Triumph Rocket III description

I Am offering for sale my 2005 Triumph Rocket 3 with hand built sidecar. I am the original owner of this bike. I built this as a dedicated sidecar unit to be used as you see it displayed in the pictures. Every accessory is a one of a kind hand built item that I personally hand built. The sidecar is somewhat patterned after a 34 Ford street rod. It is entirely constructed with aluminum. It is complete with windows that roll up and down and a functional sunroof. I am often asked if it gets hot in the sidecar. The answer is no for 2 reasons. Aluminum dissipates heat must faster than other metals also the entire unit is insulated with expanded foam insulation making it somewhat like a ice chest. It does have a stereo system complete with a DVD player. Currently the DVD player is not working correctly and will need replaced. The sidecar holds a 6 gallon fuel cell for extended range for the bike. The sidecar suspension has a electric leveling system that can be adjusted on the fly. It is also equipped with a hydraulic brake on the sidecar wheel. There is a spacious locking trunk area behind the passenger.

 As for the bike itself let me start off by saying it has all of the Triumph warranty updates from The factory. it is complete with a Mayer Day Long seat that is very comfortable. All aluminum hand formed fairing. Aluminum milled floor boards. Hand Built custom stainless steel exhaust system. The front suspension is a hand built leading link fork. The bike is equipped with a electronic cruise control. Complete custom paint as well. it has a hitch and is fully wired for a trailer

 The bike was built and designed to be used. I have personally ridden all of the 84k miles on the odometer.  Because it was designed and used for that purpose there are a few spots on the chrome forks that are not perfect. The sidecar fender has a noticeable scrape on it that if the unit sells I will repaint before delivery. The clear coat on the rear wheel has peeled as well. As a side note for an additional price of $3000 I have a custom all aluminum pop up camper made by Quicksilver that can be purchased outside of the auction should you choose to do so.. I have ridden and toured extensively with this bike and have complete confidence in it

Please do not ask my reserve price Though I will entertain cash offers. Thank you and feel free to ask questions.

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?
