Ju Ju or Luck?

Day before yesterday, I found that this bike on CL, I bought from a dude named -Rick Kempf from Essex, IL.- A supposed motorcycle Mechanic! The deal was the trike just need tires and a battery, some cosmetics of course. I only paid $300. It was somewhat a blind buy do to the fact that we were meeting up after a hundred mile drive to do the exchange! It had been dark out when we finally met and made the transaction. I paid this dude and we went out separate ways! I did not get to the bike till a few days later, just find out, the only thing worth a sh*t was the frame. So I tried to get a hold of this dude and tell him to come pick up his scrap metal so I could use that money on a different trike! You guessed it, he was like a fart in the wind after the transaction... Gone!!! Well bidding my time and patience, I just sucked up the loss. Well yesterday I happened to be cruising the old trusty CL again, and this is where ju ju plays in. I found the same exact trike in a basket- complete trike, and a running one for $250. So now for a total of $550 for three 85 Yamahaulers with shaft and reverse, two extra rear rims with new tires, extra set of forks, wires and two extra front tire with rims, only one is bent! One actually runs, of course its ugly, it was only $250. This was ju ju on my part and the dude who screwed me. Now I have three trikes and he's not going to get stalked and wrecked! Thats my ju ju story, just thought I would share!

glad its working out for you ricky,you should have a decent runner with xtra parts for awhile.too bad about the used car salesman though.still though your not in to deep.

Sounds to me like you got hussled. dont let it happen again. be careful with your money and look things over right before buying.

This was the one and only time I was busy and late at the same time and in the middle of trying to take care of this trike deal. Your right tho, at first I thought I should look it over, but I would of been late for my ol lady to get off work and in the mist of all this. I was pickin up truck parts from a guy I might of never seen again! This $250 buck deal for the basket trike, was from a fellow triker who wants to keep the trikes alive. I feel lucky, because I am better then when I started! So every thing worked out for the best! Today I am going to venture off into the Honda world also. I'm going to look at decent 110 for the ol lady, the guy wants $350 and it looks to be fairly clean and complete! This one will be looked over and hopefully I only end up spending $300!

[rickybudz]
