what is sad the prices nowdays for a used car , truck , motorcycle or minibike they think they are made of gold i think. probably 15 years ago i saw a ad in the local advertiser for three minibike frames for $99. yeah i said three well i called immediately and the guy said he was going out of town but back sunday so sunday rolled around i called no answer later called and he said he was home and if i wanted them to come on needless to say a cat slingshot , western flyer and a thunderbird were now mine the kicker and i've kicked myself several times a vega yenko dark blue mint condition $6k . bottom line unless you just luck out anything you buy nowdays cost $$$$.
