The Mazzilli had a 125 Sachs, and the Herc had an 85cc(??) Sachs. I had forgotten about the concentric shifter/kick-starter shafts. One of my buddies had a Sachs Cross Country back in the day, and he often traded bikes because my C200 was good for practicing balance wheelies.
I talked to the owner's buddy; all he knew was that it was Italian, and from the '70s. As far as being riders, look at the fresh mud in the pic of the engine.
They were on their way back to San Jose from some big trials event in OK or AR(?). The guy I talked to mentioned they had a few more bikes in the enclosed trailer they were towing, and opened the side door to give me a peak at a couple of Pentons and a BSA 441 Victor "Grand Prix"?? It had the oil tank in the upper frame tube, which I've only seen on one other Beezer.
