Two Cushman Engines

These two Cushman engines are sitting on the work bench in my shop. The one on the left with the air shroud is a good engine. The other one is "for parts."
These old cast iron, flat head engines are primative by 21st Century standards, but they were reliable and easy to work on. 50 or 60 years ago, teenagers overhauled their Cushman engines in a weekend.

Piaggio and Sears Allstate

The orange scooter (top)is my Vespa Rally with the Piaggio logo showing. There is another photo of this scooter below. The Allstate is a 1953 model 811.40 DeLuxe that has been restored. Cushman built these for Sears. I had an original logo, but this reproduction looked a lot better.

Various Scooter Logos

The green Vespa is a 1974, The Wards Riverside is an unrestored 1966 motor bike made by Benelli.

The red Vespa Rally is a 1972.

scooter logos

I was wandering around my shop yesterday with a digital camera, an before I knew it, I was taking close up pictures of various scooter logos. The chrome block letters are on an unrestored Cushman Eagle. This is my number one rider, so it sometimes needs cleaning up. Close ups reveal a lot of dirt. The script decal is on a restored 1947 Cushman.
