He didn't have much but we found a couple things of interest.
One was an early YZ conversion. It was around a 1979 or 80 YZ (monoshock under the seat). It has stock tri-moto or maybe ATC front end (short forks and a huge front knobby balloon tire) and a custom swingarm with a racing axle and flat-track rear tires. very low to the ground. belonged to the owner of the shop, his old racer from the very early 80s. He was restoring it. I would have loved to have it; my brother thought is was ugly. not for sale anyway. :(
also stumbled across one of those orginal ATC one piece balloon tires. an 83/84 250R, a 6 wheel amphibious, and various honda, yamaha, and kawasaki hard tails, most in pretty rough shape. and one suzuki. What's strange is some was for sale and some not. I tried to get my brother to buy the 250R for a project, It was pretty rough and incomplete but I've seen worse. the guy said he had allot of 3wheeler stuff a couple seasons ago, but some guy from Arizona brought in a trailer and took most of it.
