    What to look for

    Hi folks, I've stayed away for a while because window shopping wasn't scratching my rocket itch, but the stars may be aligning: wifey's happy pills are effective, looks like a good tax refund year, AND a 2015 R3T has come up for sale near me, at a reasonable price. This particular specimen has...

    For Sale 2016 triumph rocket 3 roadster for sale $8500

    I'm not a buyer, as wife has banned me from buying another until I get the latest project up and running, but I had a question about the tip-over that might answer a potential buyer's query. What did the front fender bump into? Seems like the fork didn't even get scratched, which is impressive...

    For Sale What is my 2007 Triumph rocket 3 classic tourer worth. It’s in great condition cosmetically and mechanically and only has 10,000 miles on it.

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but .. probably not $6k. As always, the right buyer may be willing to fork over a bit more.

    For Sale Selling my Rocket X

    Sigh... Sometimes the US is just too big. 644 miles away... I can't do the Iron Butt anymore

    Ceramic Coating Viking Exhaust

    Have you considered wrapping the headers to see if that helps? Might be a less expensive / less permanent solution than stripping the chrome.

    For Sale LOTS of parts - '08 Rocket Classic - the bike's for sale too

    Not so interested in parts. As for travel, well, the going rate is I believe 55 cents/ mile plus a hotel room, 'cause that's about 722 miles, so I could probably round that up to about $1,000 over bike's price. Next question I reckon is what is the bike's price outside the parts package?

    For Sale LOTS of parts - '08 Rocket Classic - the bike's for sale too

    So uh .. wanna ride that bike down to TN so I can buy it? I'm pulling what's left of my hair out (and that ain't much) with all these sales so far North and West of me.

    **SOLD** 2013 R3T with a bunch of extras

    What happened to the right (pictured) side of the tank? Do you have more pictures? Sorry if you've posted about it previously, I mostly just glance at the Classifieds and move on. You've piqued my interest, but Raleigh is about 600 miles away, so I (and anyone else who finds this) might like a...

    Hello from Alabama

    I have nooo idea what you're referring to 🤣 I just like window shopping because it's less expensive 🤷‍♂️

    Hello from Alabama

    Welcome from Jefferson County! I haven't officially joined the club (still don't have a Rocket), but I'm a regular lurker in the Classifieds

    For Sale wants to sell '05 R3

    Thanks for that, I'm a smartphone user and had no idea. All yours Turbo, Cali's a bit far for me.

    For Sale wants to sell '05 R3

    What's your location? I was going to wait 5-6 years for used 2020s to come down in price, but this may be just the ticket... My knees are getting too old for my Blackbird

    Red Rims (powder coat)

    Some bikes can pull it off. But I frankly can't imagine it looking good on a Rocket. If you're set on coloring them, though, also look into hydrocoating. You can get a lot more color (and even color pattern) options through that process.

    I laughed...

    She's pretty cute (before the school girl outfit).

    Highway Commuting

    If I was really worried about gas mileage, I'd have a CBR 250 or some such. It's an added expense that is good to know going in.

    Highway Commuting

    Probably 75% of my motorcycling miles these days are a twice weekly, 170 mile round trip on the interstate. My Blackbird cruises along pretty comfortably (a little over halfway to redline) in the 110 mph range, while still getting around 35 mpg. I've considered dropping a tooth on the next rear...

    New Screen

    That's pretty freakin' sweet, even if it does have the 'wrong' flag ha. Where did you find it?

    Downshifting before cornering

    Gently, gently, gently! Practice somewhere other than right before a canyon curve! Of all the things to have in the middle of a hard lean, a locked rear wheel is one of the worst.

    So I think I want a blower on my Rocket

    I apologize for resurrecting an old topic, but I must know more about this, and a Google search didn't reveal anything. How exactly was the motor destroked? How much boost was being run? Compression ratio? I have some experience with sporty bike motors, a lot of them you can just pop on a...
