Found this in the local Craigs List today. Only $3500. http://denver.craigslist.org/mcy/372251984.html

boy - that does look like a deal. That's a wondeful engine and a nice looking chassis.

I just about bought one of those instead of my Speedy. Awesome bike.

I've still got my '98 TBS and will take it to my grave. That is a steal for sure!

TBS's have been going for a lot more on fleabay and on craigs.

I think I'm going to go check it out tomorrow (Saturday). I kind of hope someone else buys it first so I can avoid the temptation.

Great bike. Those triples have an awesome powerband, an awesome sound, a very unique feel, and are completely bullet proof (except the ignition coils and sensor, which is a $30 part that takes about 10 minutes to change out. I have a 98 Sprint Sport and really enjoy it but wish it didn't have the forwad lean. The TBS bars are a in a great position though so it has all the positives without any of the negatives! Go for it and don't look back.
Also, Triumphrat has a very active community of folks with carburated Hinkley triples so any questions you may have or any issues that may come up they can support you with.

Still have that mike? Jane was so tempted to come over and buy it when you were retarded and trying to sell it. Heck, I almost bought it!
A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.

Called this morning and it's pretty much spoken for - he'll let me know if it doesn't sell.  Probably for the best though!

Still here and not going anywhere. I had a couple deals on it go sour and decided it was not meant to leave. Bad enough I said goodbye to the Speedmaster. I might sell the Yamaha or Honda fixer-uppers(pretty much fixed up btw), but not the TBS. How is the new place?
