My name is Scooter. My mother went into premature labor after my Mom and Dad had an accident on their 1948 Cushman scooter in Japan Mar 20th 1949. She just passed away Oct. 13, 2011. When the doctor asked her what color was her scooter she said red. I never knew that all these years.
I had so much trouble getting this thing to run, then to start at all. Turned out to be a condenser. Since I was afraid of Cushman condensers being old, I retrofitted a new one from AutoZone outside the flywheel on the back of the housing. Shoulda made a video of it. Stanroc
@dirtbike5100 Yes, street legal, 100%. But I don't take it on streets with over a 35MPH limit. It'd be great in my hometown, because all the streets are 25 & 35 speed limit. That's Sioux City, Iowa. Here in the Phoenix metro area, traffic's very heavy and everyone's in a BF hurry. Dangerous.
I don't have an Eagle. I did several years ago and it had an 18 hp Vanguard V-Twin in it, but I have no Eagle anymore and I have no Eagle on youtube. Thanks anyway.
@Stanroc Hey Rockie in Arizona, VI member Gary Barker here. Both of your motorsickles are nice. I had a 1954 Sears allstate (built by Cushman) when I was kid, always wanted one again (maybe one day)! I ride a 346 also. Type in salthawg on Utube and you can see seven videos of my 346, I live on the Mississippi coast and ride mine daily. Ride safe Gary Barker
WOW!! BEAUTIFUL!!! I love that scooter AND your EAGLE on the other video!!! ... mine is a yellow 57 Iron Eagle, greetings from Detroit Mi. ride with pride and safety !!
The black frame around the image is jumping to compensate for the movement of the camera that took the original images for the DVDs. It is a little Sony videocam and that's pretty good logic inside it to know to try to smooth out the subject of the picture. Stan

@asa6949 Scooter, I am sorry buddy that you lost your mom. If she rode a Cushman, pilot or navigator seat, she was one cool girl! Neat story!

If Only This Bike Was A Motorcycle song by the RUMBLE STRIPS, from Holland. The music was put on this video by Eric, who video'd my ride.
