Happy 95th Birthday John Penton! Dealer, distributor, OEM, LEGEND!
From the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame:
John Penton was one of the most influential figures in the development of off-road motorcycle racing in America during the 1960s and ‘70s. A national champion rider, Penton went on to develop a legendary brand of off-road motorcycles that bore his name. Thousands of riders learned to ride on Pentons. He also founded Hi-Point, a boot and apparel company that for a time boasted over half the sales in the U.S. market.
