National Cushman Meet....Mid Ohio pics

I went to the "National Cushman Meet" the past few days to buy parts for the two I am restoring and to get ideas. At 40, I was a fish out of water with all these older folks.

I did manage to get some pics of some really nice Cushmans of the same era of mine and to the same level I will be restoring to.

We went on a 15 mile group ride (over 250 Cushmans of all types) to Mid Ohio race track and they split us into two groups for a couple laps each at a whopping 30 mph. I did manage to sneak in a couple fast turns without p!ssing off any of the older folk .

A few pics for your entertainment

nice '58 and '57 Eagles

The joy on my dad's face on x-mas morning when a shiny new Cushman is rolled out to him will be priceless though.

This thread needs....



Words and music by Mars Bonfire

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild

Tim,
Those pics bring back a lot of memories of a blue cushman eagle my father bought for me many years ago and all of the adventures I had riding it!!

THANKS!

Yep, there were a bunch of all sorts of contraptions, some stock, some frankenstiens. There was even a one there cruising the fairgrounds with a very loud pipe organ built into the front with a single rear wheel. There were multiple trucksters, three wheeled golf carts, three wheeled maintainance carts, tracksters etc etc.

Don't worry John Cramer, I ain't goin there!

The scooter restoration I am doing now is a nice small relatively cheap project that my dad always wanted as a kid. I just kind of happened into them and probably will end up just finishing the one I am working on and leaving the other one that runs as is.

I do NEED to get back to my airplane project, but daughter's cars and a Porsche bug bit for the last two years and I have been neglecting the airplane stuff for a bit too long. I will get the airplane fever again no doubt, but these smaller scale projects can make for quick gratification type projects.

I will simply tell my wife that a couple weekends and a few hundred bucks and the Grumman will be good as new.

I was at Pinal Airpark (Marana, AZ) yesterday and saw about six ex Chalk's airlines Albatrosses parked in a row. Sad, I know somebody with enough money could get them in the air.
