Buying A STOLEN KTM Duke 690 And Fixing It In ONE DAY

  • My mission to clean some cars out backfired. I went to Oklahoma City to sell the $500 Porsche 944, after I unloaded it I hit up Randy from Auto Auction Rebuilds to see what he was up to. After ending up at his place we started looking at his projects and this stolen 2014 KTM Duke 690 he picked up from the insurance auction was tempting. I asked him how much he wanted and he said less than he paid for it so I bought it immediately. Now it’s home, so let’s get this bike sorted out and make it look new!
    Thanks to ‪@AutoAuctionRebuilds‬ for selling me this beast!

    Are you afraid the police will watch your videos and arrest you? Something something evidence something something warrants and due process of law
