Sorry for the crappy pics. I literally only took them for you guys. I was ready to drive home.

The "not quite as perfect looking as the pictures I saw kawasaki drag bike" (looked awesome from the old pics I saw)




The aluminum CB750 drag race frame



Someone call the police! I found a serial killers graveyard! (this was outside..in the elements...for 2 years according to him. He originally told me they were all in great condition)



Just place a tombstone at the head of each one, say a prayer, and leave some flowers.

Yep. If they were sandcasts i would have taken them anyway. I think the lowest one was CB750E 101XXXX

I did my reasearch before I went. I know the numbers, and even if you covered the numbers up, I would be able to tell if they were sandcasts. Trust me, they were all diecasts.

did he give you gas money for the drive?

So they were protected!

That reminds me of a '71 VW bus I bought in Austin in '94.  It had been sitting for a few years, but I got it running at the guy's house and drove it about 15 miles home.  A couple of days later I dropped the engine and pulled off the exhaust to replace it and found several dead geckos and one still alive!  I kept it as a pet for a couple of years because I figured it had to be good luck.

Don't even get me started.
From taking the day off of work (unpaid), and the gas it took to drive 11 hours roundtrip, the food, and the $300 I blew at the casino drowning my sorrows, I'm already out more than the agreed purchase price.

lol. Thanks for the offer, but somehow I think that would make me feel even worse!

Me too I'd buy ya beer for all the fun you provided.

You should have given him a swift kick in the "nads" for treating those engines like that.

I would have givin him a couple of hundred for the Kawi drag bike.

I asked about the kawi, and he turned into Charlton Heston. That's his baby.

I don't know whether to feel bad for the old guy, or be pissed off for wasting my time.
Oh well 2 out of 3 ain't bad!

Who wants to see pics of the Ducati 916 I bought for $4,500?
Drove to Florida for that one.

Thanks man. That's the coolest part of this whole thread.

"You know you got a bum deal if someone reading your story online actually bought you a beer"! LOL

 Am I wrong or does that Kawi drag bike have a blower? I'm not able to really tell from the picture but it sure looks possible.
