Getting rid of a bike to get another?

I'm gonna be buried with the TLR beside me then....
Still gonna have a comfortable ride too. I guess I'm gonna be stuck with at least 2 bikes, and one is gonna be the TLR. Don't mind at all.
As for totaling it, or getting it ripped off, is not the answer, I was putting this out here, to see if there was anyone considering owning this bike, but I'm just wasting my time... It's unique, has a lot of history, and I put a lot of work into it to make it that way.
If you looked and saw what a stock TLR is worth, and put in a couple extra bucks for all the crap it has, or has been done to it, you would see what you could have it for.
I'm not looking for what it's appraised, for that would be stupid, but on the other hand, I wouldn't just sell it to anyone either. It would go to someone who can appreciate it for what it is, and what it represented to a lot of folks out there. Yup, it isn't a Ducati, or a Gixxer. I always tell people, it's not what a TLR is, it is what it should have been. Looks like I'm keeping it!

Well, got the TLR, got a Thruxton, but after riding the T-Bird, it kind of opened another aspect of what I would like to have. Granted my GF Kelli, has her own ride, but this just would allow us to ride 2 up if we wanted to, and I could still have fun with the T-bird if I was solo. The Thruxton or the TLR doesn't offer this option to ride 2 up comfortably, and I'm not the youngster i used to be, and the TLR has it's limits when going for a long haul with my aging bones anyway. So, I have an option, trade up the Thruxton, or sell the TLR. I would love to have all 3, but until I hit the lottery, and have a big warehouse to keep them in.....

I've seen the front of Mark's TLR airborne more than once.
I also think I've seen the front of Pete's Tuono spend more time in the air than on the ground.
That's it... I'm calling a lawyer & suing for defamation.
