It is the same thing I did before buying. You can go<br>to the yahoo website and look for the group for Cushman Trucksters (of which<br>I am a member). Lots of good dialogue about Cushmans. Also, you may want<br>to see if there is a Cushman dealer in your area (usually sell EZ-GO golf<br>cars and
other makes as well.) Helps if you need parts or maintenance<br>though a good automotive mechanic can work on the engine since it is a<br>actually a small car engine.<br><br>Good advice on Craigslist in general. However, you would probably find that<br>someone intending fraud would not give you their home phone and home address<br>as I will to check out if we should proceed. I for one could not find any<br>Cushmans locally so I had to look for them out of state. I found this<br>Cushman on eBay though it had also been on Craigslist. It did not reach<br>reserve so I contacted the seller and worked out a deal. I shipped it in<br>from Louisiana after talking with the owner about the Cushman and emailing<br>for pictures and details. I can give you the address, email, and phone<br>number of the former owner as well for a complete history. I had a good<br>feeling after conversations with Jim (the former owner) so I
went ahead with<br>the deal and was not sorry I did. But to each his own. You have to feel<br>comfortable with it or don't do it because you will never be satisfied that<br>you did the right thing otherwise. <br><br>If you want to pursue further, I will be glad to talk to you more about it.<br>If not, I understand completely and wish you luck in finding a good three<br>wheeler.<br><br>Sincerely,<br>Steve Clark<br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: <a rel="nofollow">silly_little_cars-bounces@lists.sillylittlecars.com</a><br>[mailto:<a rel="nofollow">silly_little_cars-bounces@lists.sillylittlecars.com</a>] On Behalf Of<br>Brian Lantow<br>Sent: Monday, November 15, 2010 11:27 AM<br>To:

are perfectly legal in<br>Oregon. Not to say you won't have trouble, because the Oregon DMV is<br>staffed by a bunch of monkeys who want to do the least amount of work<br>possible and the monkeys have come to realize that saying no is their ticket<br>to zero effort. The law is in your favor here. If you get a hassle trying<br>to register one, just go to another DMV office with smarter monkeys.<br> <br>In Oregon you can register a 3 wheeler like a Cushman/Go-4 as a motorcycle.<br>If the vehicle is "enclosed" you don't need a helmet or a motorcycle<br>endorsement. <br>
<br>You will not get anyone from the Oregon DMV or ODOT to firmly commit to<br>exactly what "enclosed" is. Along with avoiding work, the monkeys also<br>avoid accountability.<br> <br>If your Cushman has a top and doors, it is enclosed. If you take the doors<br>off but leave the top on, is it still enclosed? The DMV has refused to<br>answer. You will just get the runaround. <br> <br>That all said, I have owned many different Cushman of all styles and have<br>never had a hassle from law enforcement. I take the doors off in the summer<br>and continue to ride with no helmet. If I take both the top and doors off,<br>I wear a helmet. By the way, many cities have "motorcycle only" parking,<br>which you can legally use. Very handy.<br> <br>In Oregon you should have no problem registering a Cushman and in my<br>experience you will get no trouble from law enforcement.<br> <br>They are a great
vehicle for plowing around town, I am surprised more people<br>don't have them.<br> <br> <br>Bob<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br><br> ----- Original Message ----- <br> From: Brian Lantow <mailto:<a rel="nofollow">lantow@comcast.net</a>> <br> To: <a rel="nofollow">silly_little_cars@lists.sillylittlecars.com</a> <br> Sent: Friday, November 12, 2010 11:14 AM<br> Subject: [Silly Little Cars] street legal in Oregon?<br><br> New poster (hope the WSJ article didn't ruin things).
