I just flew to and from Kansas on MD80 aircraft. Using my "Butt dyno," I think I could have beat one from zero to 100MPH on my ZX12R. They don't pull that hard up to the point of take off. It would be interesting to have the chance to line up with one on a Busa or similar bike and run them to...
Got up this morning and was feeling pretty good. Thought maybe I'd go for a little ride. Quickly changed my mind :(
We got most of this in the last two days. We had this much last week then it got up in the 50's and all melted. And now this. Oh well, good day to watch the super bowl I...
came in close proximity with a deer late night last weekend.Thinking of installing a night vision camera and display .What do you guys think what kind of night vision camera and kinda focus will work best(wide angle/long range).How would bike headlight/oncoming traffic headlight affect the night...
Guys looking for some thoughts on a price for my Tourer. I am considering selling her in order to purchase some vacation property. Only put 2000 miles on the bike all season this year and as much as we love her, we are thinking a few acres out in the country for retirement is what we would...
Took Hanso up to Bundaberg on Wednesday and dropped into a shop called , "Every Thing But The Bike. Bloody good shop for bike accessories, with anything from your feet to your head, and whatever you can think of in between. Looked after all of us with Cathy & Ann getting new bike jackets, with...
I currently have a 2011 Thunderbird and absolutely love it. But recently my wife has been joining me for rides with a great group of riders that I've met. Some of the rides may be anywhere from 4-6 hours. I'm comfortable on my Tbird for about four hours, but my wife wouldn't even do well in...
This isn't a ad to sell my Rocket (at least not yet). I have a 2006 R3 with the Rotrex Blower. It had pretty much everything you can buy on it. It has 6500 miles and runs absolutely perfect. It has also had the complete Triumph "upgrade" kit installed. The kit that replaced the parts in the...
I have an 2007 Rocket 3 all stock I replaced the plugs about 5000 miles ago it seems like there is a lot of carbon buildup on the plugs. What do you guys think?
Anybody got any idea what I should/could ask? It is an 08' with almost 20k miles. It has new tires front and rear with less than 300 miles on them. An Avon on the front and a Darkside (altimax Hp) on the back.
It is set up for solo riding now but I have the original seat, sissy bar, and...
My boss has been talking about a new bike for a while now, and is considering a Rocket. His last bike was a Duke 900, so this will be a big step for him.
Yesterday I rode my bike in so he could have a look and a ride if he wanted.... Well he came out, stared, stared some more, said it was a...
Trying to make an informed decision on a tuneecu map and specifically one I am thinking of modding slightly. Power Tripp put up a map awhile back here http://www.tomhamburg.net/Tunes_in_Hex_and_dat/All_Tunes_sorted_by_model/all_Rocket/Rocket_Roadster/PowerTrippR3RJardine3K&N.zip
And what i am...
I took it (rode it) to another shop today in Winchester that works on Triumphs, used to have a Triumph franchise. First guess was maybe something wrong with the final drive, put it up on the rack and drained it, that looked normal. Finally started it, put it in gear (with the rear wheel up...
I usually ride to work with earplugs in (about 30 miles each way). This morning I rode to work without earplugs and for the first time I have heard a sound that I haven't heard before. Not sure how to describe it other than definitely metallic. I have had a hard time trying to identify exactly...
I'm trying to find the Roadster wiring diagram to ensure the information I supplied Jim Davis at Eastern Beaver is accurate for the Roadster (all other models it's good). While I'm fairly confident the info is solid I'd like to confirm my assumptions on that model (i.e. trust but verify). Anyone...
