Ya, nice of ya to boot me in the arse when I tell ya about the bike. Se how well I adjust your valves.............
Just kidding bro, and for all the rest of you guys, here's the skinny. The price of the bike was 100$ Tax, tag, title, and dealer fees came to 181$ When I posted over on delphi, I had miscalculated the fees, and never fixed my post. Out the door was 281$
The pics posted don't show all the rust common to chrome that hasn't been properly cared for. It also had some issues with the electrical system like no brake lights, and the aux driving lights inop. The paint is in pretty good shape except for rub marks from one of those leather tank trim things. I spent sunday and today working on her. It runs well, but does nees the valves adjusted, oil change, brake fluid flushed, and carbs synced. She'll run as good as any stock America can with TOR's on it when all is said and done. It needs a lot of time cleaning it up, and the rims are beyond hope in a few spots.I spent almost three hours just polishing the wind screen it was so hazed over. I also had to make a bracket for my EZ-Pass.
I just got luckey on this one. When we first got the bike in, it was offered to our newest tech who's bike got stolen while going to school in Daytona. It really wasn't his thing, and would have cost him around 700 for a bike he didn't really like. After about two weeks, it wound up that they could let it go for much less, and I jumped on it. Normally a bike like this would be sold wholesale to a local used bike dealer. Our boss decided to throw us a bone figuring the other guy would jump on it. He wants a newer BMW, and I wanted a commuter bike to keep my black Bonnie out of the summer rains.
My name is Pete, and I do work for Gulf Coast MC in Ft Myers Fl. If any still doubts this deal on the bike, I'll have it at the shop this Saturday when newt drops his bike off for some needed service.
I'll be checking in here on a daily bassis, and if anybody needs help or part numbers for OE stuff, just give me a shout. I have access to Triumph's dealer site from home, and can pull up numbers in an instant with availability, and MSRP.
Pete
