    '83 Xr 100

    Crouch Death Cycle. I bought it from Jerry a few years back for $250. I think everyone in TAMOR has ridden (and crashed) it at least once. It runs pretty good, brakes work decent, seat is good.

    Bad:
    Tank is leaking a bit
    Muffler is completely shot, internals MIA, thinking this is the reason it's not idling.
    Probably needs a carb cleaning
    Handlebars are mostly straight, could use some new ones.
    Needs new fork seals (all of them this vintage do)

    Good:
    Chicks dig it
    It's cheap.

    It's a fun bike to cruise around on, or for a kid. They are 4 stroke so no need for mix gas. It's a project, but is easy to work on and parts are plentiful/cheap, they still make this bike. I'm asking what I gave for it, TAMOR Price, $250. I'll probably ask more for it on Craigslist, they go for more. I can deliver to College Station, maybe not this weekend.

    The handlebars have been bent a few times. I think BDR and Fred's buddy Tyler also bent them.

    Yes, it runs good. It just doesn't want to idle. I think it's because

    A. The carb hasn't been cleaned in awhile.
    B. There is no back pressure from the muffler because all the internals are gone.

    I rode it down the street and back the other day. I think it's def. worth what I'm asking.

    I would like to add to this that my dad and I rebuilt the engine around 1995, so while it is not a fresh rebuild, it is a rebuild. This bike always pulled great and was a wheelie champ. Oh and that is wierd that the tank leaks, we replaced that too.

    My nieces feet would probably touch the ground. This is a small bike. When are you going to be back up this way Seth? Might be easier than me trying to figure out a way to get it down there.

    That's ok, you know where my 'rents live. I'll leave it in the driveway, tell pops you're coming by. I'll be done with that by the time you wake up, probably over by noon.
