(Sigh)... Amy's pointed out that when the thermometer starts dropping and I have to put up the classic, I won't be able to fit all my bikes in the garage (grumble)... Soooooo... I've regretfully decided to seek a buyer for my 1998 Triumph Thunderbird Sport. I think she's a real beaut, and has some nice appearance and maintenance-type upgrades. Here's a pic: More images and a full description of what's been done to the bike can be found here: 1998 Thunderbird SPort (TBS) - Black and Yellow! - Triumph Forum: Triumph Rat Motorcycle Forums I'll accept offers for less than my asking price from fellow MOMs or their friends (especially if they'll come ride with us sometime ), so even if you're not a bike person but know someone that is, let them know... -Matt
Funny, Nate and I just talked about you yesterday. Good looking bike, although I think I am going to go for a Bonneville. Good luck with your sale.
I do like the Bonnies, but the triples are just SO SMOOTH and are a good deal more rare (particularly the T'bird Sport). Honestly it kills me to even consider selling her, and I'm looking around for other alternatives (paying for a garage for the winter months, etc.)
Matt I could provide you some garage space this winter if you want more time to make the decision. My garage has enough space for a bike and it would be no problem to hold it for you. I always liked those so if it sat in my garage for the winter I might be able to sell the idea to Jill
Yep, Triumph triples are a good demonstration of what a nice engine a triple is - much more character than a buzzy four. If the next series Mini's three-cylinder engine is as nice, it'll be lovely.
Hehehe... if you think it'll help with the sell, LMK. The friend of mine who lets me store the classic said he has the room for both if it comes to that, but I'll drive to two places if it'll help a brother gets his'self a nice bike. And if she digs her heels in, I bet it'll sell in the Spring when people are looking. Thanks, man!
This is a great time of year to buy a fair weather machine not sell one. In spring you'll sell it fast. Maybe to Allen.
I just sent the link to a friend at work. He has been bouncing back and forth between getting a bike or some type of roadster. I'll let you know if he is interested.
The TBS has WAY more character than some generic roadster. And it can TURN, too! Always gathers a crowd literally everywhere I stop (unlike generic "hawgs" where most people actually flee, due to excessive fart-like blatting). Have him drop me a line: imagox(at)yahoo(dot)com
