Recall: 2010 Triumph Thunderbird

By 1 Comment

Triumph is recalling almost two thousand (1,955 in total) 2010 Triumph Thunderbird motorcycles for a thread improper locker and screw on the front fender. Because of the incompatible pieces, the screws might become loose, and work their way out of the threads. Extending out and into the tire, the screws could potentially wear out or puncture the tire causing it to deflate and create an unsafe situation.

Triumph dealers will replace the screws free of charge, though Triumph has not yet released an owner notification schedule on the recall. Concerned owners may contact Triumph Customer Service at 1-678-539-8782, and as always the NHTSA is available at 1-888-327-4236 and safecrar.gov.

Up-Close with the Mission R at Infineon Raceway

By 11 Comments

It’s a good thing for Mission Motors that the Mission R looks fast standing still, as the electric superbike was unable to race in this weekend’s TTXGP series opener at Infineon Raceway. The Mission crew did bring the bike out for fans to see though, which gave us a chance to get up-close and personal with the machine with a camera in-hand. Electricity aside, the Mission R is one of the most attractive motorcycles we’ve seen in a while (even without its clothes on), and the fit & finish on the bike is superb…now if only it actually ran. We can’t wait to see how the Mission R fares on the track, especially with Steve Rapp on-board.
