Jim Lehers new book freatures an old Cushman scooter.

Slang, a good buddy of mine rode from Savannah, Ga all the way up there and back for that ride.

I am heading to Biketoberfest in Daytona, Fl on Thurs. I should have a load of pics to share when I come back next week.

Well it was a great long weekend. I have about 700 pics to choose from. I will try to get them posted to a pic host site in the next few days if anyone wants to see them.

My dad's a Harley man. He just back from doing the dragon on his brand new bike - got rid of the roadking for something a little easier on my mom's ass...

He's pictures 68-72.

What the hell is that?

vw

Yeah, VW engine, but what is it in? Custom one-off or adaption of another application?

Muahahaha! I *thought* that'd throw you.
BigV and xoB, you're partially right.
Those are vdub heads on a beemer motor, and trany (note the shaft drive) in an Indian frame. At least that's what I was told, I'm not a biker. The way I drive I need four wheels under me.
Apparently this guy is a beemer man, threw this all together, and has been riding it for years! I was told he's put over 300,000 miles on it.

I don't think so. That's no Beemer motorcycle engine. Did BMW make a flat 4, air-cooled, car engine?

I surely don't know, that's just what I was told.
I don't know much about 2-wheelers.
Now that you mention it, that pulley/distributor configuration *does* look like the back of a bug. Maybe he mated it to the trany.

Well here they are, I hope you all enjoy!

*Now* I recall, BMW cylinders and trany on a veedub block.

That makes more sense. Hell of a project, anyway. Thanks for the pictures.
