  1. Are They fkn kidding ?

    Suzuki has left the 109r untouched other then paint since its release. This has been virtually the case with all of their bikes since the mid 2000s. They had a lot of opportunities to up the ante with the 109 but they chose to do nothing. The same can be said about the r3 but the latest...

  2. Are They fkn kidding ?

    The first bike I ever owned was a 2007 M109R in blue with the white stripe. I had rode ****** rockets prior, so the looks attracted me. The second bike I owned was the 2011 Rocket 3 roadster. I know a little bit about the two bikes, so here is my honest breakdown: M109R: The Good Sleek...

  3. Intelligent Headlight Technology

    A good friend of mine bought a BMW with those headlights. He also bought a very expensive warranty on the vehicle at the time of purchase. Well he hit a pot hole, rim/tire toast, obviously the warranty didn't cover that. However after that got fixed he noticed his headlight on the pass side...

  4. Talked to Carpenter Racing

    Back pressure on a 4 stroke engine is a myth. However scavenging effects are not a myth. If you size the exhaust pipe right the exhaust pulse from one cylinder will travel through the header pipe and collector, and once it passes through the collector it will pull exhaust gas from the other...

  5. It turns a head & it's not even there

    More then likely not. Boss hoss's are basically moving engine stands. They can't make use of the power they produce. I have seen the 400hp small block V8s and they can't get off the line fast (smoke the rear tire) and they continue to smoke the tire until 70 to 100 mph. They weigh so much up...

  6. For Sale Still up for grabs... rolling chassis

    I would be interested in the complete engine to make a coffee table out of it, but I really shouldnt spend the money :(....

  7. Harley power

    The usual suspects at my work that own harleys asked me if my bike cost 25K because thats what they thought they cost. Just tonight a guy said that "The triumph touring version of the bike I have is not a direct competitor to the new indian because the triumph costs like 36K, way above the...

  8. Harley power

    (If peer pressure is a persons major motivation and they are willing to settle for a mediocre motorcycle with lackluster performance just because it's what all their buddies ride, then HD is the way to go.) The 3 things the competition to harley can't compete with/beat are the looks, the sound...

  9. Harley power

    I live in milwaukee (home of HD) and I have seen it all. This is my opinion: Its a simple issue why harley engines don't make power, they don't have the RPM capability to make power, their engines overall design was never designed to make more then 70 WHP stock, most of their "bigger" engines...

  10. Carpenter racing

    After a 2 year delay of getting my bike done due to health/family issues I am finally going to be getting my bike done by carpenter racing. I am going to be calling them up next week to hopefully get my bike in the shop within 6 weeks. Since I know a bunch of you guys have work done by them...

  11. It feels good...

    Not that I was missed (I wasn't on much in the past, nor a poster of any notoriety) but its grumpy rocket here. I have been gone for 2 years and I finally have my life somewhat in order so I can sit back and relax (a little bit). After 2years of BS (lost family members to cancer and out of...

  12. Talk to me about gear

    (It's black, and I intend to get a white one with some black graphics to wear next summer; as I'm through with those noisy POS half helmets! ) First time I ever rode without a full face (with half helmet) I was deafened by the wind noise gowing between the chin strap and my ears. If I turned...

  13. Talk to me about gear

    I wear a Shoei RF1100 because after trying on 20 helmets it was the only one that fit and felt great. You can get it new for around 400$ or less for a plain one. From a comfort perspective there is a huge difference between it and a 140$ average helmet. I knew if it wast comfortable I...

  14. Rocket owners average age!

    Thats what I keep telling myself. The only platform out there that I know of that can get me at 280 pounds into the 9s and be comfortable is the rocket 3. A stock busa with a rider at my weight would struggle to hit high 9s, so If I can run as fast/slightly faster then a busa/zx14 would with a...

  15. Rocket owners average age!

    Wow I am the youngest on here? I know there were a lot of people in the late 50s/mid 60s, but I am suprized I am the youngest at 29. I never thought the R3 was a "old mans bike" but then again a lot of people my age says a lot of the R3s look to "dated". I would love to be able to own/ ride...
