  1. See Ya....

    For several different reasons I have decided to leave R3Owners.net. Its been a great time going all the way back to the old Rat Net days. I've made many great friends. Do me one favor... Ride safe! Tomo
  2. More Preds....

    I had a few spare moments Saturday so I put on my new set of Preds that I got from Sam. I pulled off the Jardines rather quickly. It took two days to put those suckers on (seriously) and all I had to do to get them off of the bike was to take off the 6 manifold bolts, the two rear foot peg bolts...
  3. Rumor....

    There is a rumor in the pipeline that there will be a New Rocket for 2010, an updated FULL POWER R3T. Speculation is that there is not enough difference between the new TBird and the R3T to keep the Rocket the flagship when it comes to horsepower. There is also speculation that if this is the...
  4. Went to Engle's today

    Pig9r and I rode down to Engle's today just to goof off. Brian got in trouble (again) when he had to squash a V Strom like a bug on the viaduct going there. He says he didn't even down shift. I really couldn't do much cause the stupidly slow V Strom wouldn't get out of the way and it was either...
  5. Hardknock Kicker 5150

    I had a guy come in today to get this same model of motorcycle inspected. Its like a 3/4 size bobber. It is really kind of cool. It had a foot clutch, forward controls, tank shift, a 200 cc engine and all the normal bobber stuff. I'm not sure I would ride it up on the Interstate but he said he's...
  6. I35 road trip to Baxters

    I will probably be up at Baxter's on August 1st (a Saturday). Do you know when you will go back to pick your bike up? Some of us will also be up there for his Rally on Aug. 21, 22, and 23. That would be a cool weekend to pick your bike back up... Will you be coming thru Kansas City and when if...
  7. High Percentage of Northwest Florida Folks

    Flip all by hisself outposts all you Florida guys....
  8. Would you Plug???????

    I currently have 14 plugs in my rear Metz. It looks like a cat toy.
  9. Final Drive Failure

    This is neither here nor there, but I had my final drive replaced under the recall way back when and it wasn't all that expensive, something like $350 I seem to remember. Or I should say that is what it got charged out at under the recall. I'll bet used from a salvage yard would be very...
  10. Just a howdy

    Nice to meet ya... and Welcome!
  11. Led's

    This is just a guess.... The only difference between having the ignition switch on without the bike running and then starting the bike and having it run might be the battery voltage. With the ignition just turned on it is probably around 12.4 volts but with the bike running the alternator may...
  12. WoW

    That looks like just a bare radiator, without any of the shrouds. The catch can looks like stuff you can get at JEGS or Summit..... Recovery Tanks That's some wild paint though!
  13. R3 Roadster

    Your English is much better than my German :D... Here is a Rocket Roadster but I don't think it has ABS:
  14. First bike you rode and First bike you owned.

    How sad is this... The first bike I rode may have been a little Honda 50 Cub with the 3 speed auto, or it may have been a CL90 that my brother had... I can't remember which one I rode first. I bought a 250 Hawk that was a fixer upper and had to hide it at a buddy's house. At the same time I...
  15. Weeping

    You can't reuse the old gasket. It tears and stretches when you pull the front cover off. That gasket is very, very thin. Inspect the mating surfaces to be sure no damage was done during gasket removal that would cause a leak. I glued the new gasket in place on the front cover before...
  16. Starting down performance mods road

    You don't know Yukon Jack, do you???
  17. Needed #1 Plug Wire

    I don't like using the phrase "Upgrade Kit" because it implies that Triumph is going to upgrade everyone's bike. I don't think they will. It certainly won't be under a recall which is different than a TSB. You might be more accurate by calling it "Customer Good Will". I doubt very seriously if...
  18. Request Trailer Advice

    There is an old boy from Wisconsin that shows up at Baxter's rally every year with a large toy hauler with living quarters and he loves it. He actually built his from a new horse trailer and made it the way he wanted it, it is very nice. He is retired and spends most of the summer months going...
  19. 2009 HOAME Vintage Bike Show

    Of course, there were plenty of bikes there. Here is a real nice one: See, just about anyone can wrap their exhausts......
  20. 2009 HOAME Vintage Bike Show

    I made it down to the 2009 HOAME (Heart of America Motorcycle Enthusiasts) Vintage bike show this afternoon. It was held at the old Downtown Airport (Wheeler Airport) in Kansas City. It took place in a hanger that also houses a Vintage prop driven commercial airplane museum. Lots of cool old...
