    My 5,000 km road trip report

    Just completed a 10 day road trip from Winnipeg to Kelowna and back in Canada, just under 5,000 km. Used Triumph saddle bags only, one bag for riding gear and essentials, the other for clothing and toiletries. Unzipping the liners and using as removable compression bags is the most convenient...

    Come ride with us maps of the Pacific Northwest (detailed road maps attached)

    So back in 2010 while riding through Bickelton Wa, I stopped in a small mom and pop store and discovered a free map that showed hundreds of motorcycle friendly routes to travel. Not just a highway map, but a map that gave details, gas stops, number of turns on the road and literally hundreds of...

    Meet "Tank", a 2007 Road Glide with Hannigan sidecar

    I found this sidecar rig through a buddy who knew I was looking for one. He had test rode the bike and decided it was too hard for him to ride. (He hasn't done a pushup in a few decades). Which is partly why Pretty Pillion wanted to name it "Tank". That and it takes up a lot of parking space...

    Going to the Sun Road

    Planning my next vacation for me myself and I this summer. Want to get away on my own and enjoy 2 weeks riding. I live in Calgary so Montana is a place I think I want to discover. Anyone done this ride ? Tips? Advice ?

    Cleaning road tar off exhaust - 2020 Rocket 3 GT

    Hi all. I have some nasty tar deposits on my exhaust that will not just wash off. I have some Valet Pro Citrus Tar & Glue Remover which I have used successfully on my cars. It said it is good for painted and hard surfaces, but is clearly a fairly aggressive product as it dissolves road tar...

    Back on the Road (again)

    I have for years been taking scenic trips to pick up motorcycles because I'm pretty much a moto lunatic. Tomorrow I'm headed to Florida to acquire this: The last time I went over a thousand miles it was to pick up a 98 Honda Valkyrie. I hate it when the seller agrees to my offer and then I'm...

    Michelin Road Five

    Well I think I’m a bit disappointed in the Road five mounted backwards on the front of my Roadster. I don’t recall the mileage when i put in on but it’s not over 6k I’m sure. It’s the unevenness of the wear that is the issue. The center has tons of tread on it like it’s close to new but the...

    Meet REX my new 2022 FLHR Road King

    For the past few weeks, I have been looking for my next bike, #32. Triumph has stopped making the big touring cruiser I have now and appears they will not make another. The current R3s are fun as hell for sure, but they do not meet my needs. The big four from Japan have also ended their run of...

    From mothballs to road worthy

    Hello, I have an 05' R3 that has been sitting. Its finally time to bring it back to life. I have the Rims going to a shop to get the tires changes. I'm changing all the fluids. I've emptied the gas tank, cleaned it and filled if with fresh gas. Anyone got any tips or things I should check before...

    Road Noise

    hi All, new here and to the new Rocket GT, had it a couple of weeks. I have noticed a lot of road noise and although the bike is only 7000 miles old (second hand purchase) i was worried it was a wheel bearing or even drive shaft issue. However i have now noticed that when i ride over new tarmac...

    Unknowns When Riding a Known Road

    Alibi up front: I do realize I am preaching to the choir on this article, just relaying a thought... I ride the same 17 miles to and from work primarily on the Express Lanes of a super slab, I-95. I chew gum when I ride and when wearing an open face helmet, I know what part of the road to shut...

    Rocket Owners on the Road

    Last week I rode 1700 miles between Kalispell and Northern California. Didn’t see any rockets but lots of folks wanted to see mine. This week crossing the country in a cage. Stopped for fuel in Gillette WY. There I saw a well-used Rocket 3. Wasn’t hard to pick out the owner in the cafe. Met...

    First road test on the Chariot with new leading link forks fitted!

    Did 85 miles with my son Peter on Saturday on a nice windy route from Glasgow, Scotland to Callander and back. New forks are a great success. Before it felt like a workout. Definitely need a roll bar. Big thumbs up to (Paul) Lumley Engineering.
