This blog is for aimless ramblings about vintage motor scooters, travel, and how to survive retirement. You may see other subjects here, because there are lots of stories back there in the cobwebs of my brain.

My first Cushman
This is my first Cushman. I bought it in 1993, and restoration was finished just in time for the 1995 meet of the Cushman Club of America in Lincoln, Nebraska. I rode it a lot the first few years, but as I got more scooters, I used it a little less. It seem to have held up very well. This picture was made in my shop in Feb. of 2006.
This scooter is very similar to one owned by a friend when we were in high school. The horn on the handlebars is the same one he had on his Cushman. His was a 1948 and mine is a 1947, but there is no difference between the two model years. He and I spent a lot of time riding his scooter in Fort Pierce, Florida back in the middle of the 20th century. Those were the days!
