RE: [emrat:4433] Conflict Solved!

I think it's someone else's turn to rescue a Triumph.

My interest seems to have settled on finding low-mileage, very-good condition 955 cc Triumphs for a reasonably modest price (thanks again, Curtis!). All I need to complete my collection is a Sprint ST . . . . but I'm not interested in the Tiger (no offense, Mr. Warfman).

Anyway, I have a possible purchase up here on Vashon Island: a black 1983 R65 BMW with an 800 cc big-bore kit installed by the famous San Jose BMW shop. My friend, Steve, owns it, but has not been able to ride it because he has a heart problem over the last few years. He said that, if he decides to sell it for $2,800, he would first have to offer it to his brother-in-law. I rode the bike around the island yesterday, just to exercise it for him. It has an after-market German exhaust system that cackles and roars. It's quite a hoot to ride and, at about 5,000 rpm, it launches!

For those of us who are dedicated to rescuing Triumphs, I found one in dire need of being rescued. I saw a very rough Triumph TT600 at a p a pawn shop in the 7400 block on West Colfax. They want $2,000, which seems high for the condition of the bike.
