Very nice.  Looks very original.  Even has the front brake option.

Yes, do try to get the frame & motor numbers (might need a mirror to get the motor number)! 

It would also be interesting to know how it got there (belongs to the owner, or just some wimsey of an interior decorator)?

I had never been there before, my wife was just looking for a good place to eat and found a groupon for the place...when we walked in, there it was in all its glory. A waiter told me that it belonged to the owner, and he rode it in there when they hung it up 15 yrs ago. It looked like it was a "rider"....oil and patina. I never thought to try to get the frame and motor #'s. It was hanging up there pretty high and the Hawks were playing Nebraska at the time, so the place was full of Hawkeye fans.

I fixed an Ipad and found two junk batteries in an Amego to be the reason they wouldn't take a charge . That's just in the last day or so , but nothing bike related .

Still too much snow/ice & cold here to tinker with scooters.....it's been an unusual winter for us these days.  We used to have winters like this when I was a kid, but not in years & years. 

Having a Sportsman at Portland will be cool.

The plan was to have it running, but funds are pretty low right now, we'll just have to wait and see how it plays out. Still wanting to build a trailer to pull behind it, but should focus on getting the darn thing running.
