Its a Miracle!

Last weekend while working on my Ossa Stiletto, I was interupted by the phone with a guy on the other end asking if I knew anyone who would be interested in purchasing an old Penton mx'er. "What year?" I asked. The nice fellow on the other end said he didn't know but it had a chrome tank and a small seat. With considerable haste, I jumped in the Acura a sped away into the country side with visions of a dusty bike being pulled from an old barn, perhaps it was a good part bike for a Wassell project I had always meant to get to. Upon arriving, there it was...a perfectly prestine, titled, '74 Penton Wassell 125/6B with new tires, undented tank, untattered seat with gleaming alloy fenders, all the stickers in place, totally original! I tried to remain calm as best I could. Paying very little for the bike (it would make grown men cry if I told you) I now have it parked next to my '71 DKW 125. I'm hoping they'll breed. I'll take a picture and send it into the POG newsletter. I've wanted a Penton since 1971 and 30 yrs later, one is handed to me!

Now this is the 2nd time I've heard of super good deals. I must not be living right! I find what seems like it could be a deal and then I run into the James Gang, only they used guns to rob people. Send some of that good luck out to CA.

Dennis, I would love to know more about the Wassell frame and how John Penton came to choose this frame manufacturer. Any articles would be appreciated. My home e-mail address is: ([email protected])
