Its been almost 6 months since I cleaned the garage. I was letting projects stack up and no where to go with them. Well I got busy today and got everything in order the best I could. Also my stockpile of Rotax engines.

I wish I did. Those are hard bikes to come by, unless you want to travel. The problem I have is, I like EVERYTHING! I like to find stuff I used to drool over in magazines. Now most of it I can afford.

i was gonan say the megaII is complet eruns and rides but the rod came apart and toasted the cyl cracked sleve and all and needs tank and seat. and the ktm had no back brakes and looped out so needs frame and exaust and seat and rear plastics redone /replaces but i havent had much intrest in the last few years so they just sat in the storage sheds down my grandfathers. but i have tought baotu selling then due to the fac ti am not into the open bikes as much as i used to be so if your interested let me know. i wanan se ethem go to a good home not soem kid thats gonan rig it back together and hurt himself on it . i probably have abotu 900into both bikes

I would be interested if you were closer. The maico would bring pretty good $$$ on e-bay. Parts for both of those bikes will sell good. Im limiting myself to bikes, trikes, etc, within 300 miles from home. There are a few that I would travel further for. Thanks for the offer!

I was driving home for lunch a couple weeks ago and that little table was sitting by someones driveway with the free sign on it. I didnt even notice it was still on there untill I looked at the picture.

I love finding the junkers and nursing them back on their wheels again. Its hard for me to let them go sometimes. Gotta stop that. Its the hunt for the gem that makes it all good. I picked up another basket Tiger engine on e-bay last week. It has a complete ignition system and side case covers that have the open area for the ROTAX sticker. Also a decent jug with piston.
