A friend of mine found this gem, a 1973 CZ 400 still in the crate. I thought some of you might find it interesting.

There are a couple down here in GA in a crate but the guy that has them does not want to sell em. I stop by his place and talk bikes maybe one day he will change his mind. I guess all those NIB AJS Stormers are gone. I remember seeing them in the 80's for sale a lot.

Does anybody know where to buy the old WWII Jeeps for $100?

About 10 years ago, on the way home from an enduro, I stopped into Cycle Design in western MA.  The owner claimed to have a Penton 125 Six Days new in the crate.  ...wonder if it's still there???

Just sold my Coats tire machine to our old local Penton, Bultaco, Yamaha dealer and he sold a leftover NOS Wassell Penton Trials and a NOS Hiro Penton recently in the last 10 years.  The Hiro isn't that far from here, trying to contact the owner to see if he wants to sell it.  I know where the Wassell is and the owner wants to keep it. Actually it is a Cafe Motocross dual sport version.  Too cool[:0]

Are there any pictures of the Wassel/Penton Cafe Motocross. I have one of the Woodsmen with the Husky 125 pipe, Penton seat, Upgraded shocks and large alloy tank. What changes did they make to this bike.

It was a Wassell Trials with Hi Point knobby tires, a headlamp and taillamp used for "dual sport" riding.  Different tank decals though. That's about it.  The orange model came out after this model.  It had a later Penton long tall seat, PP fenders and a Husky 125 exhaust with orange panels painted on the tank and side panels.  I have a nice set of the orange panels in stock and for sale at Mid Ohio this year.;)

I wonder what the CMF 125 that John had in the original crate till few years back would have brought? I am pretty sure it was supposed to be the last Sachs powered serial production Penton built.

I would love to just find an original Penton packing create, love that smell.....
