    Rocket Sighting

    I can probably count on one hand the times I've seen another Rocket in the wild, other than our organized rides. Today, the owner of this immaculate 2013 Touring was also passing through Jonesborough, TN. The owner and his brother stopped by to say hi as I was gearing up to leave and he kept...

    Mushy Front Brake Syndrome - I may be on to something...

    Had one of those random 2 a.m. ideas. I've had somewhat soft front brakes for some time. What if I strapped down the front brake lever overnight and then, before releasing it, I bled the MC? First of all, in my experience the whole idea of strapping the brake lever overnight is complete BS. It...

    Prices are up ~ 70% from what I paid just a few months ago. How this came to be and who's to blame is for another forum, but for now this is the new reality..... This is what I paid in August 7, 2025 This is what I paid December 29, 2025

    Took A Gas Bath

    Filling up yesterday and the gas nozzle stuck in the open position. Once the tank was full it just kept on coming and coming. I jerked it out of the tank and pointed it away from the bike, but not before the tank got thoroughly dowsed and I got splashed, as well. This is the second time this has...

    DIY - Valve check/adjust; timing; clutch change; fuel and air filter; spark plug change maintenance....

    Video here of the the 20/40K service, including a clutch overhaul. DIY saves you a couple grand, I believe, and the satisfaction in knowing that it's been done right. The bike absolutely runs and shifts better- absolutely. I was surprised just how much better she pulls and shifts- I guess...

    Front Brake/Clutch Master Cylinder Rebuild Kit?

    I've scoured the web and don't see one for the 2.5s. It looks like you have to buy the complete front brake assembly. Has anyone come across an aftermarket company with a rebuild kit for these bikes?

    Anyone Else Lost a Heat Shield Yet?

    Got back from a ride and this is what I see. I remember something hitting my boot and wondering, at the time, what it was. About $60 + tax + shipping for one shield, two grommets, and two bolts.

    Waterproof bag for touring/camping

    I recently got a deal on a used Nelson Rigg Survivor Series waterproof travel pack that has a sissy bar/luggage rack mount. It also came with a roll up bag for top. Open it's 25"tall, 18"wide, 12" front to back. I had a wider bag before, but this one is the perfect length for my tent, sleeping...

    Triumph's Wheelie Control System Turns You Into a Hooligan With a Safety Net

    After I did a @Neville Lush upgrade (cams & pistons) I wheelied my '11 Roadster nearly once a day on the back roads to work. The very first time that big girl stood nearly straight up I almost had to turn around and go home for a wardrobe change. I also had a Speed Triple before that, but unlike...

    Center Stand (really) and Olin Forks for the 2.5s

    I saw this on FB. Can't afford the forks and a center stand seems silly for this bike (would affect clearance), but here ya go.... Here's their website, but neither is featured yet- maybe later this month. https://www.xrayproject.com/ If you join the FB group you can see the post...

    Still Good People

    Perfect day for a ride before meeting with my new girlfriend (a.k.a. second ex- wife) :whitstling: for dinner. That’s another story. I was just getting to the start of where the road snakes along a river that happened to take out many houses when Helene roared through and flooded the area. As I...

    Coolant Temperature Sensor Mystery

    Has anyone had a coolant temperature sensor go bad on the 2.5s? I was about 10 miles from home when my engine check light came on and a temperature warning. It brought up the temperature gauge and it was pegged all the way to the top (solid red)! I pulled over immediately. The bike didn't seem...

    The CVO Road Glide RR, built on Harley’s touring platform, features a 131 cubic-inch motor that produces 153 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque.
