Made a living for a for a couple years hustling in the KC Mo. at a big monthly swap at a old drive in movie cost $2 at the gate period nobody controlled anything . People would be coming up in the wee hours of the morning sometime while the last movie was on and getting in line to wait for the gates . Made a few deal at 4am with a flashlight & cup of hot chocolate 
Had a old yellow school bus with 4 german guys made the rounds every year , they had a 2 month route around the states hitting all the major swaps they bought up & packed cargo containers full of old bikes & parts to go back with them , would fill that bus almost everytime .
Moved out here and what shock finding this rigged game .

GreyBeard seems like a really nice guy and I'd trust him to buy a bike from him. I've kicked it with him probably a dozen times at different places, he seems pretty cool to me. So are you down in Mims? I lived in NSB for about a year and a half but I had to come back to Indiana.

We've got a German that comes twice a year and buys bikes and parts and ships them back to germany. I heped him put 11 bikes in the container last Bike Week. He is a trip, huge Geramn guy with a huge beard and really tough guy looking, like in a movie. Nicest guy in the world.

Could have sold my shovel a couple times over for $20,000 + when the Japanese where rolling through the old plant yrs ago was one or 2 every in group who just had to have it . I'd help them find something eventually and make a few bucks in the deal just wasn't selling mine .
One of my friends has a really nice springer that he will not come off of, and they do try.

I don't know if this changed but Europe had a huge advantage with the currency exchange rate last year. Everything that they bought was like having a 25% discount, I think for a hundred dollars of their money they would get $130 of ours. It really works out pretty good because back in the 90s people bought up a lot of Evos and never really rode them much. He gets a lot of decent bikes for about $4K each. Which is like three something after the exchange rate.
