Title: What's a good, old project bike?
Post by: Jorsher on August 06, 2010, 07:58:32 PM: First, does anyone know how easy it is to get bike parts from a salvage yard, put it together, and get it registered? I know it'll vary by state, but I'm assuming it's similar to a car where you just get it rebuilt and have it inspected.

My old man and I are going to a bike junk yard soon to see what they have. I'd like to find a "classic" bike as a project to rebuild/restore and putter around town. Aesthetics and performance are nice features.
