I'm done, just sharing some viewer pleasure.
Thinking about all the stock one's I destroyed since 1977 drag racing. Throwing parts out for scrap.

Thanks for posting those. I thought that chopper would have brought more money. Like you said, looks to have a lot of good parts. I didn't read if it was running etc.

Hey Marty
Was over picking up some parts I ordered online from Kuhns last Saturday and drove over to Weavers to check it out. Never been there before but with the snow coming fast made a brief tour through the back used bike area. Seemed to be a lot of stuff up on shelves covered in tarps and service manager said he is starting to sell things off. Saw some red mags with drilled drilled discs peeking out of one tarp but no touchee allowed. Need to call him I guess to see what he has and wants to sell. I should ignore this stuff and keep on working on the project as there never seems to be enough time but it is the thrill of the chase I guess.

Hi Dave, Yes, he has a lot of inventory. Bob lives on Grand island, along the Niagara river. He has a climate controlled big garage. He collects old dirt bikes and vintage snowmobiles too. Last year at Mecum Vegas Bob made over $400,000 on bikes. He had some rare bikes this year sell for $30's & $40 thousands of $$.
He bought up around 50 used Harleys too. He don't even advertise the HD's Incredible Business Man. Quiet and Humble, he looks like he is a regular Walmart shopper (LOL) He don't brag of show off at all.
I sold him a lot of Z1 parts in late 99-early 2000's.

Stay warm, we are gonna get hammered this week with cold wind and snow!

Later.
