Turbocharged
A couple of weeks ago my wife and I took a long bike ride, as the day was nice. During the ride I switched bikes with my wife. I wanted her to ride my R3, as she rides a Harley bagger and was a bit intimidated by the weight of the R3. Long story short she rode it fine and liked it.
But while she was riding the bike, the right side cover blew off. I was riding behind her so I was able to stop and pick it up. Scratched up pretty good. I had a buddy at a local body shop repaint it. $20.00.
I called my Triumph dealer to order a new ribber grommet that was gone and the dealer told me he had never seen this happen before. Yea right! I've heard some here say they have lost theirs!
Anyway, Triumph has a new part number for the grommet. Maybe they made it better. I'm always careful when I reinstall the covers hoping this won't happen.
