I can't believe it. It's not junked at all, complete rideable bike just in the backround of whatever the hosts were hosting from near the end of the show. It's definatley a tiger 500 motor and pipe or something that looks IDENTICAL, with orange tank and orange frame. Has a chrome silincer also that was in some weird position.

Its coming back on at Midnight, I'll try to catch it and maybe tape it so that if I ever get a firewire card in my computer I can put the clips up for everyone to see.

What interests me is that Junkyard wars is (Was, maybe isn't anymore) a show made over in the UK. Now how did an American made Tiger 500 threewheeler, make it over to Great Britian? :shock:

These ones are filmed in the U.S. It looked like the south west somewhere.

Sweet! Wow. How the heck? Unfortunatly I missed it! If anyone could put up any kind of pic from the show that would be sweet. Aren't most of the junkyard wars shows made in the UK just with American teams sometimes? For sure it was a converted Tiger 500 ?

I believe the show is now made in California. They changed the formatt of it now quite a bit. I don't think it's as good as before. But, I am trying to tape it also.

Wait a minute....are you sure that its not a dirtbike. Look between the guys's arms in the last pic...looks like a dirtbike rear tire. :?

Looking at the tape over and over again makes me more sure it's a dirt bike than a Tiger. But it could be me. lol

Im pretty sure thats an old rotax can-am 500. My freind zack and his brother had a couple of these. The motor is fairly similar to that which was used in the tiger.
