    Just missed this one

    I was not in the market for another project, but I saw this and called immediately. I'd never pass up a $50 trike that had half its parts on it:

    http://desmoines.craigslist.org/rvs/2437928846.html

    He had it sold shortly after listing it. I don't know my Yamahas that well, but doesn't 250 make it a Tri-Z? No, don't tell me, I'll just feel worse.

    It wasn't a Tri-Z. Tri-Z's don't have pull starters. They didn't know what they had.

    Ah, so it wasn't a 250 either then...maybe a 225DX or DR then? Which I need several parts for. Oh well.

    Or a Tri-Zinger, or a YTM200, or 125, or a 175.

    let me make you feel better and say it was a ytm 175, so it was a two stroke, and nothing will work for your dx lol. No I didn't buy it, but then you don't feel like you missed that jackpot of parts

    That's silly, but at least not dishonest. "I haven't tried to start it", or "Don't know if it runs" is the one that gets me. Yeah, you brought it out, took pictures of it to sell it, and didn't try to put gas in it and start it. That's believable.
