you're all right though, either way any used bike is a gamble. i'll take my chances and let you all know how it goes. there's an auction this Friday (which is i think is kind of pushing it for me) or another toward the middle of May. i'll post up on how it went and maybe i can give some more info.
It sounds like your area's auction is more up to snuff than what we have around here. I bought 3 vehicles at auction and got burned on two of them. The only inspections performed were by potential bidders the day before and ignition keys were not available.
