    2011 Models...

    Leather Jackets....

    No. Don't drink. Never got the taste for it. Just bad on me. Cold morning, warm afternoon. Took it off both times and just plain forgot it. I went back to Pennsylvania the next day. It was gone. Nobody there would admit to seeing it. Called Norfolk a few hours after leaving the place...

    Leather Jackets....

    Starting over with 2022 R - best bang for 3-5k

    Crate Engine???

    I've been around a while. Have not had much to say lately. After doing the Neville Lush/Viking Exhaust 200 Horse Power modification to my Rocket III (2300cc), I can tell you it has all the power a guy needs. It is a lot more fun this way. Triumph should have made it like this stock from day 1.

    Mounting an Exedra Max rear tire on the new 3R = Better Handling
