    Thoughts on trailering

    I have always kind of snickered under my breath at people who trailer their bikes, I never could quite understand the reason for why somebody would do that. Especially when I go to Reno which is about 200 miles away from my house and I see people with California plates trailering their bikes...

    Another Rocket on the Horizon

    Took a ride down to my favorite Triumph dealership today In the hopes that they would have a slightly used late model roadster for sale. All they had was this brand new 2018 on the floor for $15,000, which at this time is out of my price range and budget. However I spoke to my buddy Gale, And...

    Bluetooth headsets

    I'm sure this topic has been discussed before, but since I am to lazy to do a search and I'd like a fresh perspective I thought I'd pose this question to the esteemed and not so esteemed (you know who you are) members of this forum. Although in the past I've never had much interest in it I am...

    Proud Dad

    My kid asked me a while back what kind of motorcycle he should get, I am sure he expected me to tell him to get a Triumph, or maybe even an Indian, I surprised him by telling him to get a Harley, to get it out of his system now, and then later move on to something different if he wanted...

    NEXX XR2 helmet

    I've had this helmet about six months now, and I've just about had it with the piece of crap! It's a nice looking helmet, comfortable and light weight. But these stupid plastic clips that hold in the liner suck!!!!! The bottom part around my chin is always coming unhooked, and now the headliner...

    Familiar sounding brake issue

    I recently saw this post on a SpeedMaster forum on FB. Since his brake problem sounds eerily similar to mine, I thought it deserved a mention here. It's a long read but what stands out to me is when he mentions that his brake pedal was set "deliberately high" As was mine by the dealer to...

    That's all I can stand can't stand no more...

    Paint can rattle?

    I noticed a new sound yesterday that seems to go away once the bike warms up, This morning before leaving for work I went around the bike and checked the tightness on every bolt I could find. If you listen to the clip it's the sound you hear at the end of the first 3 revs, it seems to get less...

    Arai Signet Q helmet

    After 8 years with my Icon full face helmet, and after being offered $200.00 off the Arai helmet by my dealer, I bit the bullet and purchased the Arai last weekend. Here are my thoughts. Why does Arai place that stupid Sticker right in the middle of a beautiful helmet? Nice helmet, light...

    Plug Kits

    I just noticed this nail in my relatively new Bridgestone :mad: I've never actually used a plug kit before, are they safe for long term use? If so is there one that's better to use? I called my dealer they said they would fix it using an internal plug for $175.00 If it can be plugged :eek...
