My oldest brother Wayne Allums owned a 1959 Cushman . I was only 6 years old then . I loved it when he would take me for a ride. His next bike was a 1963 305 honda dream . Unfortunately he was killed in a Chinook crash May 6 of 1969 in Vietnam. I really appreciate you guys that are restoring these old Cushman’s. They’re really cool little bikes . Greetings from south east Alabama ☮️❤️
You saved it. The stories locked in THAT thing we'll Never Hear. A piece of America that, unlike America back then,is here with us .Americana. Shit PEOPLE Dont Understand . I'd Gladly Own it. And ride it Everyday. If not for Fun and Nostalgia; a Big FTW.
W😎W absolutely amazing Cushman Silver Egeal edition, , I owned a 1958 , but not that edition , there's a bleeder valve at the bottom of the gas bowl ( pet cock ) you open it a quarter of a turn to let the air out of the gas line , and that will fill the bowl, mine had the chrome dual exhaust , And They sounded the same, all cunkity clunk clunk, 🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸 ♦️♦️♦️ Posting in Honorable and loving memories of Freddy and Betty ♥️ Richards / Chicagoland cycles

@@GarageBoundLLC I was being generous with the $2000.00 offer, $1500.00 would be a more reasonable price. But thanks anyway. Good luck someone else may think it’s worth more to them.

Awesome!
Those little Cushmans are nice. I own several different models and lots of parts. That is a very nice example 👍
Love the video!! I have a 1957 Cushman Eagle too and I absolutely love the thing :)
Glad to see others that love these tiny little scooters 😎
bought a new 1957 Cushman 5 hp version my first vehicle, great scooter drove the crap out of it never a issue.
The dream bike of boys when I was a kid.

@@davidstaudohar6733 well, thanks for your service. Just when you think things can get no worse or corrupt they do!
Dude, I love it!
Have you gotten one yet?
@@GarageBoundLLC lol, not yet. Too many irons in the fire already.
It's a beauty!
Thanks!

Cant believe he sold that for $500 🤕
That was a joke
Is that fourstroke? And how many cc ?
excellent
I got one year 1954 red same thing top speed 55 mph they are fast
And fun!
I had a 57 eagle I would race a kid on a Honda rt 70 . He'd beat me on take off but once the eagle was wound up id blow by him
I think she will ride it
I do at least once a week!
The rear tire is really out of round !
Tell the guy that bought it I will give him $2000.00 for it.
You can have it for 5k!
