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. |

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. |
