Brown Ford: CSC’s Newest Dealer!

Eddie Brown and his 1939 Ford, winning the 2010 Texas Rock-N-Rumble Best of Show award!

We’re proud to announce that Brown Ford in Cordell, Oklahoma, is California Scooter Company’s newest authorized dealer.  When Steve told me about it, I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised…lots of dealers are adding California Scooter to their lineup…but a Ford automobile dealer?  We recently had another car dealer join the team (Continental Motors, in Oceanside, California), too.   I wondered why car dealers are picking us up…I’ve not seen this with other motorcycle marques.   I called Brown’s to get the straight scoop – I wanted to find out why a car dealer selling one of America’s best brands (Ford, which is really doing well) wanted to sell motorcycles, too.   I asked for the owner and in a few seconds Eddie Brown, Jr., was on the line.

Eddie’s story is not too much different than many of our other riders…he’s a long time car and motorcycle enthusiast, and he found our California Scooters very much to his liking.   Eddie told me he also owns a few other motorcycles and two vintage Mustangs (the motorcycles, not the cars), and that he had a Mustang motorcycle when he was 15.  When I asked how he heard about us, Eddie told me one of his good riding buddies (R.B. Mathis) is a preacher, and Reverend Mathis told him about the California Scooter Company.   I guess you could say the good Reverend is spreading the California Scooter gospel!  Eddie told me one of the several motorcycles he ordered for his dealership is going to RB.  How cool is that!

On another note, did you know that July is National Women’s Motorcycle Month?   Well, I didn’t know it, either, but I should have, because our California Scooters may very well be the perfect vehicle for both women and men.   Women seem to just naturally love these bikes, especially the low seat height, the light weight, and the stunning styling.   I do, too.  I love my Triumph Tiger, but truth be told, that bike is a 600-lb monster, and pushing it out of the garage is a bit intimidating.   I can wheel my 240-lb CSC Classic around with one hand, and these days nearly all of my two-wheeled miles are on a California Scooter.  Anyway, back to the National Women’s Motorcycle Month…this was on the Today show.   I’m not a big fan of talk shows, but this clip caught my eye, and I thought you might enjoy it, too.

One last note…the local papers are picking up the story on our California Scooter motorcycle design competition.   I’ll give you the link and all the details tomorrow!
