    Another dealer gone.

    Thought I'd call into Boyd Yung Triumph /Harley dealer in Toowoomba yesterday for a look, it's been a while and seeing as that's where my Rocket was purchased from. Surprised and disappointed to find out they gave up Triumph in January. Apparently had enough of lack of factory backing and no...

    It's fixed at last

    over 5 weeks off the road with an electrical fault. It was the main power lead from the battery, the wire had broken inside the plastic sheathe covering the spade connector where it connects to whatever?. Mechanic said that could have been why it let me down the first time about 3 months ago...

    Paint damaged

    couple of weeks ago took the covers off the bike and noticed a smear on the tank, without wanting to sound disgusting it looked like someone had sneezed on it. No one touches my bike or uncovers it so was at a loss as to what it was. Anyway got a rag and wiped it and thought I'll give it a...

    Dipstick

    at the risk of making myself look like a total dickhead I am going to ask this anyway! What is the optimum point in time to check the oil level? Usually, I put the bike on the 'Flip" maintenance stand and run it for about 5 minutes then shut it off and then check the oil level within the...

    H cafe

    Going to the H cafe tonight at Dorchester on Thames....I'm told there's been as many as 600 bikes there on a Monday night. Hoping some forum members might be there. Makes me wish I had my Rocket with me, been here 2 weeks now and not seen one yet.
