Default 1960 Topper

Local dealer has a 1960 HD Topper. Psychotically overpriced but freakin' cool.

I had a black one when I was a kid back in 71 wish I still had it. It was a two stroke and my brother and I took the muffler off to make it sound cool. LOL

Click the link in the OP, they want $10K

Reminds me of my old 2 stroke dirt bikes, you need to use premix gas. Sure is a clean machine though.

Those old scooters are collectible and bring some decent $$$. Go to E-bay and search for Cushmans, Toppers or Wizzers.
