Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Maybe he'll chop it! <g>
or add "sucks" under the signature....
A two tiny bottles of wine under the sig would also be funny.

Seeing those pictures reminds me ~~ I really like the knee pads ~~ one of these days I have got to get me some.
Did anyone notice that the 2005 was listed as 865 cc not 790 cc? I didn't read the description ~~ just looked at the pictures ~~ was the bike bored out?

Read the auction and it seems the owner wanted to just "Sell it" probably realizing that his signature isnt worth bubkis.
2007 Custom America with BUBs
I make my own parts cause I cant afford to buy theirs.

Well...I see there's at least one guy on ebay who seems jazzed about owning "Billy's Bike" here.... ________________________________________________________ Questions from other members Q: Hi Tom, I'm extremely happy to see this item listed again. I emailed you last time after the auction had closed. I am VERY serious about this item...more Answered on Sep-05-08 A: Hi, You are going to get a great deal this time around. We listed this Triumph on: Mar 13, 2008 - Starting price: $9,000.00 Feb 09, 2008 -...more Ask seller a question __________________________________________________________ (I sure hope this guy realizes that this ISN'T the bike Dennis Hopper rode in that one particular movie!!!)  
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)

Ironically, just days before I bought my 2008 TBA, I was watching this auction. I had the bid filled in and my finger on the 'place bid' button when that voice in my head said, "don't do it, Joe! don't do it!! Do you really want to explain to people why it says 'Billy Joel' on your fender?? How lame!!"
I tried to do a post-auction end run with the seller and get it at a lower price, and he actually had the nerve to ask for a higher price than the auction minimum. I told him that for me, Billy Joel's signature detracted from the value of the bike...

Yep! I agree with ya, Joe!!! But what say IF it had the signature of maybe a Gary Nixon, a Gene Romero, or maybe any REAL Triumph motorcycle legend proudly emblazened somewhere upon it's flanks, HUH?!  (now THAT would be kind'a cool, RIGHT?!)

And sooooooooo.....guess WHAT, Joe?!!! It JUST so happens I have the ONE and ONLY 2002 Cardinal Red Triumph Bonneville America with BOTH Gary's AND Gene's signature as I said "proudly emblazened upon it's flanks"!!! Yep! And I'll sell it to YOU for "only" 25 GRAND!!!  (but first I'll be right back...I gotta go to CVS and buy myself a Sharpie marking pen)

Actually, what I really wanted was John Voit's Triumph America...complete with wood side panels...
Or was that Jon Voight's Speedmaster?

Could have been worse ya know, Bike could have said Jay Leno on it
The percentage you're paying is too high-priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams
