he also said he had it bored 20 over when he had it in houston so if that was done properly should be good to go..... other than working on it every time you want to ride it.  ;)

not worth $2K if it needs trany work. It's always an "easy fix" for the seller if the bike is sold!

I'd still buy it, (I really do want it myself...........) parts are readily available, and if you think Honda's are easy to work on, old Triumph's are a breeze! ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

no, i think he still has it. hes an old guy. emailing him is going to be a waste of time for the most part. if you want to talk to him you need to call the phone number listed in the ad.

2 pages of "I have an opportunity to get a good deal"

Just go there with some cash and get it for $500 less than he wants :)
