  1. West Dennis Beach Bike Blessing

    Are there any Rocket Pilots near Cape Cod, MA that are going to the Bike Blessing tomorrow at West Dennis beach? Gates open around 9:30 and the blessing will probably be around 11:00. I will be attending and thought I would reach out and maybe meet before and ride down together. I am in Sandwich...
  2. My new bike

    I found a good deal on a 2012 Thunderbird Storm and was able to pick it up this week. Had a 2005 rocket 3 before and really liked it but a deer ruined that for me. My wife gave me a pass to just go pick up a new rocket but I did not feel it would be the best financial decision. Here is my new...
  3. Thunder bike bars or Rivco risers??

    I'm having a few problems with aching wrists on longish rides. I have the R3R and was wondering whether this is to do with the angle of the stock bars or just not enough pull back to sit in a more natural position. I've seen a lot have gone for the rivcos to sort similar problems and some the...

  5. bike dolly

    I do not knnow about most of you but backinng out of my garage is nearly inpossible due to slope so I looked a all possibilities in the end a bike dolly made the most sense buying one is also near impossible with a rear tire of 240 dimension and some are rather flimsy looking so I made...
  6. Hello from New Zealand - 2004 Rocket III - Project Bike

    Hi all, I am new to the forum and looking for some guidance (via searching forums first of course) on doing a full custom of my 2004 Rocket III I bought from my father in law. It only has 7,000 kilometers on it so pretty fresh engine but the body and paint is a bit tatty after being left...
  7. Roadster didn't start & check engine light

    Not sure if anyone has heard of this problem based on these "hints" (I'm not mechanically inclined): 2012 Rocket Roaster with Carpenter Brute exhaust, Power Commander, air box delete, triple K&N filters, 37,000km I put in about 600km since I got her this winter. Has been running like a charm...

  9. They are nice bikes just a bit small.

    They hired a new guy at work. Mr Harley Davidson himself. He has all the tattoos neat looking sunglasses and of course the Harley Davidson t-shirt. He even had genuine Harley Davidson boots on. Of course the supervisor who we get along with real well hooked him up with me to show him around and...
  10. Project Bomberbike

    I wonder how the final drive will hold up....:cautious:
  11. Blown away by a sportbike in the twisties...

    So, I know this is a cruiser, but it's also much, much more, so I guess my expectations are very high for its handling. Well today, while on my usual ride through the canyons, a sportbike appeared in my rear view mirror, seemingly out of nowhere. So, I signaled for him to go by me, but then...

    Love the trading wheels, I wonder how far they will take it and what safety feature they will dream up Meet Motobot: Yamaha's Motocycle-Riding Robot
  13. Surprised a sport bike rider

    So I've owned my '05 now for one year, I have enjoyed the power on the back roads alone although I have never really toyed with any other riders until yesterday. I was riding to work minding my own business cruising at about 80 mph when I see a sport bike coming up behind me in my mirror. He...
  14. Colonial Beach Bike Fest 2015

    Alibi up front: I am not comparing any of these machines to the Rocket! I went to the Colonial Beach Bike Festival on Saturday Oct 10 and test rode six Harleys. Why? Because variety is the spice of life and I knew Brahma would not get jealous if I rode a few other bikes. First ride is the Soft...
  15. Stripped the Bike

    Now that I have my 2011 roadster it was finally time to strip my old faithfull bike before I sell it, I took everything off except the handlebar risers and the triple K&Ns to much trouble better just leaving them. Time to part with a bunch of stuff a wee list more might follow Maddog exhaust...

  17. Jump started bike; have no headlights

    Had to jumpstart the bike ... wouldn't quite turn over. It's a 2014 with only 3k miles so I was surprised by that, but still. Hook up my charger/jumper for a few, start it up and off I go. Sun goes down and I notice ... I have no headlights. Running lights, signals, etc are ok. Hi/low beam...
  18. How tough is the driveline on these bikes?

    Considering the Rocket gets a lot of mods, like the Carpenter stage 1 and 2 kits, blowers, etc., how does the driveline hold up on this bike? Coming from an M109R, which had a weak driveline, the question popped into my head. There were guys that actually snapped the drive shaft on 109s from...
