    For Sale For sale in UK - low mileage 2008 RocketIII Touring - price reduction

    that would have been the obvious reason, and it is a contributory factor, but it was originally a long and tedious thought process around the bike being so skinny (Ah, English irony!) but the skeleton on the headlamp and a matching skeleton on the key are here to support the whole naming thingy...

    It is with masses of regret that I post this for sale - life can be cruel sometimes, so Skelly the Rocket has to move on to pastures new Triumph Rocket III by d1ck_browne, on Flickr I bought Skelly just over two years ago, and the first year was spent hooning around, two up with Rev. Mrs...

    What did you do to your Rocket today?

    Oh boy, the weather in the UK at the moment... My Rocket has done an embarrassingly small number of miles this year. I'm not a fairweather rider (honest), but I ride for fun and when it's raining so hard that you can't really see what's going on, fun it isn't. I did get out for a couple of...

    What did you do to your Rocket today?

    I couldn’t hear any puckering, but that was probably because of the tiny squeaking sound I was making. All I can hope is that it looked more fearless than it felt!

    What did you do to your Rocket today?

    Today, for the first time, I touched a foot-board down, which was mildly unexpected - the guy I had just overtaken tried to come past me as I entered the next bend, but on the wrong side (undertaking rather than overtaking) - I had to carry slightly more speed into the corner than I'd...

    I found the cup holder!

    Can’t you pour the beer in a cup?

    Removing the throttle bodies

    Ah, that'll explain it - I didn't see the one at that end - I'm so pleased I didn't try to force it :) Thank you!

    Removing the throttle bodies

    Is that front and back along the line of the bike (so left and right as you look at the throttle bodies from the side of the bike?) If so, I think I found the back one - attached to a metal bracket that itself bolts into the body top and bottom, but couldn’t see the other one - that’s likely to...

    Removing the throttle bodies

    I have a slight weep of oil from underneath my oil tank, so as it’s a little chilly today I decided to try the “shoogle the tank around a bit” fix. Problem is, I cannot get the darn throttle bodies off. I’ve taken off the air cleaner and loosened the three jubilee clips at the bottom of the...

    I found the cup holder!

    Who aid that you don’t need a cup holder on a motorbike? The perfect accessory for those chilly maintenance sessions is a nice warm cup of tea. How very English.

    What did you do to your Rocket today?

    lol, I hear you - I don’t normally get affected by stuff on TV, but this was different - a lot of personal tragedy and it really wasn’t great, hence I just needed to clear my head a little. Just goes to show that, sometimes at least, the universe gives you exactly what you need, exactly when...
