So my main machines are all done..no more projects to play with for a while and with winter on the way I wanted something to tinker with.

I posted a 'wanted' add in the local online classifieds. You know 'drag them out of your sheds, running or not I'll buy them..

Anyway a pretty good response..4 machines in total I got $500 out of pocket. 2 - '83 ATC 185 (both are runners but have been sitting a while..one for 5 years), an '84 ATC200s(running but smokes like a bltch), plus one guy even threw in this little 2 wheeler which I should be able to get running with minimal effort. (my daughter is eyeballing it!)

A great haul for the money..I should be able to fix up and sell and stay ahead on the money.

The 3rd isn't shown because it's in the shop already getting some fixin'!!

Keep trying..they are hiding out there in the back of sheds. Who knows you might find one of the elusive machines like the '87 250R or 350X.

So far trolling has only produced some small bites, but they were keepers just the same..still some big fish out there I can feel it, don't give up Jason!!

All I get are quads. Haha! Even though it says just 3 wheelers. I'm sort of glad, no money to buy them now! After this 350x..

nice find. if you wanted i bet you could get an easy 200 bucks for that mini scooter. so the trikes actually came pretty cheap

1st one just sold..cleaned up the '185 I bought last week. Robbed a brake cable from one of the machines on the trailer to get the front brakes working..$500 for it

..that officially nets me 2 trikes and 1 mini-bike for free!! Luck be on my side..

Not sure how much luck I'll have selling the bike..my daughter has claimed rights to it at this point..
