Hahaha - I bought a Carpenter bike

[cusso ken]

Recently picked up a 2012 with a 265hp Carpenter kit. What a blast! I'm also the service manager at a Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda, KTM, Polaris, and Sea-Doo dealership. Ill try not to ask to many questions but this is my first triumph so I'm learning. It's an absolute animal. I've had it a few weeks and have already embarrassed a Hayabusa and a zx-14. What's left in life?

My riding buddy with the Turbo Busa always asked the same question, is here anyone out there to race ,until he went to a track day and got his clock cleaned by a modified Kawasaki H2R ,he is still having therepy

Welcome to both the R3 family and Thor chosen few, the Carpenter kitted bike owners, and amongst them, the truly nutty ones who went with the 265kit

Bob said he's going to tear my Rocket down in the next week or so, hopefully in about a month I'll have 265 kit R3 back from NJ

Another welcome from Canada. Our roads wouldnt let you use that much power. Almost got thrown into the ditch by unleashing the beast and hitting a hump in the road at the same time. Front end came up and. well things got interesting. FUN ny.

Nothing worse than having your front tire go up in the air.

Sometimes watching people do dumb things you wonder what were they thinking. Buuuut by the grace of God, that couldve been me. I do know that when things start going south all you can do is HANG ON.
