This takes a while to load but I think most all will like it. I takes you back in time. I hope you enjoy it. Dean http://oldfortyfives.com/CarsWeDrove.htm ...
Time again for the famous Northeast Texas Slow Ride. Come show off those old step-thrus! We will gather at about 10:00 AM for visiting, eat some of the stew...
I was wondering about this project - rather than building from measurements, maybe modifying a postwar 50-series frame would work....anyone know how close a...
That idea crossed my mind too, Chuck. But a 30-series Autoglide frame might be closer. Recently, Carl mentioned that a model 53 is closer kin to a 30-series...
Interesting - I had a nice 46 Civilian 53A and assumed it was basically the same as a 53 except front fork & springs & no frame brace rods & D-rings....sure...
PS - mine was supposedly a 53A military-purchased Navy flight-line scooter...supposed story is that some late-war scooters were 53A.... ... designation. ... ...
(Gonna out-post Howard today)....let's start reasoning something: if the Civilian 53A was supposedly marketed 1946-48 to utilize the WW2 leftover 53 frame &...
-Hi All, Chuck & Howard When i built my second Airborne i used a 30- series front section. Had to do a lot of work to mate them up. The floor wasn't the same....
Hi all. Rusty, I am terrible on computers, and haven't posted any pictures in a long time, but maybe I would have better luck, if you wanted to forward them...
Chuck, the reason for the 53A Civilian Airborne scooters of 1946, 1947 and just the beginning of 1948 was not really to market "left over" 53 Military frames...
Interesting info...like the story behind the intro of the postwar 48 Harley 125s...later "Hummers" (1955) ...a european design....USA built....we visited with...
We have another new member; novamchd1 who said " I have a 1960 Cushman Silver Eagle and I am the original owner. Thinking about restoring and want to see...
It always warms my heart to hear about somebody who has kept their original Cushman. So many people spend a lot of time and money searching for and restoring...
I just keep learning good stuff. I had always assumed that Harley 125's were made in Austria or Italy or somewhere like that. Where were they built? Howard...
Milwaukee? Harleyhummerclub.org: The Model 125's design was an adaptation of the German DKW motorcycles whose engineering designs were forfeited to the Allies...
Chuck, I'm not any expert on DKW but I knew that they built small cycles as well as continuing to build a cycle like scooter in the 60s....Carpenter has one...
No, but there was an interesting 3-wheel Messerschmidt running around Portland this year....last Harley USA-made "Hummer" type was 1965, like Cushman....then a...
I have pulled my clutch apart believing I needed to reline it, but the lining looks plenty thick - you can see it if you click "2 new pictures" at the top or...
Here is an Autoglide artice with 13 pictures. http://tinyurl.com/3xf2ac I have probably posted this link here before, but with recent discussions about...
As far as I can tell, deleting pictures is impossible. I have a lot of junk in AAA temp that I would like to zap, but no luck. ... the lining looks plenty...
Hi all. Bill, maybe I missed the original question. Is your clutch slipping? If so, maybe even though those linings have substance, maybe they are glazed...
Hi gang. Bill, I can probably delete them, but first want to make sure you didn't want to leave them there at least for the day for any to see. Jack ... the...
Those ol clutches took a lot of abuse and kept on ticking...in 1956, my highschool buddies thought it would be funny to start up my parked 46/52-series before...
Chuck, I have several generator levers w/link. They are N.O.S. If you will send me your address, I will send you one. Tommy ... From: Chuck Maize To:...
