Puch






The Austrian Puch factory made a 50cc racer for the 68 season. Adolph Zötch rode this Puch racer
and won the 69 Austrian 50cc championship, with engine and frame based on the ISDT Gelände-Sport
model. 1968 version had actually an 8- speed transmission, but reduced to six for 69.

The fast Puch accelerates.... and takes the lead!
Billy Kraul ends this race in 11th place out of 22. Another fast Dane were succesful on the factory- supported Puch.
Under supervision of service- manager Heinz Schösser, Dan Jeppesen of Copenhagen, raced the
Puch to several victories. Much faster than everybody else, and at a Knutstorp race, suspicions of
an engine capacity of more than 50cc rose! Engineer Sven Håkonsson put an end to the protest,
by verifying the measurements!
Would you believe that the engine were checked again in a race in Austria! A well- prepared bike
and sheer driving talent, put all rumours to shame! At the 1970 RingKnutstorp race, Dan Jeppesen
took second place only beaten by Leif Rosell driving a Jamathi.
