    Where is the Triumph north america staff!?

    Trust me, that thing was printed before I even got the bike and it did come in very handy indeed. But I had to go do the recall at the dealer, so that didn't leave me no choice. Anyway, took her out for a first drive yesterday, about 100 miles or so. Holy ****e, that is one amazing machine ...

    Where is the Triumph north america staff!?

    Right, the dealer is renowned here to be a ****ing robber (they are a BMW and Ducati concession, as well as Triumph and a few other minor brands like KTM and like Piaggio). But anyway, I'm all done with the stuff I needed to do there so I won't be back that for sure.. Besides, I'm just going to...

    Too cold to fire up a rocket ?

    Hello gain mac. Ya, got it pretty much sorted out, I just need to drop by Canadian Tire when the weather's decent to have it all done. Afterwards she'll be registrable, but at -10 celcius, I'm not game to drive her to Canadian tire yet haha.

    Too cold to fire up a rocket ?

    You took the words right out of my mouth there (need I remind you this isn't very hygienic by the way :p) All kidding aside, this place is definitely a gold mine, and not just because of the information you can find here, but because of the PEOPLE you find here as well. I must say I was quite...

    Too cold to fire up a rocket ?

    You guys rock my life. It was in fact the vacuum line going into the sensor which came off, probably when I lowered the tank. Now because I let her run for a while with that disconnected, I think I fouled the plugs up a bit, because at first it sounded as though she ran on two cylinders. After a...

    Too cold to fire up a rocket ?

    Hello gents. I got my rocket not long ago and couldn't really ride it, still, I did about 5kms on her on apart from a little hesitation at 2k rpm, it ran fine. Now I decided afterwards to do the basic maintenance on her. She had a plug that didn't fire correctly based on the dealer's report...

    Where is the Triumph north america staff!?

    Yes, they definitely need to up the ante if they want to have any hope at remaining in business here... I mean, I explained the whole situation to the lad who returned my call, and he just stood there, silent, after telling him they didn't do the recall properly and left me with a limping...

    Where is the Triumph north america staff!?

    thanks lad. Well, I do get warm fuzzies when I think about all the fun I'll have riding her about, but thinking about the dealer is somewhat of a dis-pleasant feeling I fear... But amazingly, I faxed my receipt yestarday night at about 8pm and this morning they had processed my request at the...

    Where is the Triumph north america staff!?

    Ohh, sounds good, I thought the bike needed a lettre from triumph. I'll fax them my receipt from the dealer, maybe that'll help. I'll see Edit : I'm just off the phone with the RIV and triumph. The lad that returned my call said that the dealer was correct and that they didn't give a feck that...

    Bike is in Canada, customs are cleared, RIV is paid but they need the recall lettre from triumph, recall was campain no. 386 which was done in Canada by that imbecile dealer.

    Where is the Triumph north america staff!?

    Hello lads. Anyone know where the hell the blokes at triumph are ? I've got numerous issues I have to settle with them and they can't seem to be bothered to pick up the phone or call back. Things are somewhat time critical as I need them to do my stupid recalls properly and update their website...

    Carbon headlight bowls

    That's neat ! Could be fun to see if he could make a proper CF petrol tank too being at it, that could surely save some weight and look fine !

    Greetings from Atlantic Canada fellow Rocketists !

    Thanks very much, you got my question spot on. I reckon they must be TOR silencers then, because the noise is definitely too loud to be factory original (but sooo good it's orgasmic haha !). The bike is in storage at the moment but a soon as I get back to it I'll have a look at the bottom of the...
