Martin and Jane Stafford hosted a great meet . The weather was wonderful and they had a turn out of 12 scooters. Thanks to Margaret Trevino for sharing her pictures. Full story in next newsletter.
Sorry for this last picture being lower resolution.
As a Charter member of the Cushman club, Horace will be missed. 
Martin and Jane Stafford invite you to Loop for 2 days of rides and visiting.
The Loop Community Building has been reserved for the Cushman weekend. There are camper hookups by the building if you want to camp. Brownfield or Lamesa have hotels if you need a room.
On Friday, March 4 there will be a poker ride that will meet and leave at 9:00am or as soon as it is warm enough. A morning ride will follow the poker ride. This ride will end in Seminole for lunch. The afternoon will be open so you can enjoy the company or a ride. Supper will be at a local restaurant or on your own.
On Saturday, March 5, Martin and Jane will provide breakfast burritos at 8:30 at the Community Building. A poker run is scheduled to leave at 9:00. A morning ride will follow the poker run.
Further plans will develop. The weather forecast looks good and we hope you will come for this first planned ride in West Texas area.
I have added the Texas Tiddler’s Ride to the Calendar of Events and a PDF file icon titled Tiddlers.jpg will be at the bottom of this post to download for the registration.
In December I received this from Dennis Leggett:
“We are hosting a 200 mile road enduro in East Texas on May 14, 2015. It will be the Texas Tiddler Endurance Run, with two 100 mile sections, one to start at 8:00 am and finish at 12:00 noon, break for lunch, leave at 2:00 pm and finish at 6:00. This is an opportunity for enthusiasts to bring out their little bikes for a fun day in the Piney Woods! There are four classes-Class I is 0-60cc machines, Class II is 61-125cc, Class III is 126-250cc and Class IV is for stock Cushman scooters. Pre 1990 machines can add 2 points for each year before 1990 (ie a 1960 model gets 60 points). Class I bikes leave on the hour (8:00 for the start), Class II & IV on the half hour (8:30), Class III on the second hour (9:00). This gives the smallest bikes 4 hours to complete 100 miles. There may be secret checkpoints and skills and chance contests to make it interesting. The start and finish will be at Boles Field Recreational Area in the Sabine National Forrest near Shelbyville, Texas and the mid point will be at Sawmill Town USA in Newton, Texas. If this is something the Texas Cushman Club would be interested in please let me know. Thanks, Dennis Leggett Texas Cushman #11, Cushman Club of America #77.”
This has been sent by Ross Murphy:
“Here is an event thats coming up here in East Texas in May. There is a special class for stock Cushmans. Dennis Leggett is a member of the Texas Cushman Club and is hosting this event. This is the second year that he had had this. It is a single day ride of about 200 miles. Doug Moore and I rode this last year and it’s a hard day of riding. I would like to see a lot more Cushmans this year. Hopefully if you could put this on the website we could generate more interest. Thanks

When Raymond and I would attend Cushman events in the decade of the 1990s, we would see this sweet girl with her grandparents.
This is Jennifer Wyatt. Her grandparents, Ben and Gene Sargent, were faithful to include grandchildren in their trips to Cushman meetings.
She and Tyler Johnson married and began their own family. And their own Cushman traditions.
Tyler has restored a Silver Eagle with Ben’s guidance and help. Here is Wyatt showing off his joy of knowing this scooter will provide him and his dad more fun in the coming days and years.
Jennifer has been involved with the Cushman friends all these years. Her college degree in teaching will give her more skills that will make her a Newsletter Editor extroidaire. Jennifer will need your help: to make her a Great Editor, you are asked to send information, calendar events, and news. Use the texascushmaneditor@gmail.com email.
From James Press, President:
Our search for a new Texas Cushman Club Editor is over! The officers and board members have been recruiting for a while now, and I want to announce that Jennifer Johnson has graciously accepted the position as club Editor. I think we can say Jennifer has been a part of the Texas Cushman Club since she was an infant. With Ben and Eugenia Sargent as her grandparents, we can safely say she has been indoctrinated quite well regarding Cushmans and the Texas Cushman Club. She and her husband Tyler are regulars at our state meets and many of our local meets, so she will be an asset to our club. Please join me in thanking Jennifer for her willingness to serve our club in this capacity.
Jimmy Hubbard lives in Garland and wants to have fellow Cushman riders join him in some rides in March or April or May or whenever you want to ride. He has been riding the local roads and has discovered several FM roads with little traffic. He likes to ride 70-75 miles and has stops figured out.
I have searched the membership list and found members in Terrell, Mesquite, Allen, Plano, and Dallas. As with most of Texas, this does not mean they are close in location.
If you want to connect with Jimmy, please call him at 972-682-3985.
Tommy Goode and Richard Kesselus spent their time this summer preparing the Pull Sled. There are pictures from the State Meet that show pull games in the rain. Here are some “work in progress” to remind us of their dedication. And maybe make us feel warmer on this cold day in January.
The Concho Area club had a great turn-out of 16 people for their New Year’s luncheon. At 40 degrees, there were no riders. This was a time of visiting and enjoying our friends.
There will be a picture added to this WHEN I can get the picture from my new camera to the computer. And now here they are!!!
Happy New Year!
