    you've done it now.. knocking intercoms and big antennas.. !

  2. Roadster Review and Comparison!

    Thats it..something like that would be spot on , like the gas flowed down pipes , think I shall have to look into it a bit more. Did you have it dyno'd and the mixture tested.

  3. From Speedmaster to Rocket

    your a lucky man with the bsa.. all the best from the uk

  4. Roadster Review and Comparison!

    point taken.. onto a different subject (but I dont know how to start a thread) maybe someone will read this and be able to help. I really want the shorty exhaust.. its advertised here in the uk but the seller says it wont fit the new abs roadster. has anyone fitted it and chopped it about. I...

  5. Roadster Review and Comparison!

    I feel bad now like I've upset my wife and I have to spend three days trying to find out why. I really meant no insult to cruisers. When I came onto this site and joined people were friendly and a massive percentage couldn't wait to tell me how they had glued on super chargers , with head mods...

  6. Roadster Review and Comparison!

    Thank you for your kind reply..I agree with you..yes the roadster is by definition a cruiser but triumph are trying to market it as a mental muscle bike..and thats the reason I bought it and hopefully many more converts will too. I meant no offence to the cruiser brigade.. I just expressed my...

  7. Roadster Review and Comparison!

    You missed my point I think.. and the roadster is not a cruiser , even triumph are trying to get away from that label with the roadster. I've done loads of track days and yes people have ridden rings around me.. james haydon made me look like I was going backwards. Your reply to my fair view is...

  8. Roadster Review and Comparison!

    I must be missing something?? floor boards , saddle bags and trailers on a motorbike?.. maybe someone could kit it out with a glass roof or a flushing toilet!. I respect cruiser boys but you are so far removed from what I get from motorcycles. Power and cornering are the thrill that keep me...

  9. Is the Rocket III for me? Hi from Canada!

    Well done . I've got the same one . I went to the motocycle show yesterday at the nec in birmingham uk . I had a long talk to the technical bloke on the triumph stand about anything and everything . I said that I could never leave my bike to do10k miles between oil and filter service . He was...

  10. Is the Rocket III for me? Hi from Canada!

    Having just read your post asking if a rocket is the bike for you all I would say is try one . I've had loads of bikes but got enjoyment from all of them in one way or another . If bikes are in you're blood then anything would hit the spot . On a more personal note I think you may have stumbled...

  11. A bit about me and my rocket 3

    I could sit and talk with you for hours.. did the tts kit work with no hiccups, is the bike still usable at low revs like they say. I'm not sure I like the belt configuration just behind the front wheel..does it pick up a lot of dirt. Is the supercharger self lubricating or attached to the...

  12. A bit about me and my rocket 3

    Do you ever wonder about the reliability?.. thats why I have to conform to the warranty.. the older ones with the ignition switch problems sounds scary. triumph need to have a better customer service don't you think. I wonder what the highest mileage done on one is.. andy

  13. A bit about me and my rocket 3

    I have looked at some of the carpenter tuned rockets..lovely engineering. There is a place just up the road from me at silverstone race track , tts engineering, they sell a super charger kit for around £3500. I quite fancy the idea of doing mine..but only when the two year warranty is up. thanks...

  14. A bit about me and my rocket 3

    Firstly I apologise if I have put this message in the wrong place..its all new to me but I thought other rocket 3 owners would like to know what I think of it. My very first bike was a triumph..a tiger cub 200 to be exact , my father came to our house back in 1977 and asked my mum if it was ok...
