The Penton Owners Group is embarking on a
project to gather information on the steel tank era of the Penton
motorcycle. This era began with the birth of the Penton in 1968 -
1971. The Penton Owners Group feels that this is the time period that
needs to be researched and documented. This project will take some
time to complete and will consist of collecting images and stories from
people who were directly involved with the Penton brand at that time.
Another part of this project will be a steel tank questionnaire. It is
believed that over 6,600 steel tanks bikes were produced during this time
period.
In order to get a true developmental time line, a questionnaire has been
created. Anyone who has a steel tank Penton, whether it is just a
frame or a completed bike, is urged to take part in this project. Your
input is needed to make this project a success. The more
questionnaires that are received, the more accurately this timeline can be
documented. To take part in this survey, click on the Steel Tank
questionnaire link below. The questionnaire will then need to be
printed, filled out and mailed to the address appearing at the end of the
questionnaire. Even if you just have a frame, there are over ten
questions pertaining to the frame itself. So if it is a complete bike
or just a bare frame, your input is needed!
Also provided below is an image help page to assist you in answering some of
the questions. Beside some of the question choices, you will see an
image number in italics (i.e. ~ Image 5A). This number
corresponds to an image on the help page. This should help you
understand the question better.
If you don't have a printer or are unable to print for other reasons, please
email
Penton Owners Group or contact Bill Smith, 38236 N. Rickham
Ct., Westland, MI 48186, (734) 377-6953 and one will be mailed to you.
All information and photos collected will be kept confidential and only used
