Ok, let's stop it right now. You guys are really out of control at this point. If you want to look at that pile and enjoy it, by all means go ahead. I'll go watch some beautiful naked women doing filthy, filthy things.

01-09-2011, 10:59 PM

wow thats sick..i might take a road trip down there..what are the prices like?

HuffieVA

01-09-2011, 11:20 PM

Thought you guys might like this. It's in Asheboro NC. Been around since I was racing quads back in the 80's. I figured it had closed but apparently not. As you can see bikes all around the shop. Looks like a ton of stuff inside just looking in the window. A friend of mine said he had all kinda stuff at his house too. I'll try to get down there this week when he's open and get more pics and info.

I don't want to trespass on your claim, But I'd be more than happy to make a road trip from Richmond to take a look and see what I can find, I love junkyards my old lady calls me crazy all the time I could spend the day just looking around and taking pictures, usually its old cars/trucks but then I've never really came across a pile of trikes quite like that before... If you don't mind, after you take another look and feel the guy out, let me/us know I don't mind paying a fair price, I'm not expecting freebies, and there has to be some oddball trinkets in a pile that big...

fritzy

01-09-2011, 11:33 PM

HEY man Im in Monroe just south east of charlotte... IM foaming at the mouth to climb through all that stuff... Left me know where it is if you can... My wife would be so pissed at me when I got home from there......

01-09-2011, 11:40 PM

i bet within a week all the trike stuff is going to be gone. 3ww has that reputation. theres lots of good parts there and full trikes, that 250r i would snatch real quick and get it running then the other parts bikes would either be restored or sold for profit.

forgot to bring up that pipe on the quad, high dollar there.

chrisand4

01-09-2011, 11:53 PM

Wow, i've been needing parts for my 200, looks like i'm gonna make a trip.

jrush

01-09-2011, 11:56 PM

Store hours said Wed, Thur, Fri. Got somebody to work for me Wed so I'm gonna go back and check him out. Damn I can't wait!

Xowner

01-10-2011, 12:50 AM

Come on guys, this stuff aint been picked over and looks like some of the stuff has been there a long time. That equals most of the time PRICE TO HIGH or wont sell!

Chazz of Blades

01-10-2011, 01:28 AM

Or maybe not many people know/want three wheeler stuff.

Thats why barn finds are great.

portland250r

01-10-2011, 02:31 AM

if only it was by my area i can bet most the stuff would be gone when i was done.

01-10-2011, 03:30 AM

Sitting out in the weather, what a shame. Wish there was places like this In australia.

swifty

01-10-2011, 12:15 PM

im with xowner theres a reason most all those trikes are pretty complete or that much stuff is there its way over priced otherwise it would be picked over and gone theres no hope of buying say one of those parts machines for even like $400 im sure he wants $90 for a rusty smashed gas tank maybe im wrong but ive seen this many times before and that tha vibe im getting but its definitly a cool place someone check it out and see what prices are like and let us know

Dirtcrasher

01-10-2011, 12:52 PM

Stuff left outside is usually junk, but worth checking it out; Just don't get too amped up about it.

There could be a rare part in there somewhere but you better know what your looking at............

Went back down there today. Ton of bikes that have just sat for years. The guy that owns the place is 80 years old. Nice guy but doesn't seem in any hurry to get rid of anything. Think you gotta know him and catch him on the right day kinda thing. I did buy one thing that may be a good find and I took some more pics. I'll try and post em later.

say he was kinda a hoarder? lol lol man i hope hes not a jerk an lets me spend all my money there an get into trouble with the ole lady.. hahaha thats exactly what i need...

Hoarder seems to be the right word. Pics are coming.

xrider

01-12-2011, 09:13 PM

I have a NOS set on the shelf for my '86 250r as well. They look pretty weird the way they slope down on the rear by the grab bar, but still a good low pro fender.

Didn't happen to see any Tecate's or partial Tecate's while you were stumbling around did you:D

01-12-2011, 09:32 PM

Didn't see any Tecate stuff. Mostly Honda stuff.

98rangerll

01-12-2011, 09:48 PM

jrush did it look as if there was many 250sx parts there or did it seem that there was just about eveything cause im looking for new or excelent condition oem plastics for my 85 sx

What a shame, lots of good stuff there, if hes such a hoarder it will just rot away and be worthless.

01-13-2011, 02:24 AM

What did you pay for the rear fenders? His prices high?

OZQUAD44

01-13-2011, 10:44 AM

This thread just makes me depressed, just a waste.

Apart from the R's and the 70, nothin else much tickled my fancy, but there are a whole lot of 200X's in that lot. Perhaps I'm focusing on the 250cc two strokes a bit too much. 200'x were the the backbone of the sport at one point. When I was a kid, all I wanted was one of those puppies.

I think from a restoration point of view the 200x must be one of the best starting points out there. They have got full suspension, disk brakes, the chinese make electric start 200cc engines that just bolt into these chassis, and they were always fun to ride. Imagine if all your mates had 200'x. That rubbish tip could be the start of the next movment in our hobby... revival of the mighty 200X! Stuff ATC70 racing, lets all go 200X racing......

Dirtcrasher

Left outside junk. I doubt much in that "pile" will help you retire :lol:

goodgreenbandit

01-13-2011, 01:25 PM

Anybody know of a place like that in wash. , orergon. Lets see some more junkyard photos ,. Ive found trikes in some odd locations but never a pile that big . Inside or outside i think some of it is good!!!!!
I know of a smaller pile up Hwy. 20 outside Tonasket, where ya at 350xjedi? Need some more ridin buddies/places to ride.

jrush

01-13-2011, 01:45 PM

$175. Didnt need em but now I'll have em whenever I find a decent 250R around here.

I think those bars are older aftermarket answer brand. They have the same bends as mine

hey jrush does the guy have set hours or just have to catch him there.. is he a seller or just sitting on the stuff.. im thinking about taking a trip up there to get myself into trouble with the wife... Im in monroe so it shouldnt be to bad of a drive..

jrush

01-19-2011, 10:49 PM

Open Wed-Fri. 9 to 5 I think. They work on atv's and order new parts. As far as the old stuff you have to talk to old guy that owns the place. His name is Van.

Yep there was a place just like that by me. Its where i would get all my parts from, hell I even had to let them helliarch the inside of motor :cry: But about 3 months ago a guy by lousiana had a 18 wheeler come in and pick up almost all the trikes :mad: so now im lost!
