What I've been up to
Posted: June 30th, 2007, 10:12 am
As most of you know, I sold the motor out of my bike and my other toys to put with the rest of the down payment money for the new house. Now that I have 3 months off (school teacher) I made a deal with my wife. I have been buying cheap bikes and such on Craigslist and repairing/tuning then selling for a profit. We split the profit, half to my CR fund, half to the checking account. Here's what I've done so far:
Paid $100 for this:
Paid $80 for used plastic, $9 for a banjo bolt, and now I have $189 into this, runs sweet. For sale for $1300
Paid $150, sold for $700
Paid $75, sold for $650
Paid $50, sold for $500
Paid $75, sold for $700
Like the side panels I put on?
Paid $100, sold for $450
There was another quad I recently timed, then sold but I don't have a pic. 84 TRX200 bought for $50, sold for $700. Nothing more needed to any of these than a good carb cleaning, tank and fluid flush and adjusting valves and timing.
