John Penton is a motorcycle pioneer with a long list of motorcycling accomplishments and international notoriety. With his family and loyal followers, he changed the motorcycle industry forever. His early love of riding motorcycles pointed him to become a champion at the infamous Jack Pine Enduro in Michigan after World War II. Then, learning from his early days as a “Mud Runner” in those mid-west, off-road motorcycle races, John Penton knew there was a better, lighter machine for competition out there...He just hadn’t invented it yet.  This film features the largest cast of motorcycle legends ever assembled with over 100 interviews. Plus, historically accurate re-creations are all blended with archival photos and film to match the wonderful voice-over of a Penton rider in his younger days...Grammy Winner, Lyle Lovett.
