Thorn Raven wanted
« on: July 29, 2013, 11:18:13 PM »
Ive decided to sell my motorbike and buy a quality touring bike. I think the Raven Tour or Raven Sport Tour would be really good for what I need.
Ive got to get the bike back on the road, MOT etc and then sell it ! so I guess it may be a few weeks before I have the funds to start buying the Raven.
If anyone hears of a bike for sale I'd be grateful to know, or if anyone is interested in exchanging for a Triumph Thunderbird with low mileage !
I'm six foot with 32" inside leg so I guess I'm looking for a 565/600L size.
I hope its OK to place this here, I'm new to the forum but the posts make for fascinating reading.

Hi, Peter, and welcome to the Thorn Cycling Forums; nice to have you aboard!

Yes, you did just fine in placing your "wanted" query here. I'm hoping things will move along quickly for you so you can soon have the bike of your present dreams and sell the one of your past dreams. The Triumph Thunderbird sounds nice, and you'll be getting another wonderful "bike" in return. RTs ad RSTs are wonderful machines, and you won't have a moment's regret once the deed is done.

You've taken a great first step toward your goal by listing here, and I'm guessing it won't be too long before you get the lead you seek. Don't forget..SJS Cycles' (Thorn's mail-order retail arm) own listing on eBay and on the SJS Cycles site, usually here: http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/clearance-zone-dept756_pg1/ eBay is another source of used (use the search string "Thorn Bike" to get a lot of listings quickly, and don't forget to check the Bikes For Sale board right here on the Thorn Forum. All are good sources for finding a bike that will suit your needs to a "T"(horn).

All good luck!

Best,

Dan.
