The odyssey begins !

It was a catastrophe for me also, since i'm not as smart as Frerd i have to pay somebody to fix the spyder, about $2800 spent so far and the spyder is not even at the repair shop yet!

it's insured isn't it ... fire f#cks forensics remember ..hahaha

I told him to push it off the side of a mountain. At least 20 of us saw that truck run him off the road.

I had no idea you could take that many parts off a Rocket.
You seem to be all over it though, Fred. Good luck with it.

It looks like you are doing a good job of getting it apart. Let me know if you need the special Triumph tools for removing/replacing the engine.

Impressive skills. Makes me wonder about the wear on a bike after 50K? Seems like the final drive wd. be designed to go a lot longer given the power and torque of the beastly engine?

The only reason Rick let him ride behind him is because he knew he was safe with the rider's backrest

I did have to reach around and help him downshift a couple times per Steels instructions

Thanks for the offer Ian. I got the special sockets in a bunch of Triumph tools I bought on eat-me-bay a couple years ago. Scored so big I felt sorry for the seller. Got the 2 sockets, clutch hub holder, alternator rotor puller, cam sprocket holder, and another large wrench with two pins sticking out for holding something inside the engine for $18.00. NOBODY bid on it. The ***** about having tools is then you have to fix stuff.

Ya, I'm great at this part. I just have no idea how it goes back together

No, but he was apparently around it enough that some of his bad mojo got on it. Either that or we were with him when the Spyder died. Maybe my bike was tired and saw a good way to get a rest.
