    Public Service Announcement - 2024

    Mainly for those of us in northern climates who put our machines away for the season. You lucky buggers in Florida and Arizona can ignore. The three most dangerous times for motorcyclists... New Rider New Bike New Season Ask yourself, which one are you? We're 2 weeks into April and already...

    Stickers on rear

    Apologies for not being clear. The Triumph Flag under the seat looks great! I wouldn't change a thing. My colour preference would be REFLECTIVE WHITE. The rear fender, my preference would be for ROCKET 3 on the rear, in lieu of 2500CC. That's me, I'm just finicky. The balance of 2500CC is...

    Stickers on rear

    I like the one under the seat. Best colour IMDO is REFLECTIVE WHITE!!! That would really make a statement. For me, the 2500CC is okay but not for me (to each his own). Would love to see it as ROCKET 3 in REFLECTIVE WHITE

    Soft rear brake after recall

    So in essence, three things could be true... Your service department didn't do the job correctly (always a possibility no matter where you go) Triumph hasn't fully resolved the issue yet Could be your bike (I doubt it but it has to be included in viable consideration) My money is on 2. In...

    Soft rear brake after recall

    Sorry to be a PITA but any chance you could provide more details? When did you have it done (date)? What did you have done (there is a Service Bulletin from this year re: rear brake)? When did you notice it going soft (date or days later)? Did you ride it between service and it going soft? If...

    Triumph Webmaster needs to wake up!

    You must be new to the brand. Their marketing didn't start to suck in 2024, it has sucked for a really long time. Welcome to the club!

    Module Bluetooth A9820200

    You need to zoom in a little to see the Lamonster mounted ZUMO XT2 and QuadLock Qi Charger but it works so well... And yes, I did a few laps around the parking lot at HD HQ while my wife parked her bike. The man says "Oh you don't ride a Harley?" I say "No, my wife rides a Harley. I ride a...

    Exhaust removal

    No one has written an instruction manual on it. It's pretty straight forward. There are some fasteners around it, there are some rubber mounting grommets underneath, it takes some prying and pulling and then it comes off. No secret sauce. I did it on my back in the underground garage of my...

    Another season all but done

    Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to put you down again Because of weather softly creeping Now is the time you're best left sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains within the sound of silence In restless dreams, you sit alone Down no streets of cobblestone Not...

    Tires

    Allow me to be more clear here. Here is my tire experience as follows... 2007 Triumph Rocket III Classic - Metzeler's ME 880 Marathon (ran nothing but these) 2014 Triumph Rocket III Roadster - Metzeler's ME880 Marathon and ME 888 Marathon Ultra (strongly preferred the 888s) 2020 Triumph...

    Tires

    The 880s were of a different breed altogether. The 888s are (IMDO) a better compound than they 880s were. I had both on my 2014 Rocket III Roadster. The 888s are much better, last longer, ride better. Again, just my opinion and my experience. They discontinued the 880s because they didn't...

    Tires

    I have. Love them (over the Avon). Please know that this answer is as contentious as Apple vs Android. There's no right answer (Android) but lot's of feelings and experiences. I have run both tire types. Metzeler 888 and Avon Cobra. MY preference is the Metzeler's for reasons of my own. To...
