    Failure during manufacturing...

    So this has been a many months long issue with my 2025 Rocket GT. With only 854 miles I started seeing very small drops of oil under the bike after longer rides. As time has gone by, the oils spots got larger and larger. Got under the bike and found a drop falling off the catalytic converter...

    2025 Storm GT...leak by/near starter

    So I had the first service done by Triumph as I also had the Bluetooth system installed. So seemed like good way to kick off the mechanical care of the bike. Get home and I started noticing oil spots behind the engine on the left side, dripping off of the exhaust. Put the bike up on the stand...

    How to add mid pegs with front peg controls without buying midpeg mounts

    I have put about a thousand miles in the last week through the mountains. The main foot pegs touched but these, never saw the tarmac. It corners like it's on rails. I dont understand people who say this bike can't turn.

    Miles per gallon at 80mph (129kph)

    This screen is not part of daily activity... its just a status page. While I agree with you... its actually not bad.

    Miles per gallon at 80mph (129kph)

    It's not an average... its UK gas milage vs US milage. 56 mpg is what I was getting.

    Miles per gallon at 80mph (129kph)

    So I just got my service done at my dealer. I have to ride 2 and a half hours from my home and it's all highway. Mix is up and down hill with a majority flat with miles long rolling hills. Everyone often asks what's the miles per gallon I can expect. Will here you go. This was a very...

    Thoughts on this new way of adding storage?

    I just did a post about the same bag and love it.

    Alpinestars Boots a no go

    I switched my bike to GP shift and my Alpinestars SMX boots work perfect.

    Alternate to saddle bags with better storage capacity and no fixed mount hardware

    I looked at that and liked it but bigger than what I needed. This one you posted is great for week plus rides. You happy with it.

    Unknown part found under the seat

    It goes in front of the flip down access panel under the seat. I was looking at mine today when mocking up some luggage straps and it made me think of this post. And no, I didn't take a picture. Sorry.

    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...

    Rocket owners average age!

    60... hard to believe seeing that number.

    Alternate to saddle bags with better storage capacity and no fixed mount hardware

    The bag comes with multiple mounting points to attach to the bike. What I have done is simplified it to make it a quick release. I made the strap you can see at the back of the bike going through the sissy bar back rest. In the front of the bag, ai have made two attachment points that...

    Alternate to saddle bags with better storage capacity and no fixed mount hardware

    So I have been debating for the last six months whether or not to get the saddle bags from my 2025 GT. The problem with the Triumph gearr is limited storage and cost just which doesn't add up as a good option. So in the end, I finally ended up going with a unique rear seat saddle bag. There...
