    If you see me on the trail, well you better stay back

    That's way too cool. I've been trying to find out what kind of motorcycle my grandfather used to ride, maybe I'll post some pics here and see if anyone can identify it. I'd like to buy the same motorcycle for vintage racing.

    Great picks!

    Those guys never had to worry about 48 vs 49 tooth sprockets, desert vs trail tires, Scotts vs suspension work first. Not to mention my personal favorite "which handguard is the best".

    I didi the same thing DD, with a Yamaha 90cc twin. !
    That little sucker had pistons the size of pop bottle caps.
    That Cushman I'll bet was heavy.
    Cool thread,too. Doug
