Sorry, posted this in the wrong place the first time. Oh well, gettin' to be an old guy so you've gotta' excuse that, right?
Hello all. New to the group. Live in Ohio. Have been a rider since I was a kid, gave it up about 8 years ago because I started feeling like there was a target painted on my back! Got rid of the bike, the aerostitch, and even let my MSF Instructor certification run out! (Kept the helmets, though!) Last year the gas prices started going up so I decided to find a cheap commuter bike and found a '75 CL360 for $375. Since then I've gained a deep respect for the bike and it's capabilities; what a great little ride! I've been reading and lurking here for some time and thought I'd jump in and say howdy.
It's amazing how my 360 keeps losing parts! First it was the air box/cleaners, then it was the side covers, Then the front fender, then the mufflers, then the tool box, then all of the old engine phillips-head screws were replaced w/ hex-heads, and on it goes. Once I get the '59 Cushman three-wheeler I'm working on done I' think a whole bunch of excess brackets are going to disappear from the frame, too.
Keep up the good work on your bikes, I enjoy all the posts and pix. Ridesolo in Ohio
