    Barber Motorsports Museum ride: Birmingham, AL

    I did see that! We only had the week to see the museum and ride 1200 miles, so that ride wasn’t possible. On Thursday, the weather was beautiful so we took a detour on our way south to Tallahassee: We rode down the Talladega Scenic Byway—described as Alabama’s most scenic drive. That...

    Barber Motorsports Museum ride: Birmingham, AL

    Just returned from a week-long ride to the Barber. Holy cow! Motorcycle overload! Saw almost 1000 bikes, but a few really stuck with me. If you haven’t visited this place, I highly recommend it.

    Why are people selling their Rockets?

    I can only speak for myself but I had 60,000+ miles on my R3T. I loved it for a dozen years but I wanted something with fewer miles on it. I may in the future get another Rocket —I may opt for the Classic this tome—but for now I thought it was a good move, for me, to just get something with...

    Touring on a R3!

    How cool is this?! From a friend in San Diego who hosts traveling motorcyclists: This cool guy contacted me on Sunday from the Bunk a Biker group, he was coming to San Diego from AZ on Sunday. Asked if he could set up and stay at my house, I said of course. He's retired and currently a...

    I sold the R3T today 😢

    I want something with fewer miles. My local friend PreStaged has an R3T with 60k plus miles on it and he says he expects to get 100k or more. I’m not that adventurous!

    I sold the R3T today 😢

    OK, you hit the nail in the head! I have a love/hate relationship with CL. I want to buy and sell stuff locally, but I don’t want to deal with the knuckleheads and scammers. The good news is, CL started charging a $5 per vehicle listing fee so at least you’re dealing with sellers who have...

    I sold the R3T today 😢

    So the wife asked what I’d be buying to replace it. I told her I just didn’t know...so many choices. She then said, I’ll bet the new Rockets are nice! Doh!

    I sold the R3T today 😢

    Well, it’s gone. It’s bittersweet, really. I needed to thin out the herd of bikes (down to 4 from a recent 8) and I just listed them all on Craigslist and the R3T was the first to go. Ah, but the memories... I bought it new from Rocket Motorcycles in San Diego in 2009. The crate showed up...

    Parasitic Drain, 2014 Rocket III Touring - Mystery: Multimeter shows zero draw with the key out

    Unsure if this has been mentioned or checked, but an alarm—Triumph or aftermarket—will cause a parasitic power drain. A trickle charger will help balance that out.
