    How can you even ride a bike shaped like that with your butt higher than the handle bars?

Pretty cool machines and probably why they still make them. Dad looked into getting one for some of the places we use to hunt in up in the Yolla Bolly wilderness. Shear, steep with shale but beautiful and Big Bucks. Had to rent a burrow from the pack train guys to get one of dads off the back side of No. Yolla Bolly one time and even the burrow had a hard time.

    Yep their not cheap
    Care to take a guess at what my 1962 Cushman Truxter with the original engine and trans would be worth if I were to restore it?
    the sheet metal is 60% rotted away so will be fabricating all new tins for it but the engine turns over and has good compression the gears in the transmission all work

    I won't tell you about the Cushman carnage my uncle has wrot over the years of junk yard fabricating. The twin aposed powered tractor he built was my favorite. Too bad I did not have a camera back then. Next time I go over to his house I must get pics of the high track mini dozer he built. I will post them if I can.
