Probably a lack of general maintenance along the years.
Using the wrong oil. Storing them for years without draining gas,oil, etc.
Pushed in a corner of a garage or barn and just forgotten.
All of them just waiting for this forum to bring them back alive.

What junkyard? I've been looking for a cheap one to turn into the "Hunting Spree." Urban camo, 1" lift, knobbies. Haven't stumbled onto a cheap one yet, though.

30-40!? 8O thats crazy, w/out pics I just can't believe that. But if its true, you should salvage all of them and part them or fix em up!

thats still really good, thats a great investment if you have the time and $ to fix em up.. theres a guy here in wisconsin that does that and puts the completed scooter on ebay for like 500-800 bucks a pop, thats nice, and gratifying in the fact that you know the entire bike in and out.
