    Hey all. I just posted in the market place, but just in case there isnt any bites on that...("Parts Bike" Thread)

    I have 2 parts bikes I need to get rid of. They were used to help get my fiances dad (RIP - eff you cancer) old bike running again, and sitting at the shop where the work was done. I live in an apartment, so i don't have anywhere to keep them. I don't have any keys or paperwork (no title, no registration) on them...so there arent really a ton of places that'll take stuff like that.

    Dont really know what to do with them... i.e. dont know where i can take them. Anyone have any ideas?

    Im located in Northern VA, if it means anything..

    I've had bikes dropped at various places til either I could pick them up, or someone else could transport them....

    As a matter of fact, I have two 1100's slowly making their way here from Las Vegas, and a 600 Seca II working its way here from near Denver.......

    I've held bikes here for people, too........

    I would be willing to be a stop over in my area; I can't offer much in the way of storage or transport as I live in a townhouse without a garage, and I have no truck. I am, however, pretty proficient at pushing bikes around, my high score is 3 miles.

    I'm in the finger lakes region of upstate new york and border of northern Pa. Would be happy to help out any time anyone needs a dropping off or shipping point. Fortunate to have plenty of storage area!
