When I googled Images of Puch, I found this web page, it has pictures of a lot of the bikes mentioned already, and a whole boat load of bikes that I have never heard of or seen before, check it out.

Wikipedia sezzz.........In 2010, a group of Spanish businessmen purchased the rights to the Ossa trademark and began producing Ossa branded motorcycles once again.[2] The new firm produces trials and enduro models. The factory team competed in the 2011 FIM Trials world championship, with factory sponsored rider Jeroni Fajardo finishing the season in fifth place.[9]

Didn't see American Eagle on the list....I don't know who was Mfg this gem from the early 60s. Also I used to own this thing called a Panonia (sp) that was both ugly and evil.

I rode a Puch 125 back in 1962 and never knew that it was made by CZ. My subsequent Bike was a monster 400 Radial head CZ so I stayed in the Commie- Pinko family.

Correction: The year was 1972...It's easy as hell to lose 10 years at my age.
