Everyone knows you can only use the wrenches on the front brake rotor bolts of a 2007 Triumph Rocket III. What an embarrassment.

I forgot about the part where you take your little bike to the hardware store and it melts the top end on the way back and you have to push it home. And also the part about how cylinders for it are unobtanium.

1985 Yamaha Riva 125 XC125N if you have any leads on top end parts. Yes, I already saw the $425 new old stock one on eBay. No the later model cylinders will not work.

I did a winter project with a friend, rebuilding an original Trident rolling basket. He had always wanted one. I have never hated any motorcycle as much as that one. We finish it, the snow melts, it runs great, sounds awesome, rides like shit, he loved it anyway. It lasted a full 11 days before it sheared a wristpin and launched a piston through the head.

Im sure that's just mechanical but it reads as something more painful and possibly deadly
