Has anyone heard of this model. I was wondering if it was a trials bike but it doesn't have trials tires on it. It does have a small teardrop tank.
Keith,
The original Wassel trials bike built for Penton was called the Mudlark and to say the least it was not the best of sellers. There was a time to get Pentons you had to take one of them. There were many methods tried to sell these bikes one of which was to put on knobbies and a high fender along with the orange blaze on the tank. This was called the Woodsman. That is my spin on it.
Penton even put on a headlight, tail light, and called one model "cafe moto cross" a first real dual sport bike!
Thanks, that makes sense. This guy was a former dealer in Iowa. He won't sell it, but was a small dealer, this was probably his one he had to buy.
I have saw some Woodsman's that were also fitted with a 125 Husky exhaust to make them look more like a (traditional dirt bike)

Keith, which Iowa dealer was it, I would like to see it.
