I went to Motorcycles of Dulles (MOD) today to test ride the two brands of bobbers they have in stock. Both bikes are the 2023 models.
Let's start with the prices. The Indian is just over $15K and the Triumph is between $13K and 14K depending on your desires.
I do like both sets of grips on...
This is a review of the Burn Jacket Pro.
I recently bought this product of Amazon to help protect my right calf from the heat coming off the headers. We all know how hot the stock system gets, but when we swap that for performance headers, the heat seems to be worse. To recap what I did prior...
New to R3's, I have never run Avon tyres before.
Having had Sports bikes, I have been a fan of Michelin and Pirelli.
I am finding the Avon Cobra Chrome, as fitted oem, to be an excellent performer.
I was intrigued as to what the Snakeskin pattern was all about.
Trying to find out, online, I...
Today is my one year anniversary with my new Rocket 3GT. Not much to say about it. I haven't even seen it since mid October when I put it in for repairs. Seems they have admitted it was assembled incorrectly from the factory. So after taking it apart several times and replacing thousands of...
I'm an older guy located in the southwest of the US where you can ride 12 month of the year - been on a motorcycle of one make or another for nearly 60 years - and currently the proud owner/rider of a 2021 R3GT among a couple others. Even though the GT comes with a windscreen of sorts, it really...
Ordered the Custom Silencers and crossover pipe. Dave was super-engaged via email in answering all my questions. Got the pipes just under 2 weeks from when I ordered them. Wow. Freaking beautiful. Polished perfectly, beautiful welds and everything needed for install included. Put everything...
If you’re interested, I’ve put up a review of the Triumph instruments, including the Bluetooth controls with Nav use and GoPro control.

So the day after riding my new Rocket 3 R the 30km home from the dealer, I strapped on the GoPro and collected my thoughts. And made a video if you’re interested… 😏-> First Ride
Hey Everyone,
I got around to installing the California Scientific clear windshield last weekend on my GT. The install was extremely easy and took maybe 5 minutes. I DID use some blue locktite as some extra security since you are only supposed to hand tighten the screws. I did about 100 miles or...

I test rode the 2021 BMW R18 today. The base price start in the high $17K range and goes up over $20K plus. I rode the “First Edition” model that starts at $19K.
BMW has two primary R18 bikes, the more basic model and the bagger. From what the salesman tells me, the Bagger has a wind...

I test rode the 2021 Indian Springfield Dark Horse today. This one has the 116 ci. If you want the regular Springfield, you get brighter colors and it cost $500 less.
The dealership was having a demo of it and the BMW R19. In reality though, these two bikes are not easily comparable...
Here's a pretty funny and accurate review of our bike from the boys at Top Gear.

Bet bit:
What’s it like to ride?
Intimidating at first, mainly because there’s so much of it. The fuel tank is the size of a Barbadian twerking champion...

Bought a Schuberth C3 Pro yesterday. Local dealer had them on sale. Now i have always thought "Schuberth, yeah they're only for police and old geezers on BMW's eating hot dogs at bike rallies with helmet still on"
Wrong.. It's a very nice helmet! It fits extremely well, it's as quiet as my...
