    Harley power

    So you're saying they make for good range targets? I hate buying new Hondas every time I go to the range. Once you shoot holes in them, they're useless. Woohoo triple posts!! Someone yell at me, please.

    Harley power

    I rode to work today. And yesterday, and the day before, I rode to Tucson to pick something up because I didn't want to wait three days for it to be shipped.

    Harley power

    I think HD is starting to figure it out. They have the V-Rod, and now they have the Street with their Revolution-X motor. It's only a 750cc motor, but it's liquid cooled. They may be trying out getting the mellenials hooked on HD with a bike that makes more sense for them. This way they can...

    Hi from Florida

    Nice bike. Looks like you took care of it. I had looked at the venture. It was too "old man" for me at the time. But I've grown up a lot since I've owned the rocket and I can really appreciate that bike for what it is now. I think triumph should do what Yamaha did there. Instead of making the...

    Iron Maiden...

    Oh, and there is still too much chrome on the bike. Can you fix that?

    Iron Maiden...

    Make sure to take that passenger seat off as soon as you can. the rubber bumpers it rests on shine the flat paint after a while. While you can always buff out the paint on a gloss paint, you're screwed when you flat paint is made shiny in areas. I would also suggest a tank pad for where your...

    50 States ranking for motorcycle ownership

    I ride every day. Even the 120F days. Sure I collapse and pass out when I get home, but those are some of my best afternoon naps. I only drive a cage if I need to move something that doesn't fit in the bags or I'm driving my shuttle bus that I own just for moving a lot of people around during...

    End of Touring

    3 litre, 3 cylinders, 3 headlights, 3 wheels, 3 passenger, 3 pipes, 3 gas tanks, 3 gears! I'll take 3!

    50 States ranking for motorcycle ownership

    I wish there was a quick connect side car that I could mount to the Rocket. Always wanted to have one, but doesn't make sense all the time.

    50 States ranking for motorcycle ownership

    I would like to see the same report but with an average number of days the owners rode their bike in a year. I can't imagine having more than an accumulative couple months per year in New Hampshire that are condusive to riding. Even though here in AZ, a lot of people don't like to ride in the...

    Exhausted from my exhaust search

    No harm. It just struck me as odd and my fingers decided to let you know how they felt. No post police, but there are a lot of us that get bored and read all the new posts. I usually do it on the toilet or at work. You know, when I have the most free time.

    Also in Arizona

    I'm in AZ as well. The Rocket is a good choice as long as you reference this site for any modifications you make. The exhaust can get REALLY hot in our summers unless you put a rich tune in it. I burned a couple holes in a couple different pairs of jeans before I figured out a good tune that...

    TYRES

    That's about what I paid for my Max as well. I have a funny story about that tire. this is not informative, so skip on ahead if you don't care to read my story. I ordered the Excedra Max through my dealer which was already less than the posted price on Amazon. Then I used my military discount...

    Exhausted from my exhaust search

    :thumbsdown: Now look what you made me do there... I actually used an emoticon for the first time on this site. A manufacturer has a lot to deal with to get a new product on the road. Too many regulations and factors to list. That said, they need to make a lot of compromises. One compromise is...

    The Outlaw's Storm

    Windex damages the paint. It cleans any protectant off the paint and will allow it to oxidize quicker. I only use windex as a first step (to remove any wax) before buffing out old paint with rubbing (cutting) compound. It's cheaper than a wax stripper. I wax windows on cars to make them more...

    Blacked out front of Roadster

    With the amount of dirt on mine most of the time, it would look flat anyways. Shiny is for people in cold climates that need something to do in the winter.

    The Outlaw's Storm

    I use Pro Honda Spray Cleaner which used to go by the name Honda Clean. It's pretty cheap and works really well on the flat black roadster. I keep a small can in the saddlebags in case I happen accross an HD bar and everyone wants to look at the cool triumph. The cleaner makes the paint look...

    Heated Grips or Heated Gloves?

    Haha! You guys need heated things... It's going to be 85F here today. And before you say something about my hot summers, I've never had my hands go numb from the heat. And the only time I shiver uncontrolably is when I have heat stroke. I'd rather drink water and sweat than spend all my money on...

    R3 Roadster Accessory Sites

    Most of what I've purchased are universal or custom modifications. Of course exhaust and tuners are model specific. Don't be afraid of a dremel or soldering iron and you will have all the accessories you desire. Flip's site is not always the most up to date or available. Spend a week or so...
