I bought the bike from a friend about 3-4 years ago.  I am the 3rd owner as far as I can tell, I do have a title for it.  The bike came out of Wisconsin, fairly original with 330 miles on the Odo when I got it.  It is the 100cc version, 1970, runs great and sometimes I bring it to Mid-Ohio for a campground to swapmeet runner.  It also has flat alloy rims, which may be somewhat unusual for that era.  This is probably one of my favorite Penton's.

I have the coolest interview of Rod, with that bike, taken at Vintage Days a couple of years ago.  We're standing at Rod's campsite, and he's talking about the Berkshire.  It's raining, the bike is wet - and muddy, and Rod is beaming, drscribing how he much he enjoys bringing the bike out and riding it.  Aint that what's it's all about?  Share your Pentons, POG'ers.  The rest of the world deserves to enjoy 'em, too.
