    Look at it as a long term project, in no time you could open your own "junk" yard. :)

    The only way to pass up a deal that good is when your wallet doesn't contain the loot to make it possible, wish we had prices like that over here but the problem is people either want £300-500 ($5-800ish?) for a parts bike that's not seized, OR they just take it to the scrap man :(...

    Thanks lol, wish you'd ship them over too, might still work out cheaper than buying parts bikes here hahaha!

    Joking aside though, as you know from my sig if you ever come across a rack of HSC33 carbs from a 700 airhead or any parts of these carbs I'd seriously be interested in them...

    Wow.... So is it still a parts bike, or has the "arts" bit of parts metamorphosed into the "roject" of long term project???

    How to say "no" to passing up a good deal? That's easy:

    you buy it. Then call them back from a different number, and ask about it. They'll tell you it's already sold. Then you say, "Oh, too bad. Somebody got a good deall!"

    Then you have your new parts, you can tell yourself you passed up a good deal.

    After that, you end up like me........parts stashed in every conceivable opening. Then you can REALLY have fun with the bikes, or you can really have fun saying, "hey, I got one of those for ya" :)
