    Another Triumph dealer gone...

    It's not just Triumph dealers biting the dust, we just don't have that many to lose.

    Roadster

    I used to own an 05 Standard and now I am riding a '11 Roadster. Here's a few of my observations. The ride is more refined on the Roadie, better rear shocks and springs. I haven't been kicked out of the seat yet. The pegs are located a little further to the rear, but I have the crash bars and...

    A small, unique modification.

    I hope they don't break off and puncture your rear tire.

    Changing Cam cover

    I want a chrome cam cover on my 2011 Roadster. Is the Touring cam cover interchangeable with the black Roadster cam cover? I am looking at buying a Touring cam cover from Bike Bandit.

    I signed the papers for a 2011 R3R

    I took everyone's advice and called my dealer today and arranged to pick up my new Rocket. A 4 hour ride to there and 4 hours back home. I took the bike for a short ride before I loaded it in the trailer to bring it home. OMG, I forgot how good it was. It snowed on the way home, glad I trailered it.

    Hello from Salt Lake City

    Besides your Salt Lake dealer, there is one in Reno and shortly he will have another store in Las Vegas. I bought the last Rocket on the floor in Reno, I assume he will reorder one soon. In northern California there are several dealers who have both roadsters and touring models. They are...

    Triumph Dealers

    My closet dealer is about 150 miles away, the dealer I trade with is 170 away and there is another dealer about 200 miles away. I'm not complaining, the price to pay to be unique.

    My new Roadster

    We are having a series of wet storms blowing in off the Pacific Ocean, so I'm not missing out on any riding for right now. However, next week is supposed to be clearing up for at least five days. Then watch me start to climb the walls.

    My new Roadster

    The weather is going to be very soggy for the next week or so, so I'm probably not missing much except to stare at it in my garage.

    My new Roadster

    Here's my new Roadster in front of the dealers store (Freedom Cycles, Reno NV). I ordered a few accessories that will take some time to come in. These include Corbin bags, touring windscreen, tall sissy bar w/pad, engine crash bars w/highway pegs and TOR silencers. Corbin doesn't make the...

    New Triumph store in Las Vegas

    Freedom Cycle of Reno is opening a new store in Las Vegas. They have been super good people to buy and deal with for me. I just purchased my third Triumph from them.

    I signed the papers for a 2011 R3R

    I stopped in at my local dealer (170 miles away) and signed all the loan papers and all the rest of the papers on their last 2011 R3 Roadster. I didn't bring it home due to accessories that need to be ordered and installed. I even called the insurance company to start an insurance policy. I hope...

    Bleeding ABS brakes question?

    Good question, I'm looking forward to the answer.

    A returning captain

    Yes I have. I don't plan on any fairings, just a windscreen.

    A returning captain

    I hope you do. If you want, I'll show you around to some of my favorite haunts. I like to write up my rides and post them with pictures and will do so here when the ride conditions return.
