  1. Electrical/Other Problems

    Insurance of the cager who took me out finally paid off, picked up my 2012 Thunderbird. I am loving this bike!

  2. Electrical/Other Problems

    Thanks for the responses. Yeah, for awhile after my crash I was sure I wasn't going to ride again. Four months off a bike changed my mind on that. Was just curious about ignition switch thing. My Rocket had the switch go out on me on a ride up in the mountains. Had to wait a LONG time for...

  3. Electrical/Other Problems

    After a bad get-off last November, I am looking at getting a new bike. I had a 2007 Rocket before, looking at a Thunderbird now. Does the Thunderbird have the same problem with burning out ignition switches as the Rocket? Any other serious issues anyone is seeing? I have done some...

  4. Free Eastern Beaver Relay available

    Looks like you are the first to say "I'll take it" so it is yours if you want it, no charge. Got your email too. If you emkail me your info, I will send it out. Might take me a little time, say a week to get to post office, plus what ever time it takes to get there - never mailed anything to...

  5. Free Eastern Beaver Relay available

    Not sure where to post this, so I am just putting this here. My name is Ric and I have been riding a Rocket III Classic Tourer since March 2007. best bike I have ever owned/ridden. My bike is now gone, totalled. I was on the way home from work on Tuesday, 11/15 when a woman in a cage turned...

  6. Swap my Roadster Controls For Standard ones

    Wow. If you are that concerned over wasting money it might have been a good idea to test ride the bike before buying it and finding out you can't ride it without a LOT of work. I wouldn't argue over $20 (basically accusing him of trying to cheat you) when someone is offering you a deal that...

  7. 30,000 Mile Service

    Thanks for all the information. Local dealer quoted me about $600-650 for everything, but I wasn't sure if that was a fair price. Doesn't sound like it is too far off.

  8. 30,000 Mile Service

    Any information on an average price for the 30,000 service? My Rocket is a 2007 Classic Tourer. Thanks.

  9. Triumph Quit Ignoring Your Ignition Problems

    I completely agree - why doesn't Triumph just step up and fix this? I love my Rocket, but am starting to think about selling it as soon as I finish paying it off. Bike has beern in shop almost three weeks waiting for parts. Have had problems with fork seals (3 sets), clutch, fuel leaks, etc...

  10. Triumph Quit Ignoring Your Ignition Problems

    Another ignition switch story. I was on a ride in the Sierra Nevada mountains in California. Had a great ride up and over two passes (Carson Pass on Hwy 88 and Ebbets Pass on Hwy 4) and on my way back into the central valley. Bike died making a right turn in Angels Camp, California on Hwy...

  11. They DO exist!

    I've had my Rocket for over four years now. Covered most of Central and Northern California, Nevada. Just saw only my second Rocket on the road. Located just south of Sacramento, Califiornia and there are LOTS of bikes out here, still only seen two in four years. I like it that way.

  12. Battery Keeps Dying

    Maybe a dumb idea, but would it cause the bike any harm to throw an electric blanket over the tank and engine at night? Gets down into low 30's in my garage at night. It is pretty hard starting in the morning sometimes. Don't have the money to replace battery and get a new charger right...

  13. Rockets in South Lake Tahoe today....

    I wasn't up that high today, but I am not surprised the weather got a little weird. I was down on 49 riding from Sonora to Plymouth and got some light rain, but no hail. Cool that you saw some other Rockets. I have had mine for three years and have never seen another on the road.

  14. 2007 Model R3 - Gear shilft problems
