I Think I Hit the Motherload
« on: December 22, 2007, 08:26:14 AM »
A coworker told me I had to visit Suzuki/Yamaha dealer about 40 miles away. Went yesterday and I could not believe these places still exist. Knew when I drove in this was a find because of the 60s red S suzuki sign and blue Yamaha sign. In an old brick building that hasn't seen a paint brush in 30 yrs. Went inside and my jaw dropped. Packed floor to ceiling with STUFF. Apparently never threw out anything. Asked if they had any T20 Suzuki parts and the guy said "What do you need?" I didn't have my parts book with me, so he sat me down at the counter with the parts fische. Made a list from memory and he started looking. Listed 20 part numbers and he had 8. Still in original wrappers! Said he had a couple parts bikes and went out back to 2 20X50 ft buildings packed with BIKES. Could hardly walk through all the stuff. Saw at least a dozen SOhC4s in various states of repair and disrepair. Walls covered with tanks and exhaust systems and rafters full of wheels and sheet metal. Also 4 semi trailers full of stuff that I didn't get into. Prices were reasonable and I bought the X6 parts and a couple owners manuals before I ran out of money. Guy told me they do not advertize because they are busy enough.Going back next week for more. Will keep forum posted on inventory.
