Pull up a couch. It's cool in the Lounge. Just remember to be a good neighbor.

Mungenast Motorcycle Museum - John Penton's buddy

Post by Bronco »

Enjoyed the Penton movie last night. If you've never been to the Mungenast motorcycle museum in St. Louis I'd highly recommend it. As mentioned in the movie, Dave Mungenast, Sr. was a contemporary of Penton. The museum has a great collection of dirt bikes (aka "mud runners") from the 50's, 60's & 70's. I like to go before the SuperCross race and sign the book, drop a few bucks in the donation box and have a free hot dog while roaming around. They've expanded to a building across the street w/ cars as well. The museum is in Mungenast's original St. Louis Honda dealership building (circa 1965) and the curator is his second ever employee who has some good stories if you get him going. http://www.mungenastclassicmuseum.com
