  2. THIS MAY HAVE BEEN ALREADY COVERED SOMEWHERE, BUT.....

    There's a convenience store that sells petrol named "VALERO" in my neighborhood. Does anyone know if this is Venezualan as well as Citgo? The name sounds like it could be of South American origin.

  3. New Topic

    While we're on the subject of Triumph quality, or lack of - everyone should stay away from Triumph's bike cover. I think I paid $160 for it and after only 1 1/2 summer seasons here in Penna, it was shot from sun damage. I am sure I will get at least that out of my $35 JC Whitney cover.

  5. Aftermarket Bike Covers???

    After just two sizzling hot Pennsylvania summers(???), my $160 Triumph bike cover is shot, worthless. On top where the sun hits it, it is paper-thin and easily tears. Is anyone using something different, and if so how's it holding up? I would welcome any info (price, vendor, etc.). Thanks.

My fuel tank, radiator & shroud, handle bars, RHS headlamp, mirrors, brake pedal, etc. all need replaced; Other than a sore wrist and a few spots of road rash, I am fine...

  8. Having Trouble w/ Corbin Beetle Bags

    I installed Willie & Max Revolution Series bags on my Rocket. They are not in the same league as Corbin stuff but other than being a tad small (which does provide some clearance at the pipes) they look & work fine. And the price is/was right - $220 delivered. I hope Corbin makes good on your...

  9. Online Shopping versus Local Dealer Purchases

    Dennis Kirk has Metzler 880 XXLs for 208.99 out-the-door ($203.99+$5.00). I'd rather have given my $$$ to the local dealer, but his price wasn't even close ($300 + tax). Any thoughts on shopping online catalogs versus making purchases from the local dealers? I probably would have given the...
