Britbike forum Forums Buy & sell - private adverts only! Garage sale - The private buy & sell board 1970 TR6R 4k miles

1970 Triumph TR6R with about 4k miles. I'd call this a relatively complete rebuildable basket case. Missing pipes, mufflers, seat, carb, and correct tank badges. Most of the small parts that get altered or go missing seem to be there. Still has the 1970 Virginia inspection tag, and UK made Goldstar tires suggesting it never saw much use. Motor is free, bike does kick over. VIN has been cleared with local police for bonded title. No Title bill of sale only. $1500
Also have a '78 T140 for $800

Sounds like a great opportunity for someone to get a "twofer"!

Wish I was closer!

I also have the original keys.

A bonded title is a state-issued title that has a certain time limitation (for potential previous owner or lienholder to make a claim) after which it converts to a standard title. The bond will pay out a certain amount if a legit claim surfaces within the bond period, I believe; it may vary from state to state.

i am very familiar with bonded title experience in NC you get the 'bond' from insurance company for a couple hundred bucks the bond means that if anyone comes around saying bike was swiped you are protected the bond is good for a couple of years in the meantime the NC Highway Patrol License and Theft folks will pay you a visit or you take bike to them (it must be completely assembled but need not be running) and they will run serial number through database the database goes back a long way my1972 norton frame showed bike stolen in 1974 but recovered and cleared same year.....overall to get bonded title is around $300 and a ,lot of trouble not to mention sweating it out while numbers get run through database..........i have been down this route twice and will never ever do it again...it is a crap shoot to the max
PS if it shows stolen and not cleared they can seize bike on the spot

Yes, NC is one the MOST "gestapo" of the states that are hard-nosed. Definitely the worst for impounding bikes.

I still wonder what the payout value is, on the state boded titles? Is it the Bill Of Sale value, Declared (by you) value based on your cost as assembled, a state-determined nominal value, or some other number?

And good luck finding anyone at DMV that even remotely understands the process... or an officer from the license and theft division that understands "inspect" means "to look at" not a safety inspection.

As I understand it, all of this nonsense was a kneejerk reaction to an incident years ago when one of their own was cutting titles for their buddies who were building kit cars and wanted them titled as originals... allegedly.
