Penton
Penton was a brand of off-road motorcycle introduced in 1968 by John Penton, a noted enduro rider on the dirt bike competition circuit, who was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 1998.
Penton approached the KTM company, which at the time made bicycles and mopeds, to build a light-weight off-road motorcycle. The first Penton motorcycles used a modified small-capacity Sachs engine with improved suspension and details.
The early motorcycles made their mark in International Six Days Trials (now called the International Six Days Enduro) competitions, Enduro races (Jack Pine in Michigan), Scrambles and Motocross with riders such as future Motorcycle Hall of Fame members Billy Uhl and Carl Cranke. The most popular size was the 125cc (Six Day), but they were also made in 100 cc (Berkshire) and later, in 175 cc (Jackpiner, in 1972), 250 cc (Hare Scrambler, in 1973), and 400 cc (Mint, in 1974).
Beginning in 1972 fiberglass gas tanks were introduced and all of the 175 cc and larger models used KTM engines. In 1974 longer travel gas forks with laid-down rear shocks for longer suspension travel, lightweight plastic fenders and frames of high grade chrome-moly steel were introduced. In 1976 two distinct models appeared for the first time differentiating between Motocross use (MC5) and Enduro (Cross County). The MC5 MX series used longer travel leading-axle, magnesium slider forks to complement the high lever-ratio rear suspension configuration making all but the 125 a competitive Motocross model.

ME VOY A CAMINAR
by: BandanaME VOY A CAMINAR
A VEER QUE PASA EN LA CIUDAD
A DAR LA VUELTA AMI DESTINO
A DEJARME LLEVAR
Y A MIRAR...
A VER QUE PASARÁ
ME VOY A VER EL SOL
EN BRAZOS DE LA TENTACIÓN
PARA PORBAR OTR CAMINO
MAS ALLÁ DEL DOLOR
DE TU AMOR
A VER SI ES LO MEJOR
QYE ES LO QUE PASA
QUE SALGO Y NADA PASA
NO HAY NADIE TODAVÍA
RECIÉN ASOMA EL DÍA
QUE ES LO QUE PASA
QUE SALGO Y NADA PASA
NO SE COMO SERÍA
LA HISTORIA DE MI VIDA
NO TE QUEDES
SIN SABER QUE PUEDES
SE QUIEN ERES
TODO DEPENDE DE VOS
TODO DEPENDE DE VOS
