I have been out of a bike for eight weeks now, I need a lifter rod for my clutch and it is on order. I just can't believe it could take sooooooooo long to get a part. I called Peter at Triumph today, had to leave a message and asked him to call me back, well he did and I had no cell service...

I have an 06 Classic that I purchased pre-owned a couple of months ago, and it has run perfectly since. Yesterday morning I took a 2-hour ride...no problems at all. Went out this morning to go for another ride, and as I was backing the bike out of the garage, I noticed that I lost all power when...
I'M KEEPING THE R3T:D. Now that that is out of the way, I am debating on getting either a used KLR650, or a DR650. I am looking for anyone out there that has/had one and can give me some info. I know that they are both great bikes, but I am having a hard time choosing.
Ok, who's going to O.C. for bike week besides me? Last year I only saw ONE R3 and that guy said the only reason he picked it out of his "collection" to ride was that it was in front. :eek:
I'll be traveling with a couple HD friends (I know, embarassing :rolleyes:), but good guys despite their...
Yeah, you probably think I'm crazy for buying such a big bike, but - you're right!! I am crazy! crazy about my 2008 Rocket Classic. Already made a couple of changes - new Corbin Seat (how does any OEM get away with such horrible seats?), exhausts (made before I bought the bike and will...

The first 1000 miles of riding the Street Triple was a real bonding experience between myself and the bike. Feeling the engine develop from a tightly-wound, tense machine into something more fluid and smooth gave me a real sense of...

I had a 5x8 Trailer and I had to drive my Rocket on a angle because of my trunk, so I found a guy to extentend the front and bow nosed it.
Now I have lots of room for my bike stand and now I could drive it straight up:)
I'm just shy of 2 inches from 10 feet and he only charged me $350.00 :)
Now...
Got a small video camera and been experimenting with shooting and editing video from the bike.... Currently using a Flip Mino with a handle bar mount shooting through the windshield and Imovie on the Mac for editing looking for a better mount to get the camera from behind the windscreen..
Let...
It was time to change the back tire so I got a little creative. I didn't have to buy anything new and it's very stable. The wife got home from work and looked at the ladder and said "is that how they do it at the bike shop". I get no respect!

When I bought my GPz550 for £300 in January, I triumphantly claimed I’d proved you could get a decent bike for next to nothing. I now admit I’ve proved only that you can get a bike for next to nothing....
