    I got to ride an R for an hour

    1 hour is not long enough. But it gave me a taste. It was an R with the standard mid controls which was too cramped for me. The seat was also a bit small length wise. Im a long legged 6.2in But every thing else was great. The best 3 improvements over the old model is the steering, gear change...

    Is there any new or updated info on a new model T/bird? I heard something about the name and engine size had been re registered with some US dept which suggested another may be on the way. Im hoping it will be as eye catching as the new R3

    What have i done?

    It started off by changing the plugs. The old Iridiums had done 70000klms and were taking longer to warm up. I put in some NGK standard type plugs and it was much better on start up. But I began to notice some drive train slop caused by a very small miss in the engine at a constant speed...

    Getting ready to do the 84000klm service on my 08. I bought a Unifilter as replacement filter happy that it was almost half the price of the standard paper filter. But when I got it I discovered it is a washable filter. I have never been a fan of them because on truck and car filters the...

    DNA Filters

    did haggis sell his bike?

    I saw a 2010 rocket with a new owner on facebook with a Reband exhaust that had been having trouble with the ECU crashing. It looked like Haggisboy's bike and he hasnt posted for 5 months,so wondering if he did sell it after all. He was talking about it. The new owner seems to have it sorted.

    Classic Saddlebag Liners

    I believe they were removed from the catalog a couple of years back. Pretty easy for someone with a sewing machine to knock some up and a **** sight cheaper than what Triumph wanted for them

    Bridgestone Exedra Max

    I got an Exedra Max fitted the other week for a price of $360 which is the cheapest ever. Although I could still get 3 delivered from the US to my front door for sub $800. Doesnt make sense.

    fluctuating idle

    Sometimes when the engine is warmed up,I will pull up to the lights and the idle fluctuates rhythmically about 50 rpm from its correct rate,then goes away at the next traffic lights and maybe for rest of the day. Sometimes I ride all day and it never occurs. Its been doing this intermittently...
