2007 TRIUMPH ROCKET III, WITH 18000 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION JUMPS OUT OF GEAR INTO NEUTRAL; FIRST GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP; DIFFICULT TO DOWN SHIFT TO FIRST AND SECOND WHILE RIDING; THIS PRESENT A HAZARD I HAD A NEAR MISS WHEN MOVING FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT. TRIUMPH HAS A UPGRADE KIT DESIGN TO ADDRESS AND REMEDY THESE PROBLEMS BUT ARE REFUSING TO COVERAGE THE LABOR CHARGES. INSTEAD THE ARE PLAYING A WAITING GAME AND GAMBLING WITH MY LIFE AND HEALTH - THIS PROBLEM IS PREVALENT AND SERIOUS, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE THEY -TRIUMPH - IS AWARE, BUT CHEAP AND APATHETIC TO US OWNER'S WELFARE. I THINK THEY ARE IN VIOLATION OF THE TREAD ACT AND OTHER DUTIES TO THE NHTSA BY NOT REPORTING THESE PROBLEMS AND ISSUING A VOLUNTARY RECALL. I MUST ASK WHAT VALUE DOES TRIUMPH PLACE ON A LIFE. *TR
