    Trouble shifting into 2nd

    No part yet but hope? Dunno yet..... Very intelligent response. The dealer is willing to scavenge the part from one of the bikes on the showroom floor. The catch is getting Triumph to pay for the tear down and rebuild labor of the showroom bike. I am waiting for Triumph's response on that...

    Considering an R3? Whats accel like?

    Sehr gut Gut, ein anderes Deutsches an Bord zu sehen. Ich könnte nicht es besser gesagt haben selbst.

    Trouble shifting into 2nd

    Better idea Better idea to me would be to scavenge the part off of one of the other Rockets on the showroom floor for the part I need. The dealer can be inconvenienced instead of me.... Legally I am sure they cannot do it since the scavenged "new" bike would possibly lose it's warranty...

    Trouble shifting into 2nd

    Still no Bike... Good news : Triumph gave the green light regarding covering everything under warranty. Bad news : The main part I need is on back order, meaning nobody has any idea when the part will become available. Might be anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks just to get the part. After we get...

    Trouble shifting into 2nd

    I am taking the dealer's word for it at this point regarding California State Lemon Law rules. I have not researched it in depth to this point. I am very HOPEFUL that I do not have to cross the Lemon Law line. Thanks.

    Hello from SoCal

    I do not know why the Chiefs aren't better than they are... Maybe they can improve on last year's 9-7 record. I would bag on them about getting beat by the Colts in the playoffs (Larry Johnson rushed for a BIG 33 yards). I have to be careful because the Chargers were so LAME in the...

    Hello from SoCal

    Once all the facts are in, I will post a detailed account for all to read regarding the shifting issues. I will also post some photos of the bike once back from the shop. Thanks.

    Hello from SoCal

    To all Thanks for the Welcome even though I walked through the front door with my dirty boots on. My Rocket is one with the round footpegs - "normal" I gues you call it. Plenty of footpeg grindage in the first 643 miles. Looking forward to flooging this b*tch once I get it back from the...

    Hello from SoCal

    Brand new 2007 R3 in Socal. Black with Summer screen and broken shifter. I have posted some photos of other bikes I currently ride. Their shifters work fine. Looking forward to putting some miles on the R3 once it's back from the Hospital.

    Considering an R3? Whats accel like?

    Bomb went off - dust settling.... To all members born prior to 1965...I have jumped into the fray with a bang. Sorry about ruffling feathers. I do not doubt any other person's riding abilities. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. I am sure that there are guys who out ride me...

    Considering an R3? Whats accel like?

    Being able to ride comfortably on a sportbike and giving my height and inseam for others to compare to has nothing to do with cranial ability nor intelligence. A typo by hitting the wrong key has nothing to do with spelling or grammar (not that I really care). My posting was not meant to be...

    Considering an R3? Whats accel like?

    As far as Mastering sportbikes, it has zero to do with speed. Mastering sportbikes is all about cornering and leaning to maximum lean angles. Fun stuff even at medium speeds. The leaning of the bike and all that goes with is something that you simply cannot do on a cruiser. The power of the...

    Hello from Los Angeles...

    Nicest R3 Ever? Dude - that is THE BEST looking R3 I have ever seen. Period. Can you list all of your mods somewhere? I think I might jump on your bandwagon on some of them. SWEET ROCKET mi hermano!

    Trouble shifting into 2nd

    Nicht schon Sell a broken bike? Possibly, however I will pobably take a huge finacial slap in the face for it. I am considering these scenarios. 1) They work on the bike under warranty and fix it, I ride it forever and the problems are gone. Best case scenario here... 2) They...

    Considering an R3? Whats accel like?

    Ummmmm NO The R3 is not faster to any speed than a stock Hayabusa. I own both. An R3 RIDER may be faster from zero to 40 than another Hayabusa RIDER. I will consede that. Please do not kid yourself to think for a second that R3 can hang with a Hayabusa.....no, no, no, NO! Gracias and...
