> I don't know how many thousands of scooter collectors will converge on Charlotte, North Carolina this weekend and all next week, but I know that most of us will bring more than one scooter. The average will be about four scooters per collector. So if you hear a low-pitched rumble anywhere in that area, it might be a "ride" including 300 to 500 Cushman motor scooters. These old scooters don't buzz or whine, they rumble. You might even want to drop by the track (Lowes Motor Speedway) and look over some of the displays.

> Last time at Charlotte, I rode my 1947 Cushman around the big track 14 times. I plan to break that record this time with my 1963 Cushman Eagle. I might even do a few laps on my 1953 Allstate DeLuxe.

> This is the annual meet of the Cushman Club of America, which has more than 6000 active members. If one third of them show up with an average of four scooters each, there could be 8000 scooters there. That's not as far-fetched as it sounds. Normally, almost all 50 states are represented at the annual meet. This show will make your average antique car show look rather mundane.
