One of our local bike salvage yards is going out of business...
« on: December 23, 2010, 11:34:58 AM »
After over 20 years in business Harrisburg Bike Salvage is closing up.
The last time I was there was about 8 years ago.
I had to dig through the blackberry bushes to get to what I wanted to buy.
I had to remove the parts myself.
Some of the parts we needed were damaged or missing from previous customers and I got charged top dollar.
But, what was I going to do? Not go riding?
He has some stuff for sale.
Here is some pics for you to enjoy...
1. I know some IT guy is crying right now....



2. I need the front axle off that.....

Neither are stock, and both are great desert bikes.

From what I remember it's about 5 acres of what is in the pics.
In all fairness I have not been there in a while.
However, one of my affiliates was there this morning and got those choice pics.
I knew some IT guy would be heart broke  :cry:

It's hard to keep a drivers license riding a 2 stroke dirt bike on the street.  If you drive within the law they are VERY boring.

He is trying to sell them.
I will contact him about 2 weeks before he has to have it all cleaned out and see if there is anything worth picking up.

Decent plastics 89-? KDX200/220
