Hi Myke,
It was sold in the US as a Sears Allstate in the 1960s. It's the "twingle" engine: 2 piston, single cylinder. I had one of those. I've had a lot of the "catalog bikes". I've got a few Montgomery Ward bikes (Benelli), and the parts to build a Sears (Gilera). One's in my living room right now.
Parts aren't that hard to find. They don't sell for much on eBay. email me, and I can point you to sites, since these aren't really the overland bike of choice.

Those are one of my favorite bikes. Seeing the film on your site makes me wish I had restored it instead of getting it in parts and letting it go in parts. Maybe I'll buy my friend's DKW which is pretty close to that and fix it up. After India of course. Oh, and I need to fix up an H-modified race car too. Sometimes (once in a rare while), I'll actually complete one of my projects.
