Motorcycle salvage yard

[mrfreyguy]

Went to the salvage yard in jordan today. Everytime I go there I think im just gonna be in and out but I always end up just walking around for 3 hours . I took a few pics so you guys could see what its like. I also picked up a Muzzy Slip on Muffler for my kart. Pics below. My friend does not want his identity to be known

Carbs anyone? There where at least 7 bins full of them.

 

[mrfreyguy]

They also sell running bikes and quads

 

[mrfreyguy]

Heres the muzzy muffler. It should give me a nice tone. $50 well spent. ( I looked online and muzzy mufflers rangs from $250-$1,000 new) I was gonna get a older kawasaki pipe but then I read the bottom and it said that It was noise reducing and EPA approved, Hellllllllllllll no

Found a bike with a battery and keys still in it. The horn kept me entertained.

How come you don't have any? I think the coolest part of it all is the range of differnt bikes they have there. I saw some that where from the 60's and some from 2009. I also saw makes and models I had never heard of.

its because our population of our state is only 2'230'000 and we are spread over an area of
2'645'615 km^2 (1'021'477miles ^2) so there is no place big enugh to constitute a yard like this
our local motorcycle wreakers are 4 blokes in a shed that have about 50 motorbikes already disasembled and are very expensive (i recently brought a moped tank from them for $50
and this is in our capicat city

Yeh u want cheap bike parts in aus u go buy a paper or go on ebay.

 

[modelengineer]

Yes, but here in AUS we have damaged bike auctions where you can get very cheap whole bikes.

 

[fowler]

i must find one of those insurance auctions
edit
also i know we can get get cheap bikes here
espesially on farms (my calton draft quad is a prime example)
but the convineance of that huge yard where u can find what u need in 1/2 an hour
rather than tawling through newspaper ads or asking around untill u get a good lead

Wow...less than 1 person a kilometre... thats shocking...

 

[fowler]

yeah but we have mostily desert so most people live in the south west or on the coast
and 1.6 million is in the capital city

 

[fowler]

aparently there are no damaged bikes at Manheim Fowles but pickes has a bi mounthly action out by the airport
so thanks for the tip

 

[brendonv]

Manheim fowles just had an auction. Keep lookin at the website and there will be more soon.

 

[modelengineer]

You're looking for a statutory write-off bike. The repairable ones will be too expensive, unless they're really badly damaged.

 

[fowler]

well iv got an engine for my current project so i props wont want one for a will but ill remeber the names

i might go and get a storm damaged car from there though
as a first car itll be pretty cheap and i dont mind a few dents

 

[mrfreyguy]

hmmmmmm. Ive been looking around for a bike auction so when I turn 16 I might have another from of transportaion. But I cant find one. I might have to call geico and see 15 minutes can save me %15 or more on a crashed bike .
