i dont want to start a something on here, but lets put something out there. last week i got my issue of vintage motorbike club magazine. its my understanding that this club is for motorbikes, scooters etc. NOW, i have never been to portland,but i was looking over the winners of the bike show. almost without question, most were cushmans, with a few whizzers. are there not any other kind put in the show or what. like you said, its easy to restore something from a catalog, versus fabbing,rebuilding and generally taking pile of junk and bring it back to what it was when new. anybody have any input
