This is what happens when you leave Monty unattended in the shop too long! Monty's uncle Bob owned a Cushmann way back when, and Monty always admired that old photo and wished he had the time to restore one.
Well, Monty decided fabricating a 'Klausmann' from the floor up would be a fun winter project.
He started by finding an old headlight on eBay and then built the scooter from there. He designed and fabricated everything, the handle bars, the seat, the trunk, rivets, even the paint job is his, everything.
Next he took it in to the DMV and got it titled and licenced. The 'Maiden Voyage' was a success, I followed him on my Vespa around the block!
To me it looks like a 'Converse Tennis shoe'! You should see the looks as he drives it down the highway!
The other photo is the 1928 Harley Davidson, (made by Monty). This is pretty much what the first Motorcycles looked like.
The Newest Addition: 2009 Suzuki Bergman 650. Monty's wanted a ride as nice as mine!

I can't wait to see the Rat Fink out on the open road! You will leave crashes galore in your wake because people will be staring so hard at your creation.
