Cushman TURTLE BACK description



 You are buying a late 1940's RatRod Style Cushman Step Thru motor scooter. I got this scooter pretty much as you see it but as a roller. I installed a newer 110cc electric start engine with an automatic drive (no shifting just give it gas and go) new front tire, battery, chain, front sprocket, taillight and cables. This scooter has a rear foot controlled brake and it works pretty good but I have collected most of the original factory Cushman parts for an optional front brake and I will include them with the bike. This bike starts right up and rides easy and both headlight and taillight work (12volt) and it is also wired for a brake light it just need a switch. This bike has a top speed of about 35mph max and gets there very quick and will climb any hill you throw at it from a dead stop. This thing reminds me of riding an old 1970's mini bike but with lots more low end power it rides good but has some road noise and rattles its pretty noisy mainly the front fender and kickstand vibrates. The rocker bushings in the front forks are worn and have some play and the rear tire has somewhat of a flat spot it still rides ok but would ride better if these issues were fixed the rear tire is a common size and can be bought for around $30 and the rocker bushings are available through Dennis Kirk for around $20. I have some extra parts that will be included with the sale like the original taillight assembly, blue dot kit, masterlink, front brake parts, extra rims and hubs, original exhaust, and some N.O.S. handle bars. Please take your time and use the zoom feature on each picture so you can see the exact condition of what you are buying and please feel free to ask questions and for more pics if needed before buying , BOTTOM LINE THIS THING RUNS RIDES AND STOPS GOOD AS IT IS BUT COULD USE SOME WORK IT IS WHAT PEOPLE REFER TOO AS A RATROD IT IS RUSTY AND CRUSTY IT IS NOT INTENDED FOR HIGH SPEED RIDING AND IS GEARED FOR LOW END POWER IT WOULD MAKE A GREAT PIT BIKE FOR THE DRAG RACES OR SOMETHING TO RIDE AROUND THE SWAPMEETS AND CAR SHOWS BUT NOT AN EVERYDAY DRIVER. Also I can supply a bill of sale if needed but I do not have a title and am not even sure if it ever came with one. Thanks for looking.

After many trips to Italy, CorsaVino founder Arun Sharma, was exposed to Italian winemakers passion and obsession for quality and the detail that goes in to creating a fine wine.  Sharma, felt this kind of dedication resonated deeply with his appreciation for Italian motorcycles and sought out acclaimed winemaker Rich Cushman who also happened to have a passion for Italian motorcycles and started the CorsaVino winery. You can order this motorcycle branded wine through the CorsaVino website, prices range from $24-$55, but if you ride don’t drink and if you drink don’t ride. Source
