Greetings from Ukraine.

I always hate reading of a brother going down but am glad that you are here to tell the tale. I do hope that the bike can be made road worthy once more and that the cause of the wobble is discovered.
 
i think i would add a new front tire.
i have posted this a few times. i put a new metz on the front and i have a habit of getting up to 50 mph then letting go of the bars to put on my sun glasses and when i did it turned into a tank slapper but i did not go down.
now every new tire i ease my hands back a little to check for a speed wobble. and also do i once and a while just to make sure.
some riders have had to tighten the head stock nuts because they came loose.
ps some have had problems with the cobra's
 
Hello everyone.

I am a R3T rider from Odessa, Ukraine. Been riding bikes since 2008. Proud owner of Triumph machine since April 1st, 2017.

Used to have 3 bikes at once - VTX 1300S for everyday riding and long hauls, BMW K1200R for dangerously fast fun, and XR 250 for going fooling around off the beaten path every now and then. A friend of mine approached me with an offer for VTX, which I wasn't even thinking of selling. I said that I'd settle only for a Rocket 3. And there it was. In Kiev. Called up seller. Flew to Kiev in the morning, came back on two wheels the same day. Didn't have a single regret about switching bikes, despite the fact that I've put so much (time, passion, money) into my VTX.

And yes. I was (and still am) so tired of BMW getting broken all the time, and the tag on any part is just astronomical. So I am selling it. Thought of buying a Honda VFR1200F as a fast and reliable substitute... This was before I got to ride the Rocket. ;)

I've decided that I'd have R3T as the one an only road bike in my garage, and I'm thinking of getting a DRZ400 for enduro.

I'm also a scuba diver. PADI Rescue Diver, going through tech training now. I also ride bicycles and I ski.

I guess, that'd be enough for a first post and intro. Wonder if anyone actually reads these. :)
Welcome from a new guy. I would love to visit Ukraine someday. I would love to go visit Pripyat. That spelling may not be correct so please forgive that. I hear the beaches of Odessa are beautiful, but I was told they are often very crowded. Maybe someday I will get to see. Anyway, again welcome.
 
I saw a video last night which breaks all the rules here. All I can say is 2 girls, 4 basketballs.
I get you @BigNorm ;), ;), Nudge, Nudge.......say no more..SAY NO MORE!!
After all, copyright infraction is a serious issue! ;)
And an amazing juggling act to make the Harlem Globe-Trotters proud I'm sure, but @RKTNMYPKT 's WILD life documentary on women laying turtle eggs in SE Asia sounds compelling too.;):D:roll::roll::roll:
 
Hey Michael!

I would love to go visit Pripyat.

It can be done. They offer legal tours there. And you don't want an illegal one, just trust me. :)

I hear the beaches of Odessa are beautiful, but I was told they are often very crowded.

We have some nice beaches, yet yes, they are crowded during summer season. Locals don't really go to the beach much. I spend more time in Mediterranean and Red Sea waters, even though it takes me 10-15 minutes walking to hit the beach at home.

Maybe someday I will get to see.

Just like for everyone on this forum I'd be happy to help you with planning and organising such trip.
