Title: New ThruxtonR with farkles
Post by: Shorty on September 21, 2016, 12:16:40 AM: Another old goat bought a play racer he cannot ride. He added all the factory mods then decided "Not for me." Must be nice to have disposable income. :wink: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Triumph-Thruxton-R-/162210211722?forcerrptr=true&hash=item25c47b678a:g:gukAAOSw8w1X4WBi&item=162210211722

At least they didn't teach me an economic lesson....(https://www.searchlock.com/mirror/p?e=1&h=TrrTlTw2hALzpRqEpbjQ9NoQlVL091PhThQ5tB/eLh8w2n0j6B4W6zrH9WC57pIedFpubvnv04MKpr6opKj1+2sG/2JKoZVghB9ZkS3TE6b2/AVOJuqfJAQGgcKOBkrV&u=http://ep.yimg.com/ay/suspenderstore/red-suspenders-2-inch-wide-clip-39.gif) :wink:

I remember riding 900+ miles on my stock '83 850 LM-III...and I came back from that trip and changed those dreadful, "torture-on-the-wrists" clip-ons to low Super Bike bars, and that, and the "Stucchi-Luigi Comfort Seat" made a tremendous difference on long trips! (See photo). :cool:

Post by: pyoungbl on September 21, 2016, 02:51:59 PM: Hummm, MSRP $13.8 and he has a buy it now price of $12.5. The farkles don't usually add much to the value of a used bike so I wish him luck selling unless he is willing to take a substantial haircut.

Post by: blackcat on September 21, 2016, 03:31:07 PM: Base price on the Thruxton R is $14,500.

I forwarded your comment to my brother, who, bless his heart, responded with

" I just cannot help all the bikes that need good homes. When they come up with " Your $11 a month can help feed one hungry bike " then maybe I can do something.."

He should go find a surgeon. I did last month and my right hand is cured!
