Best inside line latey. Ran into a scrapmetal guy that used to cut the hay on the farm.
Had a truck full of metal and i saw RED!
Turned out to be a 185/200 type with no front fork and all he wanted was scrap price. Even threw in some mounted tires with air since it costs him to throw them out.
This thing still has the orig chainguard in place with the orig clips and NO dents.
He said the forks got mashed early in its life and then got parked..
Then again today, there was another something sitting on a pallet, undoubtedly from him...haven't had time to look yet.
He cleans up peoples places, that they either bought or sold and he says he gets this stuff all the time, and no time to fool with it.
MAKE FRIENDS with your local scrapper and save these trikes from the meltdown.
Question, what should I do with the 15 or so trikes I have that are in various stages of natural death? Most are easy fixes, like tanks and tires which I dont want to put $$ into.
Do the carbs, set up on i.v for fuel and sell them as running on pallets?
I finally have a couple supersimple points 90's ready for 2012, 2 matching virtually zero hour 110. cdi's ,
and a couple full susp big reds that we used ever day year round.
So after 10 years of collecting , we finally have what we need.
What should I do with all the others?
Let them breed some more and use them like duck decoys?
dont really have time to fix or even part out since people only ask for tires, tanks, levers and headlights.
gf would rather I collected stamps, if ya know what I mean.
Thanks
