Selling my Thunderbird

[Papa Lazarou]

Redundancy forces sale: Thunderbird 900

Sadly, I need the dosh, now, after 3 months out of work.

I will get it professionally cleaned before sale.

My 1997 Triumph Thunderbird 885. The best Hinckley Triumphs were made prior to 1998.

Around 42K. Lots of chrome and rechrome where the old chrome had suffered. Paintwork, in the unusual green and silver, in good nick. Heated grips, Scotoiler, centre stand, Hagon shock, new front forks (cosmetic reasons only-the lacquer was gone), clocks changed for white faces as they look better and many other extras. FSH.

It comes with TOR and standard pipes.

Will have a year's MOT.

Offers around £3,500. These bikes are appreciating very fast. Two years ago it was worth a grand less-check out Ebay or dealers websites.

Don't want to sell but it's the house or the bike. I'm in Sussex but can deliver.

Sorry to hear about the lack of work. It's the effing times.

Sorry to hear about the lack of work. It's the effing times.  

It is, sadly.

Still, attempting to sell a bike on an American forum with a few Brits on it, isn't exactly hard sell. If I can get a job in the next two weeks, the bike can stay.

Well, if you need an intermediary step before you resort to MCN, you might try londonbikers.com

Good luck to you.

[Papa Lazarou]

Thanks. Still waiting to hear about a temp job in Oxford.

[Mr.Black]

I will send you five bucks if you need it.

It will be that filthy dirty 'Merican stuff though.

[Papa Lazarou]

5 male deer will do just fine.

[Ralf]

Sorry to hear about your job situation, but good luck finding something else!

[Papa Lazarou]

Happy Birthday Ralf!

[Ralf]

Happy Birthday Ralf!

Thank you, that's mighty friendly of you!

Hope you find something soon..... Things might get worse, before they get better (world-wide.... that is)

[Papa Lazarou]

Well-it's serious now. The Oxford job didn't materialise, neither did the two after that. I still have some irons in the fire but my bank account needs a boost. It's on Ebay Uk.

(yes I know I shouldn't post an external link like this but gimme a break, please)

Hope things pan out for you, James.

[Papa Lazarou]

Cheers Ralf. I'm getting few interviews and not getting appointed to anything.

Hey Papa, sorry to hear about the redundancy. Understandably, the bike has to go. Good luck with the sale and more so with the job front.

[Papa Lazarou]

Oh shit, the rip off merchants have now started targettinmg me. for example:

Dear redjames1234,

Sure, the earliest I can come down is next Saturday as the insurance hasn't come through. Would that be ok? Do you need a deposit?
Can you not get the job till you have sold me the bike?
Are the loud pipes on it or the standard one. I would prefer the loud ones on it. Just to wake everyone up in the morning. It's nice to be a rebel without a cause!



oops, he's real  

the bike goes next weekend for £3k.
