The R next door

[svtkeith]

So Im driving home today and happen to look in my next door neighbors back yard and there sits a 86 250r. I see the owner sitting just looking at it so I stop and try and get some info. Turns out he acquired it over a year ago. Never got it running and its been sitting ever since. The bike is decent, the seat needs replacing and plastics are faded. Its got and aftermarket exhaust and west coast? swingarm and a few other goodies. He said he wants 400 bucks for it, but a kid down the street already gave him 80 a few weeks ago and is trying to make payments. I told him i got cash, NOW! Gave him my number, and told him when hes ready to have real cash in hand, call me up. Hope he bites. I currently have 3 projects going right now but whats one more...

The Westcoast alone is worth the $400. Hope you are able to get it.

Hell yes! Yea I hope so too, hate to see a young kid get it and beat it to death.. It has alot of potential

[dirtface]

Thats exactly what will happen too. You should go back and give that guy the sob story of how you would like to take good care of it rather than have some kid buy it and just tear it up.

Trust me, i bought an 85 liquid R earlier this yr and traded it to a kid for a cr125 dirt bike, he tore the plastics and tank off of it and threw them behind his shed and took the damn 3 wheeler to the JUNK YARD! God i was so pissed at him. The engine was perfectly fine......

I might be able to walk over and sneak some voyeur shots.

[oscarmayer]

[svtkeith]

Well I went over there yesterday and its still there, not covered, raining.. Poor lil buddy. Talked to the guy and he said he still hasnt talked to the kid about me buying it. So I offer the 450 cash and he looks shocked like thats way too much money for the bike. BUT.. He still is hesitant on selling it to me.. Dam guy and his morals.. I will try again in a few days, I want this bike!!

Hey man your on the right track. definately dont give up! this can be your bike if your persistent enough. show him how badly you want it. tell him it will go to a good home and you really want to start fixing it up. look bummed out if he tells you he cant yet. chat it up with him a bit and even get a little off topic. buddy up some. make it happen, good luck!

I wont give up and I know where the kid lives that wants to buy it. So if he does sell it to him, I will offer to trade one of my runner ute's and some cash.

I would go strike a deal with the kid. Obviously he has no money so he will probly jump on it to make a little cash.
