For sale 1967 Puch 250cc Twingle. This bike has a very unusual motor, it has 2 pistons and 1 rod. Mostly complete. Motor is free and has good compression. No titlte. Model number 310.895711 $495 obo. Great project.
"split piston singles" were one attempt to solve the low power/ high fuel consumption problems plaguing early two strokes. One piston was generally bigger than the other and there was a port between the two.
Puch, an Austrian company, made many of the bikes that were sold in the Sears catalog.

Back in the late 70's I had a Western Flyer moped from Western Auto. It was actually a Columbia Commuter with a Puch 50cc engine. The Puch parts were great, the Columbia parts were marginal and Western Auto only supplied the name. Tons of fun.

Depend on State. Some states not need title before Y years. example: You don't need a Title Before 1973 for cars and trucks.

Hi Boonie, look like from your recent post, you have a desire to own a motorcycle. That old bike is cool and everything,but finding parts for restoring could be difficult if not impossible. I would stay away from it If I were you. On the other hand,there are lots of bikes for sale, you just have to keep your eyes peeled and keep looking for that special deal. I was not even looking for a bike, but today I stumbled across this. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymot...B:EOIBSA:MOTORS:1123 My high bid was 1301 and I got it for $1125, granted I have to do a little work but it's nothing I can't handle. Anyway, have a look at the Triumph I just purchased today, If nothing else, I can fix it and at least double my money on it. This is what I mean by making your money work for you. Good luck.

Yeah, I was looking through classic bikes when I came across that. I would love to have an old Norton....
Looks like a nice bike you got there!

And I was just thrilled to get a 1975 Honda trail 90 with 247 miles on it. Guy buys it for his daughter, she thinks it sucks and it sits for 35 years. Yeah!
I remember sears and the 250 twingle. In one cylinder and out the other. Never personally rode one, but heard they were slow, very slow.

What a coincidence, I have been looking for a Honda trail 90 for quite sometime but every one I find is too far away or pretty expensive. I would like to have one for short jaunts around here and some trail riding. Had one many years ago, it was very dependable and was a pleasure to ride, much better and tougher than a scooter.

Yeah, Dad baught one. He got everything from Sears. I think even he though, ( what an idiot). I'm not into bikes now even though the wether is in the 80s all year long, and old bikes are not the first on my mind. But, I would love a Cafe styled Norton Comando completely restored of corse.

Unless I'm misreading this, sounds like you're calling your dad an idiot?
