Guess I will take the unpopular opinion. Pretty unique and well done. If it runs as good as it looks, I don't think he is that far off. It is a legal street bike where he lives that takes some doing.

Heck yeah, I remember them well. I was camping a few years ago and one of the guys we camped next to had just bought a reproduction of one, and let me take it for a spin.
I didn't see much of that or mini's for that matter. In Arkansas you could ride motorcycles at 13 with a permit, so all kinds of Cushmans and some Simplex's and a few Mo peds, and then came the Honda sport 50's in about 64. It exploded after that.

Tom,
Those are what we like to call the good ol days lol. As I recall I got my first mini around 67-68. Problem is, I can't remember what the heck it was.:shrug:
Whatever it was, it had a Briggs on it.
:laugh: Yeah I can still remember what a Cushman Eagle sounds like shifting down and racking em off with the guts out of the muffler. I don't forget the important stuff:laugh::laugh:
