His s on, 15- year-old Mike , almost beat him In his fi rst Hare Scr ambles last a utum n. Here Is F r ank's own account of his career In cycling: " I started rldlng about 25 years ago on a 1937 Harley 80 flathead, have been r iding ever since, Started riding Class C quarter- and halfmile In 1947 on an Indlan Scout then switched to BSA. Rode mostly In Call!. until 1951. Rode my first desert race In 1948 and have been at It eve r s ince . Started with the 1948 BIg Bear Run and fell In love with the des er t, rode the laS t Big Bear In 1961 - the last one was cal1ed no contest . Have r idde n mo s t of the large Hare and Hounds , Hare Scrambles an d Enduros that have been he ld on the wes t coa s t . Rode Greeves for a bout 5 yea rs , s witched to Triumph 500 In 1966. "Ride Expert class, number 22u , Dis trict 36a ( now Dis tric t 35), am membe r of the Visalia Ram blers , the best cl ub In the dls trlct, an d In the past ten years have held every office a t lea s t once, was club referee for 1965- 6-7 a nd AMA Tec h. Co mmitteeman for cross country raci ng fo r Dis t. 36a which I have held for the past 3 years . " Whlle ge tting ove r a l eg Inj ur y a cquired by s ti cking my fr ont wheel In a downhill badger hole a few yea rs a go, I de ctded to have a go at restoring a old bike. "I picked up a rare 1937 Excelsior Manxman 350cc OHC In a complete s tate of decay and went to work r estoring It to new condition, won best Antique World of Wheels show In Hollywood In sept. ot last year and s pecial di s play award a t the Winter Nati onals hel d In L.A . last Dec. It was the onl y Classic or Antique Bike shown. Am now In the process of restori ng a 1917 Harley Single and have two r are classics on the way fr om England. " . he Class ic and Anti que Motorcycl e T Assn. was started last yea r by a fe w collectors and r e s tor er s who thoug lt.1t was about .ti m e we had a group or MIDWEst . Hle MESSA GE By Ford Reid Now you can buy an out or the box endu r o winn e r, at leas t the ma chi ne s houl d be a winner I! you are. Th e bike Is being dls trlb uted by the P en ton Broth ers of Amhe r s t, Ohlo an d l s cal1ed the Penton Six OLy. One of the Pen ton s Is John and U you' ve foll owed end ures a nd Inte r na ti onal trials at you know him a s one of the best In both fields . John' s been a threat on the Na ti onal en duro circ uit for years and this year won a me dal In the Inte r national Six Day Trials In Polan d. So, It's obvious J ohn knew wha t he wanted In an en dur o bik e when he started designi ng this one fro m the gr ound UP. " I wanted a lightweight bike tha t would go ," John · tol d me , " an d we designed thi s one to be jus t tha t. " My fi r s t look at the machine was a s trang e one for a stump Jumpe r _ It was winning the 125 and under class at the fir s t Ohio T T of the year . John's s on , Tom, was making the machine do Impres sive things, but then all of the Pentons are Impressive riders . Power to r the Pento n Six Day co mes from a 125cc !lve-speed sachs plant. The motor deve lops 15- 1/ 2 hors es and unllke many lightweight machines, s hould be powe rful enough to carry bigg er r ide rs. The ma chin e weig hs 185 po unds has a 53-inch wheelbase , 10' Inches of ~lear ance and a sea t height of 31 Inches . MOtO- crO M tl res of 275x21 and 350x 18 are mounted In the front and r ea r r espec ti vely , And speaking ot fronts and r ears , the ma chine has Cerlanl suspension all the way round. Th e fo rks are full 250 motocross Ce rianls With six Inches of travel . The bike Is s uppo s e to do 70 mlles an hour on the r oad, plenty fast for those between secti ons r uns . It Isn' t an all purpose machine , a str eet s c rambler or even a trail bike. John Pe nton, a man who knows wha t he ants In a competi tion machine, has de w signed a bik e for enduros, Ohi o m ud r uns an d an occ asional moto-cros s . The $695 price tag may seem a btt steep unti l you s tar t to think a bout those Cerlanl for ks and you see the wor km an s hip on the de tails or the bike. Ever ythi ng Is of the tl nest quality an d John s ays the price Is rockbottom for the quality. Available will be a baffle for the tuned expansion chamber an d a li ghting- spee dometer kit ror endu ro r tdlng . The lighting kit will Include a fully calibra ted VOO enduro speedometer an d will go tor $59.95. If you' re sertous abou t enduros an d you're lookin g for a machine you could probably do a lot worse . If John Penton him s elf Is going to ride the Penton Six OLy In National enduros it couldn't be too bad. an
