Our American Picker!

Being our chief engineer, Steve likes to make our product designs authentic, and he’s not afraid to reach back to the original Mustang days for inspiration.  As you know from watching our blog, we have a very exciting CSC trike project in work right now.  It’s so exciting, in fact, that even the world-famous Cyril Huze blog picked up the story a week or so ago, and Cyril’s blog elicited quite a few comments.  This new CSC concept is getting a lot of attention.

An Original Mustang DeliverCycle

Anyway, back to our story…Steve located a fellow who had a basket case Mustang DeliverCycle for sale (the DeliverCycle was the original Mustang trike), so Steve fired up his truck, pointed it north, and blitzed out over the weekend to buy it.  Steve’s intent is to use our new Mustang three-wheeler as a model and an inspiration for further development on our trike.

The Boss had a great surprise, though…the fellow from whom he purchased the DeliverCycle had a virtual museum and classic bike parts repository under his roof.  He’s been collecting cool stuff for decades, and Steve got the grand tour.  Steve told me there were bikes and bike parts everywhere…bikes inside the house, engines in the living room, bikes in the basement, and lots more cool stuff.  If you’ve ever watched that great TV show, American Pickers, you gotta know that this place would make for a great episode.  We love that show and we watch it every chance we get (I’ll bet if you’re reading this blog, you do, too!).

My words wouldn’t do Steve’s photos justice, so I’ll just show the photos Steve grabbed for our blog.  The very last photo shows the new-to-us Mustang DeliverCycle in our CSC “SkunkWorks” development area. 

Steve, it looks to us like you are having entirely too much fun!   Thanks for grabbing these great photos.   We (and apparently the rest of the motorcycle industry) are going to be watching how this story develops!
