    My bike is running like crap!

    i went out for coffee and a ride around the area this morning. The ride was warm but I enjoy the hot weather. The smoke was pretty thick from all of the wildfires but it didn't bother me much ( Respirator masks recommended Saturday morning in Tri-Cities for “very unhealthy” air). The problem...

She's a blue and silver 2008 Classic with Jardines (with corrected tune) the tuning cable, GIpro ATRE, I have the Eastern Beaver harness but haven't installed it yet, and gel seats for rider and pillion. Passenger floorboards, sissy...

    I haven't been on my bike since late August...

    when I had just rinsed of our (new to us) Miata before going out to coffee. I was towel drying it and was almost done. I bent over to wipe the lower drivers door and couldn't stand back up! That small bend over movement caused me to herniate a disk (L4/L5). I'm currently walking with a cane and...

    waterpump outlet hose size

    For such a nice weekend, today is being hard to smile through. Today after cleaning the fat bottom girl off and taking her for a little ride, she pissed all over herself from the waterpump outlet hose. When I went down to the dealership I found out that Triumph pulled out of my local shop...

    Has anyone else asked to themselves "why the heck did Triumph do that???"

    All summer I've had bloody knuckles from skinning myself when I pull my keys from the ignition switch. What hell did Triumph make the windshield bracket so sharp???

    Good News

    Good News. Triumph will cover the faulty ignition switch and labor! Hopefully AJ can get that switch installed before the snow comes to visit. I'm very satisfied with the service with my local dealer. He's bent over backwards to help me several times. I would have absolutely no qualms in...

    can anyone email or post the users manual/instructions for the Gi-Pro w/atre?

    I installed and set it up a while back but I've had to disconnect the battery since then, and now I can't find "that good spot to keep the manual so I wouldn't forget where I put it". I want to double check that I'm getting the most bang for my bucks! Thanks, Phil R prosenkranz at...

    I'm going darkside tomorrow

    on a Riken Raptor 245/50/16. I'm 5'8" and ~200lbs, what tire pressure should I go with? This weekend I put a few more miles on the Metz and came home with a hėll of a sunburn! :eek: Heck, at 50 years old you would think I would have learned to use sunscreen by now. Now I have that leprosy look...

    Ok, I guess I'm going blind...

    I need/want to remap my '08 Classic but I can't find a TuneECU map to fit my setup. I have Jardines (no cat) and GIPro ATRE. For now I have the factory intake and air filter. What map do I need? Thanks, Phil R BTW, Had a great, if not a little cold and windy, ride today. About 150...

    Love it!

    The other night the wife and I went to wash the dust down and support the local brewpub. A few other bikes were there too, mostly HD's or the HD wanna-bees. She looked at me and with a smile said, you know honey, yours is bigger! Just gotta love it!

    I bought an 08 RIII Classic in April of 09...

    And I'm having a blast on it, but something was missing. So today I put a down payment on a '10 Thunderbird 1700. It's the ultra fast Phantom Red Haze. I'm having TORS put on it along with a bunch of other bling (CRAP, the chrome pulley is $449!) What a nice way to start a stable of bikes...

    I'm ready to pull the trigger on some Jardines

    I'm ready to order a Jardine exhaust system for my '08 Classic. What else do I need to order other than the exhaust? Something for the O2 sensor? I know I need a new Fuel Management solution and I'm guessing that a PCIII is best if I want to take the bike to have it dyno'd. Thanks, Phil In...
