    Alright here is the story.

    I work for the Dept of Defense, and one of my Petty Officers had a buddy with a 185s. He needed an exhaust flang and asked me, since he knows I have tons of trikes. Then his buddy realized that this guy he used to deal with had tons of OEM parts for ATC's and bikes. He went out there to find the place vacant. He called and called and finally got in touch with his uncle. He found out that the owner of the shops and parts was in jail for killing his girlfriend. They needed to clear out his property with all the junk to sell the place. So, I was told about this place and got really excited. I wasnt able to get out there early enough to buy the LOT of parts. So I was able to find a few things. He said anything out there with a frame was 50$ This dude has tons and tons of street bikes if anyone is interested. I might go out there and pick up another trike or 2. Most of the trikes left are just rolling chasis(mostly 200s, 185s, 250es). There was a 125m complete that I might snag, but it looked rough. As for all the OEM parts, this other guy bought the LOT of them, but I do have his number and will see about snaging those parts. (since he said he was getting outof the ATV part, he just wanted the street bike parts)

    that has to be one of the coolest story ive ever heard. Man I would go and pick the 125m and up and keep looking for more buried under some other bike. You never know what you might find.

    No kidding! One mans trash is another man's treasure for sure, I'm still amazed that you got it for $50! I've bought 3 cd's for more than that before!
