1969 Kawasaki G3TR For Sale...Cheap Transport !









 This is a mostly original Kawasaki G3TR bike.  It has a 90 cc two stroke motor and ran good when I got it.  

I'm not sure why I own this particular motorcycle...I think I felt sorry for it.  I bought it from a High School kid who was trying to make some money off it.  I doubt if he did.

I installed a cool set of scrambler handlebars that I had laying around.  New grips and rubber foot rests.

It's just a basic motorcycle.  I need to change the plugs I'm guessing as it won't start now.  I'm not a two stroke guy!  The oil injector is not hooked up so you have to pre-mix your gas and oil.

It has the original California Pink Slip and the original California black license plate.

I'm asking $1200.00 as it sits.  I will negotiate a bit or trade for a good American Fender Stratocaster.

I'm located in Southern California.  I will ship on your dime.

SOLD...SOLD...SOLD

The Art of Collecting


 Collecting anything is an art.  Really good collections have been put together by a knowledgeable person who has refined their focus.  I have collected a lot of things over the years and I had to learn how to walk away when the quality was not there or when I couldn't afford the asking price. I have had access to several large collections of motorcycles,  guns and decoys.  If you ever want back in, be careful how you ask what's for sale. That is an art as well. 

Rotations of really good collections are usually based more on boredom than need of cash.  Our focus becomes more refined and selling 3 or 4 items may get us one good item. 

Remember a couple of things when collecting.  You must be your own expert so do your research.   Learn how to walk away and be polite about it,  you may want back in later. And finally...buy only the best that you can afford. Someday it will all be sold so make sure it's all sellable.

1912 Elmer Crowell Preening Pintail


 This bird sold for over $600,000

John Blair Decoy


 This is not the most expensive decoy ever sold but I like it. You could buy this bird for a bit over $200,000

I have been collecting decoys for quite a long time.  I had an interesting collection years ago but sold most of it.  Recently I started collecting again and sure wish I had kept a few of my best pieces.

 I will never have a bird like the one shown but I have a few that I really like including a pair of redwood Pintails that I carved myself.   When I worked for American Canyon Fire we were burning a house for training. Captain Wallace knew I was looking for some large pieces of redwood So he cut some beams and presented me with a few seasoned pieces of redwood that I carved a nice set of decoys from. Thank you sir, I still have them 



The only pair of Tim Drennen carved decoys
