    Roadster causes injury!!

    Last week I was able to take the new R3R out for a short ride and made a couple quick starts. ok I kicked it in the ass. Since then my left hand has been giving a little weakness and muscle strain. I already know I"m a 6'3" 270lb 44 year old fat outta shape truck driver. So no fat old man jokes...

    I always told my wife if your knee touches on this bike, we have way worse problems than your knee!!!

    Thanks for the add

    Welcome from Cullman Al. Only had mine about 3 months. My wife and I came off a vtx 1800r to the r3r. The roadster is lighter off the sidestand, considerably quicker and a little easier to manuever. I'm very happy with the purchase. If you are looking at the Roadster consider a passenger backrest

    Your origins of riding.

    Honda Z - 50 my grandpa bought me when I was 5. Then at 9 an upgrade to a cbr 125. 20 years or so later got a vtx1800r. From that to the Beast. ps. still have the 50 in rough but running condition

    New Triumph Dealer in Birmingham Al., but old one in Decator lost dealership.

    While picking up a bag and some highway pegs at Allsport, I was told that Triymph was going to force them to take a certain number of all models instead of them just getting what they needed and wanted. Therefore Allsport dropped Triumph. At least that was their side to me. They did say they...

    Is it me or what- lack of confidence in Metzlers

    Dangerous tires. I will assume this is the same metz. lol

    Is it me or what- lack of confidence in Metzlers

    I dont think "locking up and sliding" means under power....lol Your experience doesnt equal skill. As you stick by your comment about the tire, I will stick by mine. Rear tire shouldn't slide on 800 lb motorcycle. Maybe you need a sportbike to ride this aggressively.

    Is it me or what- lack of confidence in Metzlers

    If you are "locking up and sliding" your rear tire on an 800 lb motorcycle, maybe you should try the front brake. Also some riding or stopping drills/lessons would be a good idea. Less panic braking....

    [Aug 1, 2015] RAA X (Rockets Across America)

    Marion Va sounds like a great base. We have been through that area several times. Seems like all the roads are good rides. "The Snake" is a great ride and you can go north towards Hazard Ky across Black Mountain. Beautiful twistys and scenery. Blue Ridge Parkway is also near enough.

    Is it me or what- lack of confidence in Metzlers

    My confidence on the metz fades at higher speeds. On the dragon a couple weeks ago I was comfortable. not so much on 70 mph curves here. I can feel the back moving around in the curves.

    Setting up RAMAIR FILTERS

    I like it. Does the ramair flow better than triple k&n? I am making a winter project list. Gonna try to contain myself until riding season is slower.

    Jardine Exhausts

    I spoke with a representative from supertrapp this past week and he told me these were discontinued when they bought jardine and have no plans to restart production for the r3.

    Setting up RAMAIR FILTERS

    Does the Ramair fit under the bearclaw? I know this has been answered before I just cannot find where. Pictures?

    Yamaha rider - considering a new Rocket III - would like advice

    Love mine, just have to get used to the wife asking about that big grin on your face every time you ride it.

    None what so ever...

    I have only 1600 miles on mine, but hope its as reliable as the vtx1800 that i came off of. I banged it hard at every takeoff and never had any problems. If it isnt built to withstand wot at every opportunity maybe it should'nt be "The most powerful motorcycle ever built"

    Barber Motorsports Superbike Races

    Is anyone else going to Barber on Sunday the 22nd. I would like to meet some others if anyone is going. Maybe even a ride down from north Alabama.

    This beast corners!!!

    This was my nephew's farewell ride before he leaves for the Navy. That lean angle of the cbr can only be accomplished by an 18 yo with no fear or a complete dummy. haha He will be a navy diver so anyones guess what he is. lol

    This beast corners!!!

    I couldn't help myself. Just a couple more pictures. I really enjoyed the weekend. Dont ride beyond your abilities, but if you have ever been to the dragon you understand these are mostly 30 mph and less curves.
