ATV Thing is addicting!

[Frank Angerano]

 

The last statement is absolutely correct, getting people to sell there quads for less then they want because it’s not running or for whatever reason.  Also finding that barn find type quad that’s just been sitting and was left for dead.   

Me personally I would not get into any of the mechanics that you mention. Way to costly and time consuming.

My view is there are a ton of people out there that would spend $1200 -$2000 on a quad because they can’t spend more then that. I have sold quite a few without one problem to date because I go through it with a fine tooth comb and wouldn’t sell it if I felt otherwise. 

But we can debate that all day. 

Speaking of barn finds, I may have stumbled upon a HUGE barn find this weekend. Multiple toys in this one just covered in dust. It looks like someone put this stuff away and left it for a few years. 

Pictures to follow soon if I can get the deal done.

Yep and that's what I have a problem with.  I can talk people down a little, but then I start feeling like I'm ripping them off.  I know how it feels to be on the other end trying to sell something for a fair price.  I'm more likely to feel sorry for someone and give them their price than I am to get a screaming deal.

Yes it's the thrill of the hunt.  I can relate to that.

Yes but I enjoy mechanics.  I don't like it as much as I used to because it's like the same work over and over.  But when I was younger it was all about learning.

I'd like to find a Big Red trike in excellent condition.

[Frank Angerano]

Well I have one an 87 big red in decent  shape. Wish you were close Bc I would probably give it to you. I finalized my barn find toady.  Not the typical find but def a goodie! Pics to follow.

Ah thanks man!  Yeah if we lived close we could help each other out.  Sounds like you'd make a good friend!  I just want something to knock the berm down in the middle of my trails.  Is the 87 the 250 or 200?  Does it have the high/low ranges?

Can't wait to see what this is going to be.  Like an episode of American Pickers lol

[Frank Angerano]

Lol yes. A good find bit out of our range of things we are used to but it’s a good find.   Yes my big red has high and low. I gave them away but the owner has no need and said I can have them back. I have no need for them.

Is it the 250 or 200?  How far away are you?  I'm in GA.

[Frank Angerano]

It’s the big red 250. I’m in NY.

Lower NY?

I rarely put that much into my finds, In order to make any money you have to buy them cheap and watch your costs.

Hell I even figure out the gas spent to look at some if its worth it or not. Now if it was my personal one that I was keeping

I can see spending more than planned.  So where are the pics of your barn find? I assume was a good deal. Im after one probably

tomorrow but a long drive and not sure if worth the effort. Pics to follow. Az

[Frank Angerano]

My point exactly. Very little money Into the bikes and a lot of profit hopefully! 

Pics are coming soon. Today in fact I’m picking everything up with a few trucks.  

Its not the typical find and not the usual machines. But it’s some cool money making sh**.

I'd like to give it a good home, but NYC is too much work lol.  I draw the line at Corning.

Well decided to do the drive yesterday after work. Looked at the Yam 250 and 

in pretty good condition. Starts right up, new tires, all lights work etc. Just needs

carb redone and some detailing. Tried to get Willie and the boys to help load it up lol Az

This looks like fun to buy referb and flip. Looks like something me son would love to do. Ive gotten him into working of the smaller engines and hes addicted, I bet he would have a blast doing this. Definitely gonna have to start looking in my area.
