  1. Why I bought a Rocket III

    Been a long time owner of Triumph's. Started buying them in the early 70's. Bought my first Hinkley in 96, an Adventurer. Loved the bike, after around 20k miles the timing gear went and it blew up. Triumph backed up thier bike, even though it was out of warranty they gave me the full value...

  2. Tunes on your Rocket

  4. Exhaust Flames ...???

    I did the same thing on my 60 merc. Lots of fun, finally found out what law I was breaking....ATF, it is considered a firearm. Lost my license for 6 months. Wouldn't do it to a Rocket. It will trash the engine/pistons. Excessive fuel in the oil causes an internal uncontrolled explosion and will...

    Rivco horn It appears as though I have a California Edition with the extra canister under the left side cover. Anyone have a suggestion where else I can mount the horn? I already have a Wolo horn.

  8. First HD ride experience

    Hi all, I didn't mean to hit anyones nerve points with my story. Just a fun story. Most of my riding group ride HD. Back in the days when Sportsters were chasing Bonnievilles around dirt tracks... or vise versa. They were always exchanging first place. In my town this rivalry has always...

  9. First HD ride experience

    I'm a back yard mechanic and probably could've fixed it on the road myself. Just did't get on that piece of ****e again.

  10. First HD ride experience

    A friend stopped by today to look at the Rocket. He wanted to ride it in the worst way. He's a very experienced rider and an old friend, so I said OK. We decided to switch bikes. I'd ride his Dynaglide and he'd ride the Rocket to a friends house....30 miles away. I realized I had the short...

  11. Glad to be on board

    Hi all, I've been reviewing this site for quite a while. Wishing and wanting one of these super bikes. Well with wifie's full approval I just purcased my dreas 06 Classic Tourer. I wasn't sure which color was fastest so I went with the Black and Red (best of both worlds). Look forward to...
