With the economy booming, the locals got into a frenzy over Japanese-made 50cc scooters. In those days, recalls Ku, there was only one dealer in the area, located over in Meinung Township. Every morning a crowd of people waited outside the dealer's door for the shop to open, and some people actually slept outside on straw mats to be sure they were first through the door in the morning.
旗山再次繁榮，當時最拉風的日本進口 50cc 摩托車蔚為風潮，古德福記得，那時唯一的一家經銷商在隔壁美濃鎮上，每天一開門就湧進搶購機車的人潮，甚至有人拿著草蓆棉被漏夜排隊。
