[Tanx] Friend looking for a TA for sale someplace in New England

[Adam N.]

It's strange but I bought mine for $2,700  with bags and some other nice
touches.  I bought Jason's for $1,800 but it was a non runner but it was a
simple fix (I think it was an electrical ground in the ignition circuit).
Mint plastic and a little rust.  Low, low miles too. Transalp seems to be a
cult bike without any cult members.  People ask $5K but I doubt anyone ever
gets it.

BMWs are actual cult bikes. People will pay actual money for them and the
dress alike and talk with a lot of words that are meaningless to me.  I
believe you also have to have a beard or have had a beard. I am not
entirely sure about that last part. I used to be a member of the Yankee
Beemers so I have been inside the cult.
