man did I just have a flashback seeing the old Yamaha!!! my dad had one and he would take us for a little put-put up and down the street,man those were the days!!! 8-)

Yeah I had a 72 DT175 that was the same bike when I was 12.
Even the color was exact.
I would keep it and ride it but the bike sat outside for the last two years and the chrome is a bit too far gone for me to restore it  :cry:

 Sorry I Missed the previous post!
  Irrigation!?
    I suppose it would be easier to move somewhere that would actually want your business...
 Lets see...
employees, sales taxes, property taxes, insurance, utilities,  the amount of traffic in and out of the facility...
 The amount of activity for the brown truck, Usps, Fed X , and on and on
...I'm sure I could come up with more ways your business positively impacts the local economy...
      but who am I.... Must be one of those Capitalist types that says we don't need higher taxes,  just MORE tax payers....  Arghh...

   Dang Blaster... That Husaberg looks way too cool to put in a tub,  (how does it run? :-D)...
           But think how many Bergs it will keep alive...

Hey Tuck.
The Eugene city council has ran a lot of businesses out of the area over the years.
I don't mind all the rules, I just wish they had specified the rules up front.
Every time I think I'm done I get hit with another project that needs to be done at X amount more....

We part out all kinds of bikes in all kinds of condition.
A lot of what we get is good running bikes.
There simply isn't enough clunkers around to keep us busy.
The Husaberg runs but I think the crank is loosing a bearing and the previous owner didn't want to fuss with it.
Which is the other problem, here you have a nice bike that if everything is primo it is worth 1200-1500.
If your not a mechanic it will cost a bundle to put a new crank in it or get it re-built.
Then, you have more into it then it is worth.
Sometimes you have to cut your losses and visit us, we like it  :-D

Here is a quick update.
I have been building and assembling rack systems.
We have a few more weeks and we should have most of the racks done and loaded.



Of what you can see in the picture there is about 12,000 parts.

Well...........
Yes and no.
It would be very nice to have the extra room, but even if I had the money to do it right now, I couldn't afford all the steel for all the new racks.....
It's like everything else I have done here..... One thing at a time....

That is a really nice setup you have. I hope your hard work and expense works out for you, if your like me it will be very enjoyable tinkering and learning about bikes. There used to be a "bike wrecker" here in BC and the place was a total disaster, parts lying everywhere, mixed up and unmarked! I wish I took a picture as Im sure you would get a good laugh.
Your website looks great too with a few how to's thrown in.

thanks
