Sounds like a nice bike, with all the go fast and trick lookin' goodies too. Let the guy know you're interested, feel him out about negotiability, if you're willing to wait a few weeks, especially this time of year, you should be able to get a good deal. Make sure you take it for a good test ride, and give it a thorough going over, remember it's buyer beware.

And when was it sold? Triumph has a tidy two year warranty that runs post sale. My 2001 Tiger still had a year warranty when purchased used end of 2004. That's worth something to me.

they aren't ugly! In fact i have one tattoo'd on my friggin' rib cage.
My Thruxton tank badge tattoo

Whoa - sorry for you :-D

Actually not a bad tattoo - could of been darker, already looks a bit old.

Anyways, I like the tat - looks better than the real emblem.

But taste is taste; beauty is in the eye of the beholder my friend!

Ok, i'm going to take a breath, relax and realize that i'm on a triumph forum and not a Tattoo forum. The Tattoo doesn't look "old". He used Grey wash to make it look more like a picture of the actual badge. if he would have done it in a traditional manner with an outline it would have looked more like a drawing of a picture of a triumph badge.

Now that is settled. I do like the T-100. The real ugly badge is the stupid '68 clear plastic badge with the triumph decal on it. I don't really see how that would make one look more like a '68 bonnie.

Agreed there - that plastic badge is horrible and should not be allowed.

I did say I liked your tat - no offense bro! :hammer:

None taken. I wish they would make one like the old tiger badge like on Brando's bike in the wild one. That could would be a cool badge.

hey, if there is anyone out there that has their stock thruxton badges and doesn't want them I want to try and get some to experiment with.
