my cushman scooter

my winter project this year was a 1958 cushman pacemaker custom restoration. it was a real rolling pile of crap when i bought it last year for $350.00. my wife thought i got screwed. i finished it yesterday and took it for a test ride today. it turned out and runs absolutely perfect. i hate to brag but it is impeccable and very fast. after a $5000.00 dollar investment, and many hours of work. it is now powered by an electric start, harborfreight honda clone engine that is higly modified, 400cc, cam , ported, milled head, billet rod, moly push rods 34 millimeter mikuni flatslide, and valve springs. it also has a comet cvt drive. don't ask for pics cuz i don't know how to do them. bill

Until Bill gets the pics of his scooter posted this may hold you over. It's my pit scooter. A 1956 Cushman step through powered by a big block 8 hp electric start Briggs. Hence the wing on the rear to keep the rear tire planted. I built it from a bare frame. (Notice my dragster is jealous and trying to got in the shot) The scooter will run an 18 second 1/8 mile at 32 mph. I have a barn fresh 1957 Eagle I need to get going. Been thinking of just getting it running and riding it as a rat scooter.

A 1958 Cushman Eagle was my first motor bike. Paid $350.00 for it brand new. Whish I, still had that scooter now or at least some pictures of it.

I always wanted a Cushman Eagle..they were very popular in Alabama in the late 1950's (yeah, I'm old). Would love to have one as well....

Don't feel bad, it took me forever and at times I still have problems.

But here's how I post a pic. I download my photo's on photobucket. Then...when you click reply at the top where it says 'add tags'.....see the little picture above of a picture....between the world and the envelope. You have to copy a pic from photobucket (be sure and resize so the 'you're pics are too big' cops don't get you)...then you click on the little picture thing (when you scroll over it - it says insert image). Next you put your blinking curser between the 2 sets of brackets that appear and select paste this time. Make sure you only have one set of [IMG] thingys on each side of the pic. I usually then click preview to see if it worked.
Hope this helps. I'm also not the best at explaining things. If my explanation is a litte confusing maybe on of these here computer geeks we have on here will jump in. ;)
