    Riders with all black bikes are too lazy to polish their bikes. Bright colored w/chrome bikes help drivers see you so you don't get killed.
  2. BIG NASTY RIDE

    You can take me off. I'm not planning to get another Triumph. For health reasons, I'm going to stick to riding a smaller bike from now on, plus it is just too far to go to a dealership and it's too difficult to get Triumph stuff where I live. It's too bad..Triumph makes great bikes. IMHO..they...

  5. SOLD: 2006 Triumph Rocket III Classic

    LMAO...I hear ya brother. I was there and wounded in '72. Welcome home cootertwo. I have five of ours (selling two and building one) and one of a buddy of mine's that is broke down waiting on parts in my garage. Getting a bit hard to move around because my garage is so crowded. If I get too...
  6. SOLD: 2006 Triumph Rocket III Classic

    Thanks skydog...I put a lot of time and $$ into it. Those pics don't really do it justice. I really shines and sparkles in the sunlight. And it runs and rides as great as it looks. The backrest was originally made for a VTX 1800. I reshaped, modified it, and had it re-chromed to help keep my...
  7. SOLD: 2006 Triumph Rocket III Classic

    Thanks Longrider. Your very kind words are much appreciated. I stalled and put it off as long as I could...but I finally just had to get over it and make my peace with it. But it surely is gonna be a real sad day when it pulls away for the very last time with someone else on it. But in my...
  8. SOLD: 2006 Triumph Rocket III Classic

    Well...sadly...it's time for me and my Rocket III to part ways. I just turned 65, and with my arthritis, my gout, my bad back, my bad knee, my screwed up shoulder, and my constant aches and pains from old wounds and all of that...it is just too difficult for me to ride it any more. I picked up a...

  11. For Sale anyone need a vintage Goldwing?

    What a beauty! I used to have an old mid 80s 1100 wing. I really loved that bike. IMHO, you've done an outstanding job of restoring her to her former glory with just the right amount of upgrades. Anyone that would not be proud to cruise around on her needs a serious slap in the head...lol Just...

    Yes they are. PM sent.
  13. Removing a dent painlessly...I hope

    I looked into a couple of PDR companies a bit, but it almost seemed like the cost of repairing the dent was going to be nearly as much as it would cost me to buy a decent used tank on eBay. The guy I talked to on the phone at one company I found online said that more than likely the tank would...
  14. For Sale NOS Roadster TORS exhaust for sale

    No worries WyldCFH...to each their own. It just seems so wrong to me that Triumph quit making them and a lot of parts and accessories for Rocket III owners. TORS, just like a lot of other stuff no one can buy from Triumph any more are getting about as scarce as hen's teeth. And that just causes...
  15. Clicking Noise in the Rear Wheel

    I have used Timken bearings (and races) for years whenever I can find them to replace any stock bearings that have failed. I've never had any problems with them, if they are installed properly and kept properly greased. I just take the old bad ones to a local industrial supply place that stocks...
