Triumph Rocket III description

 Very nice one-owner bike that has seen little use. The biggest production motorcycle in the world, it has great performance yet still delivers superb fuel economy. Handles very well for a large (704 lbs dry) bike. Aftermarket fiberglass saddlebags replaced the original leather bags. 140 hp 3-cylinder DOHC engine is SMOOTH, and the shaft drive is whisper-quiet. A really nice bike that belonged to my late-brother.

I haven't sold on ebay in years but have had 100's of auctions with 100% feedback. However I've never attempted a sale like this, so bear with me please.

I would help with delivery within 500 miles of central Missouri. After that I need to know what a potential buyer has in mind before the purchase is made. PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS.

Payment via cashier's check, money order, personal check (after clearing bank) or cash upon delivery/receipt..

Filling a void with an RD350LC

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Last winter I managed to fill a void in my life when I stumbled on a very reasonably priced Yamaha RD350LC.  It was a tad scruffy, had the wrong exhausts but most importantly it was blue and white with all numbers matching.  I had the usual euphoria when the deal was done but I underestimated how much pleasure this particular purchase would continue to deliver another eight months down the line. The difference with this old bike is, instead of just taking it for the occasional ride I was talked into doing a full nut and bolt restoration.  Having never taking a bike apart completely before, initially it was quite daunting but I soon found the RD is easy to work on so it turned into a truly satisfying experience.  I’ve had some help from LC enthusiasts with the rebuild, however, the stripping, sourcing and organising was a total labour of love.  And call me sad but it has made me bond with this bike like no other which only adds to the feel good factor.  The bike cost £1800 and I’ve spent around £1000 but I reckon my mint Elsie is now worth a fair bit more.   I fancy rejuvenating a Fizzy  next time but there’s lots of other cheap 70’s and 80’s winter projects  out there so why not have a go yourself?

Wed, 22 Feb 2012

New spy photos have emerged capturing an updated Triumph Street Triple. Spanish publication Motociclismo has published photos of the 2013 Triumph Street Triple. The most noticeable change is a new low-slung exhaust replacing the current model’s dual underseat exhausts.

A short film about Zen

Thu, 28 Apr 2011

This beautifully shot short film alludes to a phrase by Robert M Pirsig, the author of Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance: "If the machine produces tranquility it's right. If it disturbs you it's wrong until either the machine or your mind is changed".  But is any Triumph single ever capable of producing a sensation of tranquility, even when it is 'right'? I suspect not...
