Was at a farm auction where an older fellow was retiring to town and selling off his stuff, his adult son was helping demo the equipment as it sold.

The auctioneer pulled his truck down the line to a Honda trike.

When the son fired it up it ran OK but had a terrible growl coming from a cracked side case cover.

Son tried to put it in reverse to demo it and ended up driving it forward into the side of the auctioneers truck, no serious damage.

The father came over and the two of them fiddled with it.

Next attempt to demo it thinking it was in reverse they hit the gas and drove it hard into the door on the auctioneers truck.

At this point the auctioneer none too impressed told them to shut it off right now it will be sold as is.

Got it for a song, walked over to it, fired it up, hit the button and brake lever to release the reverse lockout and drove it to my trailer.

The look on the owners face was not a happy one.

$30 for a used side cover and it is still running great today.

Bottom line is it is not always someone messing with equipment to get it cheaper, sometimes the seller is his own worst enemy.
