Can't you see I need that **** sissy bar more than you do, hell it was $300 bucks new am I going to have to spend 350 for this time??
The guy selling it lives 5 miles away from me, if you run it up to $300 bucks, I'm going to break in his house steal it and bend it up with a hammer!

All jokes aside found another Triumph T-bird rider in my town by seeing his add online at the fleabay. I meet Triumph people in the strangest places.

BTW- if you are bidding on my sissy bar... I'm taking names and numbers buddy!

I want to tell you this up front...it's not me bidding. I already paid too much for one. Did you notice the emblem on the back is missing. The guy I got mine from on ebay conveniently didn't take a picture of the back. I purchased a metal logo at my dealer.

Son Of A....

Oh well, guess I'm gonna be stuck with it. Hopefully that tard bidding against me will win it.
I've had the chance to buy several over the years and didn't as they are not chrome and I hate polishing aluminum. I swore after buying the TBS I'd never own another bike with wire wheels as I hate cleaning them thus a blacked out bike, as it turns out I bought two more both with wire wheels... I just keep creating more work and less riding time. More stuff= more BS to take care of.
BTW- stop bidding my stuff up you crazy fools

I can't believe I missed that emblem thing. CRAP

If you do win the sissy bar, there is a small metal emblem with adhesive that fits nicely over the holes. I couldn't find it at any on line stores but if you look on Triumph web site in Accessories under the America and then the "other" category you'll find it.

I bought some TB leather panniers/saddlebags off e-bay and needed the support rails to go with them, i got the panniers cheaper than people are paying for the rails....QUIT IT, WILL YA!

...so i use a bungee for them instead...

I think it's Johnny Dangerously

Quality items on ebay are driven up to or past market value all the time. Good deals are harder and harder to come by. It is one crowded auction house.
Triumph parts are rare, t-bird parts are getting to the point where I'm reluctant to ride the bike hard or use it as a daily transportation. I already baby the bike like it's an antique.
Bits of Tbird Chrome have become treasures.

Right on the money for both. Johnny D. is the right answer!
Now tell him what he's won Bob.
I agree one the Triumph parts too. Maybe I should ask more for my Predator pipes since they are no longer available! RARE ITEM!!! buy it now for $100,000 bucks!

Man I tell you fleabay is both a godsend and a curse.

**** bidders ruining my sales, I want to change it to the lowest bidder with the most friends from now on who gets my stuff.

I never win bids, If I see a good deal on ebay, I do the by it now, but very rare. Also I have noticed, is when you see a killer price, it is the shipping and handling that brings it to a price, I could drive to the dealer and get for the same price and pay the taxes and have it that day. Ebay used to be good, but nowadays, not so much.
