    Help identify a 3 wheeler - Update: CRACKHEADS!

    http://southbend.craigslist.org/rvs/2845557344.html

    I'm going to take a look at this. I'm guessing 250sx with a 350x front end? What's your guess?

    UPDATE - see below for comments after I saw it.

    I think your right on what it is. The front end looks bent from his pics. I'd offer him a him a hundred and see what that gets ya, he obviously doesn't know much about it.

    What in the pics makes you think the front end is bent?

    The bottom half of the front tubes don't look like they line up with the half in the triples. Decent price, like how he said if you can get it started it's yours for 200, so if it doesn't start is it going to be cheaper ( I would think) or higher?

    So I just got back from taking a look at it and WOW...

    First off the people: I stepped in dog vomit (could have been human if they were eating do food) on my way to the garage. Two male Caucasians early 20s in a garage, one can't sit still and has a tick; the other sits and chain smokes. Smells sweet, musty, and somehow toxic...I haven't been around drugs, but I'm guessing they were smoking meth... (I should have just walked right out then)

    I spent one minute tops looking at the bike - 350x front, 250sx rest. Kick start doesn't go all the way back up and only seems to move piston maybe halfway up/down. shifter has a lot of play, the rear end was at a weird angle and shock was squishy...something was def wrong.

    I said I'll give you $50 just so he won't take it and I can get the hell out of there, he wants $150 and will call me if he reconsiders. Yeah, I'm not going to buy a 3 wheeler of a crackhead!

    (I know, crackheadslist - you get what you pay for. I need to start carrying a gun.)

    Ya never go look at something alone ALWAYS bring a friend you never know who your meeting. I wish illinois would allow concealed carry but the people and chicago won't allow that...ahh the great state of illinois, i soooo need to move.

    if you dont have a friend to go, you can do what i do- have them meet you at a public parkin lot where theres plentya people all the time. i usually meet them at a QuikTrip along an extremely busy highway thats 15 minutes from home, so theyre nowhere close to where i live

    I've bought a lot of things of craigslist and never had a problem (I know that doesn't mean there will never be one) and if it's not a good area of town or I get a bad vibe on the phone I just don't go.

    Just kills me that people are that stupid, but never surprises me.

    I do carry my friend when I do CL dealings... My buddy Smith, or my buddy Ruger always are up for the ride....
    No trikes. Too old, too crippled. Unless I find one I can't live without!
