Sweet, but those clubmans looks uncomfy.

i actually find clubmans to be quite comfy, but opinions vary for sure. on my V50 guzzi they are awesome, i can rest my elbows on my knees...

but i also have a Paul Smart, so everything is comfy in comparison

I always thought that those were some of the best looking crancases in all of motorcycledom...

Here's a 1966 60cc Allstate (made by PUCH) that I sold a couple of years ago. It was completely original, even with the original Continental tires. The grips and footpegs were not scratched; it had never fallen over...

I bought a Sears 106 at the auvtion at vintage days ,Mid-Ohio, years ago.It was complete put somewhat neglected. I had several people show intrest in it as I pushed it from the aution tent, across the bridge and down into the garages to # 22.
I sort of fell out of love with as I pushed because the rear tire was very low and the front was flat. To anyone that expressed intrest , I offered it up for sale. No takers.
In the pits I blew up the tires and front tube was shot so a quick tour of the swapmeet netted the nessesary tube. I cleaned the carb and flushed the tank and checked for spark.
In short order the tire was fixed ,the bike was running and as a bonus the lights and horn all worked!
The bad news was when I rode it there was a steady knock from the bottom end. And the warmer it got the louder the knock.
The big end bearing in these motors is a bushing and this one was done.When I changed the oil it looked not unlike copper grease. It sits waiting for me to get intrested again.

I had a Sears 60cc Puch also. Mine was a 62 or 63. It was red. Bought the summer after sophomore year of h.s. with paper route $.
I liked the bike, but hated the transmission (3 speed). Fun offroad.
The Honda sport 50 with a 4spd. became available around the same time and was pretty much bullet proof.
The scene was about to change real fast.
