POT SMOKING PARASITE PUNK? - $5600 (CAMPBELL RIVER

The last guy that I heard make that claim, I took $20 from him at the end of a 1/2 mile drag race. Easy money...

POT SMOKING PARASITE PUNK? - $5600 (CAMPBELL RIVER

as for the bike...I don't care for the seat, I wouldn't pay that much but to the right buyer it may be a okay deal...I'm waiting for my brother to sell me his mint '74 250rd with an original 30kms on it, but I've been waiting since 1980 so it may be awhile yet ...

Is this some kind of scooter? Looks like a primitive snow mobile, but converted to wheels. Johnson makes or made outboard engines for boats, so

Johnson once made sleds, so did Mercury.

I think it was some kind of early snow machine, but with a rear tire instead of treads. The front runners are missing. Johnson > I don't get, because that looks like a Briggs & Stratton 5 HP side valve engine.
Looks like the kind of snow tracks seen in 1960s vintage National Geographic magazine, Arctic stories.

111Mph?$ 5600CDN? You could get a 190MPH Busa for that. Cool though.

I don't see that exact configuration, but HERE are a lot of ones that are really close...Marketed under the Skee Horse name.

Did you read the listing. He made that with an old snowmobile and a snowblower. Musta cut the hood down the middle. I wonder how the drive works. He coulda used the snowblower system but then it wouldnt go very fast.

i imagine $5600 is starting price, I'd guess seller will take $5k....RD vs Busa ...RD's are appreciating in value, Busa's depreciating, probably still haven't hit bottom...given the choice between the two I'd take the harder to find RD, where am I going ride to 190mph?...and it's subjective but I don't find Busa's attractive to look at...

when they become that personalized they only appeal to a very very small percentage of the market, maybe there are those who would pay $1100 or $1500 but I don't know anyone who would...when I see bikes like those I see only parts bikes, $300 max...

Does the front tire look like it is pointing in a different direction than the forks?

You get to pay extra for that.

Those are all bikes I'd HAVE TO dump. I see nothing but scrap metal.
