Remembering my Cushman

[Tmate]

I was cutting out a Harley logo today, and for some reason remembered the Cushman Scooter I got as a 13 year old. I thought I'd try my hand at it.

Loved your post. Brought back memories for me. My first "motorcycle" was a Cushman Trailster when I was 12 years old.

Back around '62 or '63, Pop drug in a Cushman mail buggy. Basing it on memory alone, I would say probably a "Truckster" with an enclosure on the back. I got it running, more or less, in jig time. I was much too young for any kind of license and when I had driven down the rather steep hill toward the river, it didn't have the power to come back up. Pop had to call in some help, which raised a real barrel of $#!t. The police looked the other way, but the embarresment was wide spread. He took the key away and eventually sold it. But he made a little profit, it did run, sorta.
