ to keep it that way. I still race my 74 250 HS when time permits. With 67 years old and at least partial retirement in the very near future, I hope the 74 and I will spend a few more hours on the track, and on the trails in good Ole Florida and beyond.
All my dirt bikes are pure vintage and only vintage do I ride, various brands, but the Penton brand is dear to my heart, the bikes, folks, events, live on, long after I purchased my first Penton 125 Six Day in St. Pete Florida in 1973...
