    Mint 1981 250r On Ebay Broken Into Parts

    I apologize i don't know how to put the link up. There is a 1981 ATC 250R that is being parted out on Ebay. Some of the most mint parts I,ve ever seen for this bike. To me its sad that this 3 wheeler met this demise but some of you out there might be able to benefit from these parts. It's listed by the seller draygoneye. maybe some here can put the link up.

    Probably this guy. It's his trike so he can do whatever he wants with it but that sort of thing drives me nuts. I hope nobody buys any of it.

    That little @#$@ I was mad as hell on .org and told him (i.e., typed him off)...I think he should be banned.

    Looks like "Yamaha425" is trying to bid on each piece and "put Humpty Dumpty" back together again! If I get that CEET tank cover, I'm going to send it back to Travis at CEET in GA so they can reproduce them! I'll be putting the "big bids" in on Sunday!

    That stuff is so clean, my heart did sink when I imagined what this thing must have still looked like. I don't even like to see the beaters broken down daily on Ebay but i guess it keeps some of ours going. This one was to nice to break down though!!!

    BOYCOTT THIS AUCTION if you have any sense of humanity whatsoever and you can get past your greed for one moment of human decency to show the folly of this brutal, heinous murder.

    The guy is a punk in my book and is not what we are about here. If you can't float $1800 bucks and you need money that bad then don't get into this game.

    These damn trikes are expensive to keep up. I give up...my heart hurts tonite. First I sold my YZ 400F to a guy that I am afraid will trash it...and now this!

    Geez!

    Please try to take my Tri z, quadzilla, and 250r and part them out...I need to kick someone's ass tonite...please come over!!

    Here was my response to his 'bargaining' regarding parting it out:

    Christian,

    I hope you did not part that thing out.

    Trikes are not about making money man. If thats what you are about then go find another business.

    Sure, if I have extra plastic I'll sell it. But i would never part out a mint trike that that.

    You should be ashamed of yourself.
    We have a bunch of kids getting into this and 'acting like they love trikes' and then try to make money off of destroying a new bike. If you finances are subject to that much fluctuation then go get a REAL JOB! Don't freaking destroy trikes due to your insolvency.

    GET A REAL JOB! CREATE SOMETHING...DON'T DESTROY!

    Respect the trike and the history. Its not about money all the time. Obviously you and don't see eye to eye on this issue.

    You buy and sell trikes like a commodity. They are not a commidity. Commidites have endless supply.

    I am glad I picked up my R when I did or else someone like you would have parted the thing out as well.

    NO CLASS!

    You wanna part out all my trikes to stuff your wallet. bring it man...try to take them...

    I MAY BE RUDE HERE AND I AM SORRY BUT THIS PISSES ME OFF. EVERYONE MAY HATE ME ON HERE BUT i DON'T CARE..ITS THE PRINCIPLE.

    RIP 1981 to 2005

    Now is the CEET cover really part of the trike? And if I can use it to allow CEET to remanufacture them, isn't that a good? Believe me, if it's stupid money, I'm not going there. You know what I mean? I hope the rest of the real trike goes for pennies on the dollar of what the whole would have been. And really, other than "Rare" parts like DG heads, I've seen some nice parts for 81-82R's go for cheap. Hope this trend holds up for this punk!

    has anyone ever heard the term "taking one for the team" i mean.. i can understand some peoples feelings.. but my god.. its his, not yours, no one wanted to buy it when he was going to sell it, so why, let me repeat WHY is everyone getting there panties in a ruffle? NOT A SINGLE PERSON bought the bike, he chose to part it out, END OF STORY christ get over it.. This thread sounds like a bunch of guys, crying like 2 year olds..

    GET OVER IT! Now go sit in front of the tv to catch a glimse of a 3 wheeler in the back of a truck in some movie or news cast and bite your nails waiting for it.

    I agree he has the right to do with it what he wants. I don't beleive I'm crying about it. I'm just expressing a little passion about the loss of a 24 year old brother.

    QUICKONSTEP, obviously you are in the same mindset as the guy selling it....maybe YOU shouldnt be in these forums either....we are dedicated to keeping these alive, and if there is a mint one it should be kept like that...these are pieces of history.....would you disassemble Johnny carson's body if you could make more money???? i didnt think so.....
