SynopsisThis book goes beyond the story of a man and his machine. It ties motorcycling into a larger cultural movement, explaining how political and economic events affected the creation of the off-road motorcycle in the 1960s, the precipitous decline of the market during the 1970s, and the rebound that found KTM motorcycles -- successor to the Penton -- competing successfully against the Japanese manufacturers in the 1990s. Consumed by a passion to build better motorcycles and a deep, patriotic desire to lead America to victory, John Penton has spent his life redefining off-road motorcycling. Along the way he helped change the face of American motorcycle competition, the politics of racing, and what Americans expect from their off-road motorcycles.
