    its official Triumph releases R3 Storm

    I’ve got my bike booked in for the rear brake recall thing in a couple of weeks. I’ll see if my dealer’s got one of the Storms available as a demo bike and give it a whirl.

    its official Triumph releases R3 Storm

    I’ll likely take a test ride on one (provided there’s a demonstrator available). The higher rev limit is appealing. I keep hitting the limiter on mine when I’m ragging it. Apart from that and the lighter wheels, there’s not a whole lot more that would convince me to trade mine in.

    Updated Rocket 3 be Released?

    Seeing as how the rumours suggest the next Rockets will have the same power/torque as the TFC, has anybody ridden the base R model and the TFC? Is there a noticeable difference in performance or is it marginal? I love my Rocket but the obvious power restrictions are a bit irksome. I’ve toyed...

    Armed vigilante brothers jailed for over 40 years after shooting at motorcycle thieves

    Complete and utter travesty. Far worse crimes have had lesser sentences. The UK justice system is a joke.

    Show us your chicken strips.

    I admit it. I’m thick (technologically speaking). I’ve been looking at the footpegs on my 3R and wondering where the adjustability is. I’m assuming that the pegs have been set high originally and the lower setting is hidden?

    Show us your chicken strips.

    Holy s**t mate! That is some serious leaning going on there! I’m finding my foot pegs are limiting my max lean so I’ve got about 5mm of chicken strip each side. Are your pegs ground right down to get cranked over that far? Or do I have a s**t cornering technique?

    Rear brake gone.

    Recently been on a few rides since taking the bike out of its winter hibernation. I’m getting that rear brake problem now! Very disconcerting. The hill hold function still works fine but to actually use the rear brake takes two or three pumps before it starts to function. Even then, it’s...

    Break-in period/limited power?

    I remember when after my bike had its first service the bloke at the dealership said that the ECU was updated as part of the work. I asked him what the update did. He didn't know. It wasn't anything to do with mode selection though - I put mine into Sport mode the day I bought it with zero miles.

    Well, maybe just a little! 😉

    Suggestions for rear darkside

    I know this sounds like I’m taking the p*ss (I’m not) but why not try visiting something like a hot hatch drivers forum? They must have heaps of information on the best car tyres for grip, longevity, etc. Certainly much more than a motorcycle forum I’d imagine. Just a thought (not taking the...

    Rocket 3R - Limited-edition

    My dealer almost forgot to give me the certificate when I bought mine until I prompted him. Hope you're successful with getting yours. Let us know when/if you get it. By the way, it's a great bike isn't it!

    Did you buy it new?

    Rocket 3R - Limited-edition

    The dealer should have provided it with the bike.

    New Member, lurking to learn all I can before I bite the bullet and purchase.

    On your test ride, try and find a road with curves on it if there are any. The handling on the new Rockets is incredible (for their size). I have the R and still get amazed how something so big can carve through the bends as well as it does. There's some kind of witchcraft going on there I...
