and one new Azusa 10" steel rim with new tire=$14.00

....Not the best weekend, but it was "Good Enough".

Wow, I would say that would be a hell of a weekend, but I guess since you usually pick up a dozen bikes plus some misc. stuff it was kinda slow. Nice finds once again Mac. :thumbsup:

 

[Mac]

Today's Swapmeet treasure was two spark arrestor's for $5.00 each.

Known as a "Sparky".

Skyway-Cobra Spark Arrestor
US Patent No. 3863733 Model 300
Approved U.S.Forest Service.

Now to figure out an exhaust pipe with 2 1/2" OD
so I can use them to ride minibikes legally offroad.

 

[Bobscooters]

wish Georgia swapmeets had finds like that and prices that good, down here they price things on the gold standard.

 

[Mac]

Todays finds were:

New 22" Apehanger handlebars cost was $10.
New cycle seat cost was $5.
New Azusa brake cost was $5.
Two new innertubes(4"&6") cost was $10.
Used 1" twist throttle cost was $1.
Used Chilton gokart seatback gastank cost was $10.

Saw, but did not purchase:

Honda clone scooter was over $1,000.00

1970 Taco 100 frame was $100.

....main reason I didn't buy the Taco was this:
(...but someone bought it)

Sold a couple clutches & a throttle. Not a very good Day.

[suicycle]

Bill, I'll buy either one of your taco frames, if you wanna sell.

 

[BigMac399]

Wish you could have made a video, I would have liked to have seen how you did that with a vice and a torch. Those forks were junk. Amazing

 

[Mac]

Just one item this time:

...Fires up with a shot of gas. Crank filed down to 3/4". Cost was $30.
Apparently the engine was originally red, then painted black.

Not that great, from 1' to 1/2" pipe. I painted it to make it pretty.
If I sold the pipe I'd have none.
