Congrads Dennis, I glad to that the vintage meet didn't get rained out. I should have made the trip myself but it really rained hard here all day and I'm not that far from the site so I didn't go. I would be very interested in any info you can provide about my Wassel. I would very much like to determine the year and I also need a good picture of the seat as mine is missing and I would like to fab one as close to original as possible. Thanx in advance for your help.

No, I was at the FTA ( Florida Trials Assoc.) 2 day Fun in the Sun meet near Webster Fla. It is about 45 minutes south of Ocala near Bushnell. The Vintage Trials is at Marion Park tomorrow. I will be there too. This park is supposed to be very vintage friendly. By the way, the meet today was a very well put together affair. The area is around an old phosphate pit, and it has a great assortment of rocks, hills and switchbacks. The FTA put on a first class event. Kudos to those guys.

Thanks for the info guys. I went to a meet here in Florida today and saw some awesome riding. So now I'm really wired to get this bike in a competion. Looking forward to more input.

Hi everybody from a newbie. I was recently given a Penton Trials 125. I went to the old message board to try to ID the bike but it didn,t help much, so maybe one of you experienced folks can help me.
The bike has the following numbers:
Frame head: W649ST
Sachs engine side cover: Sachs 1251/6B
I do know that the motor is a Sachs 125-6B but after that I'm lost. I was told by the person I got the bike from, that the frame is a Rickman???  The tank, side covers and both fenders are all aluminum with numerous Penton decals.

Any help that can be provided to this proud new owner would be greatly appreciated.
By the way, Great site, I will definitely visit often.
Thanks in advance,
Shannon
