Scott Snaden
 
Scott lives in New Mexico. He's a sculptor and teacher, born in Arizona, grew up in Africa and spent much of his adult life in Asia. He's now back in the US so his daughter can get a quality education. His first bike was a '48 Triumph. Scott owns not only a CJ, but a Donghai 750 as well.

Alex Avezbakiyev will soon be receiving a package from Beijing. This is his new M1 being crated for shipment by CJS. (You can see more pictures of this bike on Alex's page.)
All ready to go!
 
Here's an M1S CJ CJS is building with an Afrika Korps theme..
Almost finished. Check out the M72 style sidecar frame.
 
Scott's Dong Hai came with this cool Chinese ownership/registration card, similar to the one seen on Orvo's page.
It was inside this blue wallet. The Chinese text says "Peoples Republic of China Motor Vehicle Operating Card".
Scott wanted a similar card for his CJ and made this one on his computer. If any of you would like one for your bike, Scott will crank one out for $15. His e-mail address is picts66@yahoo.com
 
Scott's getrting ready to do a beauty makeover on his Chang. Here's the gas tank logo he designed. It uses the Chinese characters seen further down this page. This is the same logo Mark Fisher is using on his toolbox cover.
 
Around Beijing they use a colloquialism for sidecar bikes which means, roughly, "mother's cradling arms". Scott sent this tidbit along with the Chinese representation.
Scott has worked the characters into a series of gas tank emblems. The enlarged version will show you four variations.
 
Scott had these boxes manufactured.
This image shows how they're hinged in the back.
This is how they attach to the rear seat pedestal.
Same thing, different angle. Neat!
 
Scott's site Used Worldwide had a great photo album of CJ images taken in China. These guys are members of the Beijing Knights MC.
Another Beijing Knights ride.
Also from Scott's site is this image of a guy named Li on a CJ. Look at the forks, and what's that silver box on the side of the engine?
Same bike, different rider. This time Yuan poses for Scott's camera.
This is one of the neatest CJ mods I've ever seen. The frame has been lengthened, among other things. It reminds me very much of a pre-war American bike.
Another image from UW showing a well used, bone stock M1. This bike looks like it really earned its keep.
One more shot from UW. This is a CJ repair shop. The enlarged image shows around 10 bikes.
 
Scott's M1M, taken when Scott was living in the Far East.
Now Scott's residing in New Mexico, and here's how his bike looks today.
You can't much more military looking than this!
Scott is importing CJ tool boxes from China. The left side boxes are used while the right side boxes will be new. If you're interested, click here to send him some e-mail.
 
An early shot of Scott's CJ. Check out those crash bars!
Unusual gas tank emblem on Scott's bike.
