Bill's been riding his Whizzer to Donut Derelicts for over a year now with no mechanical problems except belt adjustments. I sold him an ooga horn he's pretty proud of.

Well, yesterday Bill bought himself a great birthday present. He purchased 2 Whizzers off craigslist from a guy in Chino who has several others. You may have seen them listed. I haven't seen them in person yet, but I'll get some photos when I can.

Met up with Bill and Bill Jr. at Donut Derelicts this morning to check out their new Whizzers. A couple of nice rides with lots of patina and both non Schwinns. Firestone and Columbia I think they said. Shoulda took photos of the badges. We'll be seeing a lot more of these as they make a few repairs and upgrades.

Both are nice. The one on the truck has the early motor mounts(Firestone bike?),and the one on the ground has the later rubber mounts (Columbia bike? ) I got serial numbers for the Columbia if needed.

Thanks Ray. The one on the truck was purchased not running and they bought a coil from Ron and it has spark now. A few more things needed before a start up.

Oh no! Bill was starting his Whizzer to ride it to Donut Derelicts and his foot slipped off the pedal and broke a bone. I guess he'll have to show up in one of his many Studebakers for a while. Could be worse.
