    Rocket Captain down in So. Cal.

    He will never be forgotten. . . Steve Hiltner & I have been great friends for the last four years. We often rode with the Doug Douglas Triumph RAT group but more often then not, just the two of us would ride. Our 05 Rockets were almost identical except mine was the faster Red color. We toiled...

    Matching helmet? Who really needs it, but still nice?

    I've got the PERFECT helmet for you... I bought the new HJC Sy-Max II helmet in WIne Berry and it matches my 05 Cardinal R3 almost perfectly. Plus, it is modular and has a cool fighter-pilot drop down visor that stores inside the top. Check it out. These guys have a great price of $109...

    Tuneboy

    I tried 20050_1, _2 & _3 but found another sent to me by another captain to run even better. I modified the AF table somewhat and it runs really good with minimal popping but I'm looking to see if I can make it even better especially without any dyno time. I've removed the under-seat plenum and...

I will post it once I think it is perfect. I...

    Digital Gear Indicator

    I have the same problem thinking I'n in first and stalling it in the middle of the intersection. Accumen told me that they had that thing worked out a year ago. I got one of the first R3 in the states and sent them photocopies of my dealer's electrical section of the service manual so they could...

    Jap Manufacturers are worried about the 675 It seems that the Japanese motorcycle manufacturers are taking Triumph a little more seriously now more than ever! Case and point: Honda's R & D Department just bought a brand new 675 from my local dealer, the second one he had received. When I asked...

    Rocket Stand

    I wish someone would design a center stand that would bolt under the Rocket. If Honda can engineer a center stand to lift a Goldwing and a Valkarie, sombody ought to be able to design one for us... :D :D :D

    No More Blind Spot

    Pretty cool... Pretty cool! I talked to them about three months ago and they told me that they had no idea when or if they would ever import them into the US though. :mad: Maybe our European brothers will get lucky enough to get one... :D :D :D

    Electronic TRUE Cruise Control

    There was a recent post regarding cruise controls and throttle locks for a R3. I posted that there was a TRUE electronic cruise control made for cycles but I had e-mailed them last year and they had no interest to develop one for the Rocket. I sent the company another message to see if anything...

    cruise control

    Cruise Control UPDATE I sent another e-mail to McCruise.com, the company that makes the TRUE electronic cruise controls for cycles and he said that they are willing to begin the development and design phase for the Rocket 3. The problem is that they are located in Victoria Australia. Too far...

    Growing Trend

    Sellin' Lotsa Triumphs I took a bunch of business cards from my Triumph dealer and wrote on the back, "Tell 'em Mike V sent you!" Every time I go to the Rice Rocket or Harley dealers or motorcycle runs, I stick a bunch of them up between my seat and my pillion so onlookers can take one. My...
