I don't care ! LOL I really have no idea how this type of stuff happens to me but today I meet up with my wife for lunch and on my way home I'm cruising along in the passing lane (we do that in NJ LMAO) when I see a very fast flash of purplish pink out of the corner of my eye ! Well about 15 feet ahead is a right hand turn (((((EEEERR OOOOvvverrrr I go ! cut around the block pop out at the next street and BAM ! There it was ! Just laying there for the Trash men to come back for Thank God I saw this thing because it was headed to the dump..... Till I came alone ! The Trash Picker





Did I mention there where two bikes ? Man I really have to start carrying my camera with me all the time !

Lucky bast**d! The only thing I ever find is trouble. Good score. One day I will find one of those for my wife (or me).

Thank goodness you didn't opt for the monicker "trashcan man" because I would be afraid of you bringing an A bomb to Rockford.

Brian

NOS red dx pedals and NOS red high flange suzue hubs comming my way, gonna be here for saturday (i hope)...nice find homie,....and they were your favorite 4 letter F word....FREE!!!! LOL

Jon

Man, nice score!! Makes me wonder how many bikes end up in the dump each year. Haro's, Hutch's and Redlines are being crushed as we speak.

Nice save!!

86EK

great save smokin !that gt looks pretty nice !! what is the second bike , a kuwa freestyle ?

craig,its a diamond back......

Nice score you jersey guys always have the best luck.

Check the forks on that grey bike what if anything could you do on those platforms?!?! Is it a Diamond Back frame?

Unreal.... this happens to you ALL the time!! It's almost too much for me to handle anymore, and I'm not sure if we can be friends any longer!

I just paid 50 bucks for one of those white GT mallet stems!! UGH!

Nice picks!

The last thing I found waiting for the trash was a rusty Murray Track certified and an even rustier unidentifiable one. They were chrome so I had to stop...

Thanks Guys ! Jeff I'm cracking up over here ! Is that why you didn't answer your phone ?

Yup A Hot Streak and it is in cleaner shape then the GT but the GT is a GT LOL

Too cool! Are those white MX-1000s and a GT Epoch Peak HS I spy? You consistently have the best luck--good on you

Last week I was out of the office in the morning (picking up my wifes birthday present, so I had the f350 dually).

I took home her present and dropped off the truck and came back to work in my TL. When I walked in the door, two of my salesmen told me that they had seen two brightly colored bikes in the trash up the street from the office... It was almost 10:30 by then. I was like, WHY DIDN'T you call me.

I drove like a madman over there and the trash men had already picked them up....

I will never know, but the guys know now to call me on my cell if they ever see anymore.

"FREE"enterprise

always on the lookout.

Man, some people just fall in itand come out smelling like a million! BDD

Brian does smell...but not better then my smelly feet!!!! So should i come over and see these??? Or im not allowed to hang cuz i fall asleep on your guys couch too much??? You know where ill be...

Jon

Come over ! We like to draw on you when you zonk out !

Cool find!! Gotta love NJ.

I went back to the homepage and saw this ride. Something to aspire to eh?

Yo man You comin Sat. ? Yeah you... MNW

That's a great score, especially for that price.

The only thing I ever found in the trash was a mid 90's Dyno VFR.

BRIAN.....
you know how well that performer would look next to my purple world tour?

at least think of me on the f/f bro!

cool deal.... seems like NJ has alot of people throwing out perfectly good bikes. i know ive scored a few in the past

Awesome bike Brian...See you Saturday, Chris

Wow!

The most I found at a local dump was a 2000 GT Vertigo.....but nothing old school like that - and complete!!!

Stephen

Nice Haul. I'm green w/ envy bro.

85? DB Hot Streak...sweet. Oh yeah the GT is nice too-LOL.

Seriously, I'm into the DB's right now (and probably for another 2 or 3 days) as I scored a free 87 Hot Streak F+F and bars a few days ago.

Smokin' endo... I'll be there with bells on.

Now there's one more set of eyes in NJ checking out trash piles and garage sales for hidden treasures.

Mike

Nice score you got there. Hope i get some find like that soon. Spring is coming here. LOL

That is a great find.Since i really don't know much about the performer years is that 3 holes I see in the rear drop outs?So what year would that make it.I was thinking the decals was different on the 3 hole models.I could be wrong though.I am just going by what i read on here.

Dang, you guys have some high quality trash in NJ.

are you sure some kid didnt lay it there to run in for a second? LOL

sweet score!

That DB is a Mike D bike! Nice score I saved a LOOP TAIL Quad from the CRUSHER last year I can't wate to ride that bike!

Congrats on the saves!
I'll throw this out there again. One of the best places to find these things is at your local scrap metal yard. The good ones will have some giant bins just packed with bikes! The more up to date city dumps have guys pulling all recycleable scrap out and it gets sold to the yards. Only problem is that you usually find some VERY good stuff with dings, dents, and cracks! But at least they can still be saved!
