    Re-mapping ECM

    So, as those of you saw my recent post, I've been away from this forum for many moons. I traded my Rocket in on a 2010 Thunderbird when they were new. Anyway, fast forward to now. I just recently bought a new 2019 Indian Scout Sixty. LOVE IT! I bought some Crusher (performance division of...

    Wow, R3Net is still chugging along!

    I stumbled across an old post while doing a Google search. Pretty funny Google returning results with one of my old posts as the top result. Good to see a lot of the members I know are still around. :)

    R3 vs. M109

    I watched a YouTube clip of these two drag racing. I was a bit surprised to see that the two were pretty close. I was also amused to see the Corbin bag lids on the Rocket deploy like aircraft flaps. Lol

    Here's a funny for you guys.

    I thought you guys might get a kick out of this. There's a guy on another forum looking for dark side suggestions for his, get this, Bonnie. I saw that and my immediate thought was "WTF". Lol

    Proper procedure to trailer bike?

    I'm proud to say that I don't trailer my bikes unless they're broke down. That said, I need to get my Tiger and Thunderbird to the dealer next weekend. They're not broke, but I need to get both there in one trip (50 miles one way) and I don't want to have to ride one there with someone following...

    Ordered New Tires (Tyres)

    I know I'm not the only one with multiple bikes so I figure some of that have other bikes in addition to your Rockets can chime in. My Tiger is in need of tires so I ordered some Michelin Pilot Road IIIs today. The OEM tires are Pilot Road IIs. They're "ok" and I got decent mileage out of...

    Battery Issue

    I think Bear Claw is the right forum; says "general discussion on Rockets and "other" motorcycles". 1. I'm having a battery issue with my Tiger and just want to confirm (as much as possible on a forum) my thinking. The battery reads about 14.5 volts on my multi-meter when running so I think...

    10K Service

    What are guys getting quoted for the 10K service? That's the Rocket interval for checking valves, right? I requested a quote for the 12K service on my Tiger and wasn't expecting the quote I got; $830.00. I know they have to check the valves and possibly shim some (don't know how often that...

    Let's discuss tire wear

    My tires have 9800 miles on them. The rear tire has a ton of tread left, but is getting a lttle flat in the center. The front tire maybe has another 2k of life before reaching the wear bars, but has a fairly significant amount of flattening in the center. I keep the tires at the recommended...

    A new picture

    I think I mentioned awhile back that I added Union Jack 3d decals to the side covers. Well, here's a pic after I cleaned the girl up today. I think they look good on the bike.

    Confused Pirates (and skeered)

    I rode my Tiger to a predominantly Harley hang out yesterday. It was chilly so I was wearing the cold weather gear I bought awhile back (Adventure jacket & pants). When I got there, you'd have thought a space alien descended on them by the looks on their faces. Eventually, a few of them starting...

    Marvel Mystery Oil

    Any believers mixing this stuff with your fuel, engine oil, or tranny fluid? I had a couple of guys yesterday tell me they swear by the stuff.

    Updated picture

    I finally got around to taking some new pics of my TBird. Of course, now I've done another change and need to take another picture. I added Union Jack 3D decals to the side covers. They're 1" x 2.5" (perfect size for the side covers). I think I'll wait to take more pics, however, as I'm getting...

    New Riding Gear

    I used my Christmas money and bought some new riding gear. I bought the "Adventure" jacket and pants. Man, what a great purchase. It's light years lighter and it's warmer. I went out when it was around 40 with just my jeans and a t-shirt with my new gear and was quite toasty. I'm a happy...

    Get any goodies for Christmas?

    I got a gift certificate to the local dealership so I went over today and bought some riding gear I've been wanting. We don't have extreme cold weather here, but it gets pretty darn nippy. I got the new "Adventure" jacket and pants. Triumph I got a good price on them too! I have good...

    Molinoman's Thunderbird

    Well, since I knew his bike was at the dealer now, I decided to ride over today. The first thing I did was walk over, sit on Molinoman's new T-Bird and let loose some of that cooped up chili dog I had for lunch. Man, what a relief. My stomach was some kind of bloated. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk... :D

    60K miles on a Harley Road King?

    My buddy's HD Road King has 60K miles. Here's what he's had to do to it, in addition to routine maintenance. - Rollar cam bearings - Headstock bearings - Swing arm bushings - Electrical short - Motor mounts - Clutch and brake cables (front) - Brake fluid reservoir (front) - Rotors (front and...

    Harley dealer just can't catch a break.

    Local Harley Parts Manager steals over $500k in parts and sells them on Ebay. The local dealer (owner) is a tool, his shop sucks, etc... That said, even he shouldn't have to endure this kind of crap. I HATE THIEVES! Former Heritage Cycle manager arrested for stealing parts, selling on Ebay |...

    Motorcycle GAS sucks!

    I need another motorcycle like I need another hole in my head, but I'm thinking seriously about either a Thruxton or Bonneville (probably an SE). They're pretty much spec'd the same, just different ergos. Decisions, decisions...

    Do you ever think about...

    ...how large motorcycles have become over the years. We're now to the point where a 1500-1600 cc bike is considered "mid-size". At what point did cars and motorcycles cross paths while traveling in opposite directions. Cars have gotten smaller over the years. I remember my first street bike. It...
