    Rocket 3 Belt Buckles

    Installation Troubles OK, OK, no reason to yell. Not sure I installed mine properly, but here you go... Installation instructions went missing with the tit shots. Wife probably threw them out too. Maybe I need on of those belt thingys Hanso is going to make. Hey Hanso, are you going to...

    I should of been a vet A vet is not something I would want to become no matter how much it paid. You see sick animals, some abused or whose care was not a priority. You can't help all of them.

    Broke down R3T in New Jersey.

    Dan, Glad you're back on the road and welcome to Texas. If you are riding right through the state, you'll be about halfway home by the time you leave it in El Paso. If you are touring a bit, you can head south on 124 in Winnie, turn right on 87 and take the free ferry to Galveston island...

    2012 Rocket Roadster Out

    At British USA in South Houston this morning to pick up some Triumph teardrop mirrors for my Roadster, and they had a new 2012 Roadster on the showroom floor. Salesman was unaware of any changes for 2012. Seemed strange to me that you couldn't find a Matte Black last April in Texas. Makes a...
