Let's play, WTF is that?!
« on: October 24, 2010, 05:30:34 AM »
   Why not have one, on-going thread about obscure, weird and/or rare bikes? Keep 'em all in one place.

 I'll start. Spotted in the swap meet at the Barber Vintage Festival. Wicked cool! I must admit: I have NO CLUE what it is!

1. A #$%*ing nightmare when you need to change tires?
2. A time-bomb of rollers and bearings? 
3. An idiot without a helmet?
4. All of the above?

this thread and that first picture made me realize the idea that "i would just buy a bike and ride it a couple years then move on" is not going to happen, I can see now I will likely own atleast one motorcycle for the rest of my life..  cheers guyes!

Aside from the helmet thing and the maintenance issues and poor maneuverability, I think that actually looks pretty cool.  Pretty comfortable too.

Your picture is titled "Sears"  ;)
 I'll guess that it's a Sears and Roebuck.

Sears and roebucks sold rebadged Puchs. Saw one for sale here in Seattle a few weeks ago. That it was too cool.

Your partially right, they were sold through Sears, but were manufactured in France.
It is a 106cc single cylinder 4 stroke.
Anyone know the manufacturer?
