  1. And now it's time for goodbye.

    After doing some rather exhaustive research, I find that I am really no closer to picking my next bike than I was when I joined this forum. My reasons for not choosing the Rocket III in any of it's forms are my own. To list them would just start a strong debate (argument?) and so I shall not. I...

  2. Center stand question.

    I'm going to be buying a touring model when I return to the US. I would really like a center stand (because I'm not used to NOT having one) and I have not been able to find one for the touring model. I found this one, Rocket III Centerstand Not Touring Model But the site says it is not for the...

  3. Roadster mufflers on a touring?

    First, what I've been able to glean from the website and pics; 1. The roadster still has the cat in front of the rear tire. 2. The collecter/cat box is a different configuration from either the R3/Classic or the touring. 3. The angle of the pipes is not parallel to the ground like on...

  4. All my Soldier friends are buying Harleys

    The only reason I can come up with, besides that they have all been taken in by the hype, is that AAFES (Army and Air Force Exchange Service) only deals in Buell and Harley-Davidson motorcycles. I tried for years to petition the AAFES to give some incentives to get other makers involved and they...

  5. What the heck is a "bank angle sensor"?

    I was perusing parts on Ebay and found this; Triumph Rocket III 3 Touring BANK ANGLE SENSOR:eBay Motors (item 130323451346 end time Oct-06-09 06:20:39 PDT) So what the hades is a bank angle sensor? Does it shut off the motor if you drop the bike or something? I've never heard of one before. On...

  6. Hard tour trunk?

    OK, so now that I've decided to purchase a Rocket III tour model when I get back home, I am of course looking at the things that I'll absolutely HAVE to add to it to make it what I need. I'm thinking a top box is a must but I don't want to spoil the Cruiser style. So I found one I think matches...

  7. Pamela Anderson Barb Wire's Thunderbird for sale?

    It's not a R3 but it is a Triumph and maybe of note. A bit pricey even for a "celebrity" bike. Triumph : Thunderbird:eBay Motors (item 250501867554 end time Sep-27-09 14:44:26 PDT)

  8. The last straw.

    Yamaha finally did it. They put the final nail in the "I want a Royal Star" coffin. I even wrote them a letter last year explaining why I couldn't buy a new one unless they updated the engine and added fuel injection. I know it's coming but there are so many bikes out there that the...

  9. Darksiding the R3T?

    I have looked through the dark side section and searched the R3T section for info on darksiding the R3T. I have gleaned the the standard takes a 225/55 to 235/50 car tire in place of the 240 section bike rear tire. The R3T calls for a 180/70/16 so what does that equate to in a safe car tire for...

  10. Rocket III motor in a car?

    A few years ago I drove a beat up 69 Triumph Spitfire. What an absolute blast to drive. The only real problem was a lack of power. The pitiful little motor only made about 60 HP stock and had almost no torque to speak of. So many people have wedged V-8s and V-6s into them it got me thinking...

  11. Are the later models not plagued by issues?

    OK, as some of you have seen in other sections of the forums I've been asking questions, making comments and generally making a nuisance of myself on here for the past few days. So here's the million dollar question. What year did it become unecessary to have the "upgrade" kit installed. I mean...

  12. Thinking about a Rocket III tourer

    Hello all, I am Tazshido (the way of the berserker) and I am currently overseas in the middle east on a combat tour with the Army (National Guard). My purpose for being on this tour is to save money for a newer, nicer motorcycle (and to serve my great country of course). I have about 30...
