Its been quite a little Sunday. Ive had a weird week. i screwed up a deal for a big red (my fault), got boned on a deal for a Yamaha Big Wheel (his fault) and just generally lost faith in craigslist. on friday, before the Big Wheel deal fell on its face, i texted a guy from craigslist. he was very local, and was selling a yamaha 200 for a hundred bucks. it was apart, but mostly there, and it had three good wheels and tires. good plastics. pretty complete. i have a 225dx in need of some rubber so i haggled with the guy and came to an agreed price under a hundo. we couldn't agree on a time to meet, so the deal went into the waiting room. i was in no rush to buy and he seemed in no rush to sell. fast forward to today. i was surfing the list and i see a 225dx with a silly quad conversion nearby. i begin to send a text and i realize its the same guy that had the 200. i ask a few questions and its clear that the conversion is permanent, as he cut the gooseneck off. i tell him I'm not a quad guy and I'm not interested. he chimes in with, "i have another three wheeler i'll sell" i ask what model and he says "225Y" which turns out to be a 225dx. i ask a price, as it was not even posted on c-list. he comes back with 375 for both machines. i went over thinking i was picking up two dumpsters and i see this yellow 225dx in GREAT SHAPE. i need these like a hole in my head, but i could't pass em' up. i'll part the 200 and probably ride the dx a little. it needs a bath, and a starter, but starts on one pull. idles nice. no smoke, brakes work, thing seems tight and solid. i'll post some pics soon. anyone know if there is a new (chinese) starter option for these babies? i've bought a few SX starters on eBay with good results. Everytime i try to downsize the fleet, these things show up. man.. i have a problem..
