My wife won't allow me to have them in the basement,
so I have a shed full. I turn down more than I take.
Big bike shortage here as well, as parts, assessories, and supplies, have been pretty much non-existent...Good thing i always have bought back-up spares for most everything when i did...lol...DAMIEN
People tell me I am wasting money because I do the same thing. I have a back up stator and cdi for every bike, a few parts engines for things like magneto, clutch stuff, etc and, and, and, and. I have a crap ton of extra parts, saves money in the long run. Prices only increase, why not buy 20 of something you know you will use. I also collect junk bikes, or take friends old bikes when they get a new one. I'm never short when the supply goes down. Just need to get me some more jugs and extra mz clones. I ran out of those experimenting and fixing friends bikes this last month. Learned that cast 5.5cc head for the 66cc, is one sweet mambajamba. Got mine with CDH, my fav and number one go to store for my parts. Use that in concert with a copper 8mm head gasket from BGF, cut in half and the fiber spacer tossed. That gasket kit from them is wicked if you know how to use it properly. People complain about it being a sham, when really you get two ultra thin copper head gaskets from each giant head gasket if you take them apart. an if you buy pk kit from CDH ( IDK ABOUT THE OTHERS, SO PLEASE DON'T ASK. I deal almost exclusively with CDH for new stuff) and use the split BGF gasket, you get the squish set almost perfectly with little work. So guys looking for badarse copper head gaskets, check out BGF on the bay and look up their 8mm copper gasket kit. Just peel them apart gently, and sand the ring off the one half, the other half is ready to go upon splitting.
WTF!!! I could get rich with all the scrap bikes and parts I have lying around. No bike shortage here though. A bike surplus, as everyone just bought new bikes with their stimulus money. I scored huge this last year on bikes.
NOW THATS HOW I THINK!!! 15 bucks and i spend another 30, or 500 for one new bike, hmmmm. seems to be a clear winner here.
