After two extremely well-received premieres in Cleveland, OH and Hollywood, CA, “PENTON: The John Penton Story” is being released in limited markets nationally including Seattle.

John Penton is motorcycle pioneer who’s life on a farm in Ohio led to a long list of motorcycling accomplishments and global notoriety. From a humble motorcycle shop, he had an international off-road racing career, leading him to the discovery of the need for a smaller machine.

Narrated by Grammy Winner, Lyle Lovett.
