Selling Disease

[88 Turbo Coupe]

I have many different diseases. One is not enough.

[Mrs.Mosh]

It's worse here.....2 people with the disease.
Actually, Mosh keeps saying there are too many, but we can't part with any of them. Sell one to make room, 2 more show up.
When he sold his trail Z, I told him he would regret it! He does.

Every time i get rid of something, i need it IMMEDIATELY.


example: i saved my broken laptop power cord for 3 weeks after getting a new one.

DAY AFTER the garbage men took it away, the electrical connection on the end of the plug started going bad, for whatever reason. THE CORD ON THE OTHER ONE WAS PERFECT. now i have a cobbled cord that could break at any time, and i cant return the other one because it was a cheap aftermarket EBAY part. but the OEM one is 120, and it is an val cord, so noone has a universal one for it.

!

it always happens like this.

I have this same disease. Is there a cure for it? i did however 2 weeks ago sell 3 of my 200s' 2 ran one was just a parts bike. i never used them so i sold them to a father and a son they dont have much. the boy was about 10 so i figured it would give them something to do and hopefully keep the little one out of trouble

mine got so bad I was hiding trike in the woods before I would slowly intergrate them into the pack to look less conspicuos.... still got called out! lol! had like 20+ complete trikes with maybe only 5 that ran thousands of parts etc etc.... now I just have my 85 250R and a few parts here and there.....

My main affliction is lowriders and lincolns.... more importantly LOWRIDER LINCOLNS! lol!

91 towncar
97 fakewood (non black wood truck, lol fake wood)
98 towncar

I see lincolns in parking lots and around town, and I want to talk to them! even feel bad for lincolns that are broken and sad sitting under a tree being used for a meth lab...

It's all about saving the machines!!
I need some parts for a bike and instead of buying em new I pickup a whole "parts" bike with the intention of merging the 2 into 1. Well its too easy to say well gee another couple hundred and I can have TWO bikes that run woohoo.
Yeah lets save that one too!! Now instead of having one bike and extra parts you have two bikes and need more parts.....it never ends....
Next thing ya know its like rise of the machines in the backyard or something!
Good Stuff though!!

Yeah, there is usually a progression. First a hardtail or 2. Then it's the 200x and then the 350x. Then maybe a 250r or a Tri z. Then you start on the aftermarket parts. Then it gets really bad. Suspension 70s. I travelled to Tenn. to pick one up and planned a vacation around it. Then yamahas and their suspension kits. Now it's Tigers. I got it bad!!!!

[toocheaptosmoke]

I've got the disease, only sell something if there's no way I could use it. Got about 3 trikes, dozen sleds, and parts laying everywhere. Ebay and craigslist have only made things worse.

[atc500x]

I'm the only one without problem? I have 3 trike, 4 motorcycle and around 15 mnitrail,trail bike..and around 10 minitrail to rebuilt to sold next year....my tractor,a snowmobile,4 car,a boat and a BIG BIG BIG quantity of OLD motorcycle parts.And wait 12 other bike this weekend,and no problem with the wife.......she said...,"" if you love it...why not? ""

[gravelyman]

wow your wife is cool ever think about becoming a polygamist??



what do mopeds and fat chicks have in common?

they are fun to ride until your friends see you!!!

I'm only at the 200x stage It may smoke worse than a 2 stroke but it runs.

[Kintore]

I sell my 250rs like its my job, sold away 3 86 triZ's and 3 250rs (85-86) now. Rather see them go to someone that will race them in the otc crowd, plus I still get the chance to race against them everytime I line up!

I just keep upgrading I find. Stock 250r to a modded 250r,

now im up to a 265 Duncan PV motor, Elka Elite suspension, Inverted front forks and a -1 houser swinger on beadlock rims, Kinda hard to beat that kinda deal!

[sandpuppi101]

I guess i got the bug pretty bad,but never really realized how bad it has alway's been.I actually did'nt know actually how much stuff I had until here lately when I decided to go thru all my part's and see what I actually had.For me it's kinda like going to the grocery store,I just go thru my stock and pick part's,and I have literally put a machine together in less than a day with my surpluss.But you'd think I'd get rid of some of the stuff..No way!! For some reason I never get rid of hardly anything,except to local customer's.I would'nt want it anyother way either,just keep buying,I say.

[firehart]

I got it bad too. I have one hiding in the bushes so the wife can't see it. My goal is to get enough fixed up so I can take all grandkids riding someday. Maybe they'll all be running about the same time that the kids are big enough to ride them. Everytime she starts to get on my case I just remind her of her scrapbooking addiction. She has way more money in her stuff.

[Texas 200x]

I just starting to aquire some back up parts. I would get some parts bikes if I could find them cheap enough or mostly at all around here. The stuff I'm aquiring I kinda well LIE about. Oh it was only 5 bucks, shipped!
