The bike is still in France but it had also developed a problem with starting. This is not new, it has happened before but I still don't know the fault. Sometimes all that can be heard is the clicking of the starter relay & sometimes I can hear the starter solenoid trying to kick in. Whichever...
For a big bike the Roadster feels very cramped on long rides. I am long legged and I end up sitting on the upswept portion of the seat. Something has got to give. It seems a peg forward kit is not being considered by Triumph. Maybe an aftermarket seat would help. Called Triumph tech help...
I saw this video and am convinced that I should save my pennies and buy one. Then I can truely ride year round...

Just found this on youtube. I think only one Harley has a radiator, Vrods, I should know, I have one. I figured the best place to get another opinion would be this site.
Thought I'd put a post up showing both of my bikes. I've wanted to do this for weeks, but time or lack of it has meant it's taken a while....

I was just killing time watching YouTube videos when I spotted a R3 engine in a OC/ Jessie James looking custom bike. Just thought you guys might find it interesting. The bike is at about 19:00 into the video.
The guy driving a Porsche Turbo asks "What kind of motor is in that thing?" And you respond with "2300 CC's in an Inline Triple" and he pulls out the parking lot rubbernecking and then crashing into the median scratching up the wheel and body panel of his car on his way out... all for just...
Hi All. From the beautiful Sth Coast of NSW, a riders haven. Wifey has given me the go ahead to fulfill my mid life crisis and up to now I've been torn between a TBird and a Rocket. It WILL be a Triump regardless. No HD for me...
Test rode a Storm last year and quite enjoyed it but there's...
I went to the dealership today and picked up all of the stuff that got taken off my new Black 2015 rocket3 touring to install the trike kit. I plan on selling all of the stuff to try to get some money to put on an exhaust. All of the stuff is brand-new never been used. I figured I'd ask here on...

Hi All!
I have just signed the contract for a 2010 R3 Roadster from a guy in southern Germany. However! If you look at the little flag in my user details, I live in Norway, approximately 2000 km from where the bike currently lives. This is rather a long ride, particularly since it has no plates...
If you you like retro styling and cafe racers + all number of special builds then this really is the event to go to. Can't make it myself this year cause I'll be riding in Germany but is really is a good day out there's a great atmosphere the likes of which you wont find at the NEC Birmingham or...
I was looking through EBay and spotted an 08 Roadster. I had a late 05 listed as a 06. First thing was to pull the engine and replace the output shaft bearings. It also had a lot of electrical problems . To start with I had to install the beaver ignition relay system. Then the Voltage relay...
