    Salvage Yards Around Here?

    I'm in the Springfield, MA area. Does anyone know of any salvage yards around here?
    The ones I used to go to back in high school for my beater cars basically are setup like parts stores now, with a specific inventory and they take the cars apart ahead of time.
    I'm looking for somewhere where you can go and just find random bike parts and figure out what would fit. I just bought a pretty beat up SRX 250 and want to start building it back up as a project bike, though not necessarily stock.
    Thanks.

    Nevermind, googled it and found it. Thanks.
    Anyone know if there are any closer?
    If not, looks like I'll be making a day trip up to NH.

    If you go there they will tell you to look at their ebay store too. I have called and they were no help over the phone.

    Re: Salvage Yards Around Here?

    Ok, thanks. I'll look at the eBay store, but it doesn't sound like this will be much help.
    I really kind of want a place where I can scrounge around a bit, not knowing EXACTLY what I'm looking for, then come across something and think "Hey, this might look good..." or "This might fit."

    At 32, am I too young to miss the "good 'ol days" of junk yards where you could go, pick through some stuff, then on the way out they'd take a look at what you had and say "Eh... just give me $50"?

    But its not what your looking for. They expect you to tell them what you want then they would find it.
