The Shlog is where it’s at. At heart, if we aren’t riding, we want to hang out at the shop, talk shit, and talk about dirt bikes. Maybe learn something too…

[@husaislander4838]

That Penton is pretty cool 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@jeffvincent1960]

The Penton is a six-speed. With 10 neutrals. Had a Six-Days and a Berkshire “back in the day”. That 125 appears to be in remarkable shape.

[@highlandcycles]

🤣😂. It’s a weird one

[@coybee]

Like the motion sensitive camera!

[@Tklatti01]

Super stoked to see a video on it!

[@johnbranson7253]

I had 1 of those bought new in 73-wish I had it back.

[@michaelirwin3790]

Camera worked great

[@brendonchase9460]

The sensor camera mount is awesome 👌 its good how it follows you around, even when you bend down. Up close it might be good as well. 👍

[@highlandcycles]

Thanks. I might borrow it again and fiddle with settings.

[@d.brayman3165]

Great Shlog!!! Motion camera might be worth a try.

[@200xcBruce]

Marvel Mystery oil to the rescue.

[@jacobworld333]

Getting seasick!

[@davidanderson2393]

I was surprised to see the Penton, I know a father and son team who have a small bike repair shop they work on the side. I had to laugh when the son told me if it has points ignition they won't work on it. I own modern dirt bikes and own vintage dirt bikes, and yes I am an old guy. But still off road ride and enjoy and support the vintage racing community, you can check with AMS Racing or Speed and Sport for parts or info on where to get them.

Love the Penton project, hope you are able to complete it in-house. Tracking camera seems to work well, wonder how well it works at a clozsr range. Appreciate all you do.

[@highlandcycles]

Thanks.

[@sandysmith7485]

Love those foot pegs. When I was a young MXer riding Suzuki TM 125s there were quite a few Pentons in every race.

[@TechEnduro]

maybe if that motion camera could have the sensitivity turned down for wider shots like that it would be good. seem to want to follow just small hand movements.

[@highlandcycles]

Yeah. I noticed that too. I’m sure there are settings. I obviously didn’t fiddle with it much.

[@mudstick2509]

My Uncle and Cousin had 1973 Pentons they were pretty cool bikes back in the Day! Good luck with the restore

[@zachfarkash6430]

I gotta say that camera you used was pretty cool falling you around.🤘

[@keithjohnson3993]

🤘🤘🤘

[@richardhartley1705]

👍👍

[@chadmanproductions]

Rode one of these for years. It was a hand-me-down from my dad, and I loved it. Well, except for the tiny Kickstarter on the wrong side that required the bike to be in neutral.

[@highlandcycles]

Haha

[@whitekidgarage127]

The auto tracker seemed to be a little bouncy not horrible just a little annoying

[@highlandcycles]

Yeah. It might have settings that can eliminate that.

[@vince5946]

The tracker camera is pretty neat but having everything backwards is annoying to me and your ugly thumb is on the wrong hand lol:)

[@highlandcycles]

I know. I have to imagine that can be fixed
