I was just cruising the Triumph site and was drooling over the '07 R-3 Classic. I think I'm in love with the PacificBlue/New England color. I think it's the best looking R-3 so far. Hmmm. $15,699. If I sell my kid, put a 3rd mortgage on the house... yeah it could happen. Lucky for me we don't have dealer here anymore.  Wichita is only 3 hours a way, Dallas 4..they've got Triumph dealers.

Yeah,
Bogart's in Birmingham (AL) has a leftover Blue Tribal for $13,495 out the door. I sure do look good on that baby!
It's listed on ebay HERE - reserve's been met at $11,000 with 2 days left.
My bride says if I get a Rocket, I sell my America. So, I'll have to settle for the BMW K1200LT (or GoldWing). Our second bike will be only for HER long distance comfort.
Ride Safe,

Triumph, it's how I live and what I ride.

Naw. He'll be 16 next month and has basic survival skills (mooching money off his mother)so he would probably be okay

I was cruising E-bay last night. There are quite of few R-III's for sale, several from dealers with no miles. Saw an '05 that was brand new for something like 13K. Also saw a couple of nice 60's Triumph Tigers.

Man, Skillet, the Tribal Blue, R-3 went for $12,000. A great looking bike and a great deal. That now makes me think that paying MSRP would be throwing away my money. I probably won't be ready for a couple of years anyway since I bought a house 4 months ago. But hey, maybe a Blue and White Classic will be sitting some where waiting for me by then.
