We were in Bryson City N.C. and Josey was going to put gas in his bike.
He couldnt find the gas tank Key.
He thought he left it back at the motel....
Now I thought that was funny enough..........but.............
I asked him "dont you use the same key to take your seat off...
since riding a rocket 3 when they first came out, i've been wanting to buy one. i finally found one about 180 miles away, my 08 classic. i got it from a 69 year old guy who was afraid of it and sold it to me so he could get a goldwing. 3,000 miles and in absolute showroom condition. it romps...
I'm pretty clear on what a "Touiring" Rocket II is. Ditto for a "Tourer".
But can anybody point me to a concise comparison/contrast among the "Standard" versus a "Roadster" versus a "Classic" models?
Thanks,

I just bought this bike last week with 12,500 miles from the original owner. I noticed yesterday while riding on the freeway a very noticeable whining sound and vibration from the engine/tranny area. Mostly between the 50 to 60 mph range. Any thoughts of what this is?
I'm meeting a guy this week end to check out his 2007 Classic Tourer for sale. If all's well, I just might bring it home. The pics I've seen look good. It has low miles, and Beetle Bags instead of the soft ones. Engine is silver instead of black - does that mean anything? Most all the ones I...
The Kawasaki W800 impressed during its first ride, but how does it compare against its two closest rivals, the Triumph Bonneville and Moto Guzzi V7 Classic? Read this week's MCN for the full test. brightcove.createExperiences();

Gentlemen,
The guy who I bought my 2008 standard R3 from added footboards and the cruiser seat. With those 2 add-ons, my understanding is that the only difference between my standard bike and a classic is the pull back bars.
I'm 5'11" and about 170 lbs. I've only ridden the bike once due...
Hi
When I switch on my bike ignition the start up routine is ok all the warning lights etc are lit but the headlights are not on and the engine will not turn over. I have stripped the electrical part of the switch barrel and it appears that the plastic contact holder has cracked and broken This...
Hi!
I've been drooling over them for almost a year. Finally closed on a 2007 Classic last week. So far, it's actually exceeding expectations, and I've been dreaming about them for a while!
I can't believe the power, yet how well it handles. I attached a pic of her........you can see why I...
Finally got my sticky hands on my Triked Rocket 3. Attached some Pics for you to see. Done professionally by a Company in South Wales. Let me have your thoughts.
More Pics to follow

That all folks..................for now that is :)
And I'm having a blast on it, but something was missing. So today I put a down payment on a '10 Thunderbird 1700. It's the ultra fast Phantom Red Haze. I'm having TORS put on it along with a bunch of other bling (CRAP, the chrome pulley is $449!)
What a nice way to start a stable of bikes...
Triumph have some nice shiny chrome wheels as an option for the T'bird.
Does anyone know if someone makes an aftermarket set for the RIII or a company that would strip and chrome a standard set of RIII wheels?
I've had one quote from a guy in the UK who can get them from a US company but...
anyone recognize the year of this bike? my brother claims he saw it parked outside of his workplace. but i'm a little suspicious because i don't see a sticker or plate anywhere! a hexagonal oil tank? no tail pipe? really?
Also planning making this one too.. :) Harvest Classic European and Vintage Motorcycle Rally in Luckenbach, Texas to Support Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation This one is in Luckenbach. I plan on riding up Saturday morning and spending the day.. The Rocket has pulled a trophy...
I saw a Rocket III classic at Academy in League city off I-45 today. I swung by to buy some ammo after church in the pouring rain (sounds like a country song, lol). I have been back in town for 3 days and since its raining I was heading to the range. I was looking forward to a Hill Country ride...

Didn't ever think I would like the Classic seat on my bike, but I actually think it looks pretty good.. and it's really comfortable to boot! Just picked up the matching back rest pad today.. :)
