AAA Cushman, 1949 model 65 ridden by Stan Rocklin

How you like my 1949 Cushman, made in Lincoln, Nebraska? BE SURE TO ALSO SEE MY VIDEO OF ME ON THE 1946 INDIAN MOTOCYCLE!! Unfortunately the video guy could not or has not yet been able to post his file of the DVD he made for me here. So this is from my videocam which I used to tape the show from my computer screen.

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.

@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!

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

Pretty neat, are they street legal?

[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.

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.

@Stanroc Yeah I don't think I'd wanna go much faster than that on one of those either!

@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

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.
