Triumph America donated two motorcycles that ended up going for around $97 grand, for charity. Read about it here

Wow, I guess that guy really wanted those bikes or he was just a rich dude with nothing else to do with his money.

WOW! $97grand for a couple of Triumphs...and that were NEVER owned by Steve McQueen NO LESS!!!

Ya know guys I was just thinkin'...I wonder if all of us BA.com members signed a Triumph, I wonder what it would go for???

What cha bet...HALF of M.S.R.P.! 'Cuz people would say it was DEFACED!!!

Actally, in cases such as this, it's nice to see that some people who seem to have more money than sense, can share some of their wealth for very worthy causes.

Cheers,

(you know I was ALSO thinkin' that if those millionaires who go crazy and pay those outrageous prices at the Barrett-Jackson auto auction each year would just contribute 10 percent over the market value of what they bid on those muscle cars each year, the Red Cross would be FLUSH!!!)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

And, on top of that, OCC didn't have anything to do with them! Oh wait, then they would have cost $97K each....
