I'll close out the week (and the month) here on the blog with a great article about well-known motorcycle racer and entrepreneur John Penton of Amherst. The full-page story written by Journal Staff Writer Bob Cotleur (whose work has been featured many times on this blog) appeared in the paper on July 4, 1971. It's a great profile of John Penton (who was 46 years old at that time) and provides an interesting look at how he developed an interest in motorcycles, his military career, the beginnings of his motorcycle business, as well as his many racing accomplishments.
