    Sad weekend

    I don't know if this is the place for this post, but some of you may remember Bill Zeigelbein (BILLZ). I am sorry to say that he was killed in an accident riding his 08 R3 in Sturgis this past weekend. Bill lived in Lincoln, NE as I do and I would see him from time to time. He rode to Eureka...

    A poll for the week-end?

    I love riding my Rocket so much that my Goldwing sits in the garage and collects dust. I did however get the bug to buy another bike for around town commuting. I found a great deal on a low mileage 2004 T-100, at first it felt like riding a toy, but I'm really having fun zipping around town...

    How fast have you ridden your Rocket III?

    On the I-80 getting around a convoy, I nailed 125. Once out running a Harley, with wife in tow hit 120 until I got the knock on the back of the helmet also!:o

    Welcome to the 2010 Thunderbird Forum!

    I think I want one, can't wait to do a test ride! I would probably have to keep the Rocket though, and convince my wife that two Triumphs in the garage would be an absolute necessity.:D

    Wifey vs. Speedmaster

    My daughter is wanting to learn to ride also. She is 25 and only 5'2" about 115 lbs, and not much arm strength, so I'm trying to find a bike that she could learn on but yet keep up on the road when we go for rides. This is proving to be somewhat difficult. I've looked at Rebels, Buell Blast, and...

    Tough choice

    Also there are a lot of Harleys sitting in garages because its a status symbol. I know a few of those guys, big house, professional job, and a low mile Harley that they ride about 200 miles a year. Generally on poker runs with their buddys. Oh, I forgot, you gotta have a Harley logo on every...

    Tough choice

    Why is it so many of these Harley folks can't admit that there bike was never intended to be fast. I have no problem with the motorcycle itself. Most of them are really cool looking bikes, kinda like having a new '57 Chevy, it would be fun to look at and drive around on a nice day, but any...

    One of Those Good Days

    Sounds like a great day. If only you could put the part with the adult beverages in with the part about arguing with the pompous BMW guys it might have been more fun!:bch:

    EFI guinea pigs?

    I was just reading the new issue of Cycle World, and they have a rather lengthy article on the new T-bird. I had to laugh when the Triumph spokesperson was talking about the EFI system on the new big twin and said "We've learned a lot about EFI in recent years and we don't need a second...

    Anyone Up For A Sunday Ride

    I think I'm going to ride to Missouri Vally, Iowa and ride the Loesse hills, but that's more than an hour from K.C.!!

    A Gold Star For DANNO

    Gee, I fixed Pianoman's alarm and everyone thinks I need to open a bike shop. Well a couple of days ago I fixed my Mother's 3 wheel scooter and now I got all the old folks in her "retirement village" wanting me to work on their scooters and power chairs! Somehow I might be able to combine the...

    Hey there

    Good to have you here! I was the first in my town to have an R3 (pop. 275,000). Now there are at least 5 that I know of.

    A Gold Star For DANNO

    Lets see, so far we got $400.00. If I kick in another couple hundred we could start an inventory of a pair of Metzlers! We're on our way boys. I even have a Triumph sign to put out that Pianoman gave me!

    A Gold Star For DANNO

    Actually with enough duct tape and bungee cords you can do anything:D (I learned that trick on my 66 VW microbus when I was 17). As for the $250,000 to open a triumph dealership, I'm about $450,000 short (today's financial crises, debt load). It would be really neat though, a great change from...

    anti-freeze?

    I changed my anti-freeze this spring and used Sylkolene. Its blue also and is silicate free for motorcycles.l I got it at my local bike shop I think it was right next to the little skull heads with light up eyes.:D Its cost 9.99 a litre (ouch), but its good stuff.

    Workshop Manual

    I've got the factory manual also. Had it for about three years now, pages are getting all greasy with blood and beer stains. I think I've even lost some tools in there!
