    There's always one .....

    So yesterday a group of us went out for a 200m ride out from Las Vegas to Oatman AZ and back. I was on the R3T and we had about 14 HD's and 1 Gold Wing. All was good and well behaved for the most part, until we headed out of Laughlin where there is a cool stretch of road with long twisties and...

    Tank Slapper

    Ona couple of occasions I have had the opportunity to take my 2008 R3T over 120mph. Both times have been very nerve racking. So at 120 + the bike becomes very unstable and the preverbial tank slapper starts. My first thought is that it is the windshield causing it. I have the half size screen...

    Desert Water Temps

    Being out in the Nevada Desert where temperature is over 100F most of the day for 6+ Months, I think a water temperature gauge on the R3T is probably a good move. I have found this: http://www.digital-speedos.co.uk/triumph-rocket-iii-temperature-gauge-365-p.asp Has anyone fitted one? Any other...

    BreakAway Cruise Control

    OK - Time to fit a Throttle Lock on this beast. So I ordered the 7CP01 BreakAway after watching the YouTube video's and other comments it seems the best way to go. It's currently sitting in its package on my desk at work and I opened up the instructions. I think I am facing a lot of cursing and...

    UCLEAR HBC200 FORCE DUAL PACK BLUETOOTH HELMET COMMUNICATOR

    Just a quick review on the UClear product in case anyone out there is looking for an in-helmet communication system. Priced at just under $400 US this seemed like it ought to be a good piece of kit, and after finding a new set on eBay for $280 US I decided to try it out. This was for the dual...

    TuneECU - brain dead

    OK - I got my cable for TuneECU last week and I couldn't get it to talk to the ECU. So I checked cables connection, turned the ignition on and off more times than I care to mention. Erased USB drivers and re-installed from scratched. Tried running in compatibility mode. I tried everything, and...

    Possesed Speedo!

    Went for a nice ride this weekend, and was cruising at 80mph - and thought I was doing really well at holding it at such a steady speed - who needs cruise control. Until I got to the 35mph speed limit, and the speedo informed me I was still doing 80! When I got to the parking lot and shut down...

    Beaver H4 Relay Install

    After reading posts on here about Ignition switch problems and voltage drops to the headlamp I decided the 1st mod I was going to make to my 2008 R3T single headlamp model, was the H4 relay. The headlamp reminded me of my 1977 Bonneville Price of Darkness days, so I wanted to fit a brighter bulb...

    81 Deg in Nevada

    I just thought I'd share with those in the colder climates that we in Southern NV are trying to get the miles in for the rest of you. Yesterday (Sunday Feb 16th) we had 81 degrees and not a cloud in sight. So it was time to let the R3 stretch its legs. As this is the first day long ride I have...

    What to look for?

    Hi folks, I have just returned to the Triumph flock after several years on a Harley. So I bought myself a 2008 R3 Touring with 28,000m on it. I have always wrenched on my own bikes, but I know each has their own little 'issues'. So what do I need to be looking out for? Rode the beast last night...
