1974 penton 250 Hare Scrambler barn find

[pklinck]

I bought a complete original early 250 hare scrambler with the intention of rebuilding it along with other penton 100-125s on the plate.   I decided this will be beyond my finance as I am a big fan of the sachs powered pentons.

HARE SCRAMBLER INFO:  this bike has the red watermelon tank, wheels good, nice exhaust system, front forks loose, rear konis, etc.  It has not been started in years. I would be willing to sell it for about 600 bucks (OBO) or to barter with 73-74 sachs powered penton parts.  Parts I need most are early 73 frame, 32mm forks, ok wheels (1 or 2), B motor bottomend, etc. or equivalent find.

I'll get a couple of pics in a day or two.  Any interest or contacts to share, email me at [email protected] .

Thanks, Peter Klinck, POG member

Hi Peter,

I just sent you an email to the address you stated and it bounced as undeliverable. Can you please check the address for correctness?

Folks,

Sorry for not responding.  I have been flat out work overtime and building a studio on my land after the house burnt last year.

Listen,  yes, I took some photos today and have to take others for something else on a borrowed camera.  No, the bike has not been sold while i have not been responding since too busy.

LOCATION:  The bike is in Vermont, not far from New Hampshire.  Rob, could this bike be front/back loaded in that transport of parts going from your place to your buyer, another POG member in Vermont??

Addition info in bike condition:  I noticed that this 250 shifts gears even though the piston could be stuck alittle.  I shifted in to second and first and was able to get it back to neutral.  It has a tranny slow drip leak as i noticed when the bike sat for a week on the back of my truck.  SO the gears are thus presumably free, the kick start shaft is fine, loose, moves, sprocket gear (attached chain) rolls fine when i push the bike around.  

The bike is basically original and all together.  I noticed the nice grey/silver magura switch still on the handle bars.  this bike was ice raced passed it's prime as is noted by the studs on the tires.  It is a Jan, 1974 VIN with a red watermelon tank and short seat on it.  

My suggestion is to pursue by email so i can send pictures this coming week.  My sis will have to load them on her camera, select together, and send them to my email box first.

keep in touch all,
