yes and i like his style. I was once ripped off by a bathroom guy, his workmanship was shoddy, so shoddy i could have done better myself, i gave him plenty of opportunitys to right the wrong but instead he got nasty, so i did much the same thing. The voice of the people.people.

i would say if you bothered to buy a bike like this, chances are you know how to change gears.

Actually this is the first time I've heard a bad word about the Rockets.as for the loss of traction in the rear that could be due to the oil leak that appears over the rear wheel as mentioned.all the other faults leads me to think he purchased a dud.

I rode one at a Triumph dealer day, thought I would hate it but absolutely loved it, came back grinning like an idiot.
wonder what the issues are exactly, seems unusual from what I have heard about them. But nice, honest auction anyway, good on him.

first time for me too, I had done a quick google search and didnt see anything that made it look like a common problem, but yeah for 2 bikes to go wrong on him makes me think he is the only common element to his problems other than 2 bikes failing for the same reason

So what would you think it is he could possibly be doing to 'cause' the gearbox to fail so quickly!

The bike has got other problems as well; 1/ being able to see past the bedroll on the bars & 2/ the personalised plate!
