Post by: beauduke01 on March 21, 2008, 01:09:52 PM
ok, so i was helping a customer yesterday, and he said "that your bike out there?"   i said yea and he said"i got a deal for you....i got 10 or 12 bikes in my back yard i need to get rid of, some with title some without, even got a couple ninjas out there" i told him i only could prolly get one since i got somewhat limited funds right now, i couldnt afford to get them all like he wanted, and he replied...youd be suprized what id take, the he said hed prolly let them all go for$600. so i called my brothers and were going tonight to look at them, so ebay may be flooded with stuff i dont want here real quick.

went and looked after work, most of the bikes are big mid 80's rice cruisers but had about 4 that had potential, the other 5 need ALOT  of work. so still mulling it over

You shoulda took a pic  :icon_mrgreen:

9 bikes For $600  :dunno_white: If you have the room I dont think you could go wrong. Part em all out on ebay and sell the leftover bits for scrap metal. Hell scrap is so high $$ right now I wouldn't doubt that you could get $80 or so out of each bike. We just took 2 MC frames from work in for scrap and got about $65  :thumb:

That'll probably look pretty good. You happen to have a cbr450 and I'll buy it off ya.  What else is there that ya gotta pick up???
