every now and then someone will post about something for sale they found on e-bay. cool stuff too. every time I look for a deal on e-bay the search usually comes up with just t-shirts and mugs for triumph stuff. Is there a trick or special way to search to find the cool stuff? [not what you're looking for though].  Also, on your rplies, how do you get the graemlins? mike

Three separate searches for me saved to a Slimbrowser group so they're done at once and open in different tabbed browser:
"bonneville america"
triumph america -"america's cup" -"americas cup" -car, -cars -panama -emmett -"triumph in"
triumph speedmaster
Second one eliminates a bunch of "junk" returns.
Regards,
Tom

Triumph America Speedmaster
Does the trick for me all the time. Sometimes I put Bonneville in the mix

Dont just put in "Triumph"- unless you want to keep abreast of the competition!

I search under Motorcycle parts, then simply add "Speedmaster" in the destription. Normally I only get about 30 items. If I put in "America" instead of "Speedmaster", I get some parts not at all related to a triumph.
If you put in "Triumph Speedmaster" you may eliminate all those Speedmaster parts that did not also have "Triumph" in the destcription.
