Schwinn back in the motorbike business

[shovelmike]

My son, a college student expressed interest in a motor scooter to greatly reduce his fuel costs.
During our research into what was available we found that Schwinn makes a scooter. As many may know, Ignatz Schwinn, the company founder, was part of Excelsior- Henderson in 1907. He later opted to concentrate on pedalbikes, but it's good to see that it's come full circle back to basic motorized transportation in a time when we need it most.

I had a schwinn many years ago with a Whizzer motor on it. Not so any more. Schwinn's now i think are made in china and are part of the 2 billion dollars a day we add to our trade deficit.

Just another copy of the original... As you might tell - I like original stuff. Every Corvette I have ever bought I kept original - parts - paint etc. I keep my Harley's Original - thinking it keeps their value......somethings do - some things don't. I hate it when people get all excited about a new something that is an old idea recycled - buy the old stuff - spend the time to restore it and end up with a piece of history instead of China crap.
