So was mine. Since it was ridden on desert roads a lot, the scooter was
constantly in the shop having dirt cleaned out of the transmission. I'm
guessing I was fourteen which would have been in 1960 when I got it
slightly used. It passed away when my best friend borrowed it and plowed
into the back of a slow moving car on main street while being distracted
by something (possibly a girl). He was OK but the scooter wasn't.
I think dad projected me into the situation and passed on two wheeled
transportation for me from then on. ISTR the seat being red and the
fairing black and white, but I could be wrong. Perhaps the hubs were red.
