About a year ago i had an idea of selling my immaculate and original honda atc 250r. Well the time came and off she went to someone who I thought would take care of her like I did, well to my surprise i just went on craigslist two weeks ago and saw she was for sale. I did not think much of it because Curtis guy I sold it to had listed it and when I called him on it I asked him about what we talked about I want it back if you sell it.
Now today I got home and I did my rounds on all my sites I look at and went on ebay and saw one part that I had put on my trike then another then another then reality sank in it was being parted. I don't have an issue with people parting bikes my issue is with people parting out nice complete bikes. Look I know times are tough but I know how much I took care of that thing all the hours and money that were used up on that trike. Nothing was sparred on that trike all OEM stuff was used but some parts that aren't made oem were aftermarket.
Suspension was rebuilt front and back front legs were even chromed engine was rebuilt im telling you nothing was sparred on that honda.
The reason I sold it was yes it was replaced with a trx 250r but I had good reason it was hard on my friends and family when their kids would ride it and they would fall on it at Glamis. I wasn't worried about the bike but broken bones and injuries that were sustained that caused me to sell it. That bike was made to be ridden not just sit in my garage and collect dust how I regret that now, believe me when I tell you when you go on ebay and type up atc 250r the guy thats parting it is cycleguy 1979 this bike was clean please take a look at it in pieces what a shame.
The seller has no blame on this unfortunate situation I want to call curtis to see what happened to selling it back to me well I know it's a machine but rest in piece 1985 honda atc 250r.
