Cruiser type bike, no badge that I could see. It had two “headlights” that were factory. The chainguard says “Toronado” (not Tornado) and also has a C to C logo superimposed over a simplified outline of the USA. I’m having trouble uploading pics. If I don’t get any good leads in a day or so, I’ll try again. Thanks. ---

Assuming c to c over map of US would be Coast to Coast, I searched for that plus Toronado. This message board thread has some info if you scroll down a bit.

Here’s a pic. It doesn’t have that weird frame, it’s more of a standard looking bike.
