Man do I love the internet when it comes to buying motorcycle parts - new and used.  Today, I scored on ebay.  I have had my eyes on a Rekluse auto clutch by Z-Start for my YZ426 for quite some time now, but just couldn’t drop the almost $500 with the perch to do it.  Last weekend, I found one with the perch on ebay which appeared to be in good condition.  I will soon know as I was the high bidder - due to last second sniping - for $225 delivered.  Life is good.

I know this may sound trivial to you snot-nosed twenty & thirty somethings who have known no other form of media.  Let me tell you as one who has parted out many bikes using the back page classifieds of Roadracing World as well as all negotiation by phone, we have it much better now.  

Call me?  Yeah right.

While the internet may be impersonal compared to a phone call, it is so much more reaching and efficient.  Whether its online classifieds or ebay, it is vastly easier to get used parts than in times past.  I love it.
