    For Sale Carpenter Rocket 2012 (Houston TX)

    Bike has been lowered to $10,995. I told them to drop it from $13,995. I want it to sell, but am not leaving them much room to negotiate. If anyone has questions, message me here. I don't have a phone that I can use in Belize, where I am.

    For Sale Carpenter Rocket 2012 (Houston TX)

    I'm in Consejo, north of Corozal town. My apartment is about 100 yards from the water in 2 directions. The house I'm building is 2 blocks from the water in 2 directions. I enjoy it here. Much less stress than Houston.

    For Sale Carpenter Rocket 2012 (Houston TX)

    Texted you, although don't know if it went. No phone down here, but Shera will call you right after work. She's been dealing with dealer while I'm down here. If you get text, please reply. Belize doesn't have the most modern systems in the world.

    For Sale Carpenter Rocket 2012 (Houston TX)

    As the bike was part of the short-lived partnership between Carpenter Racing and Triumph USA, the bike is one of ??? that got the 240 package while "untitled" and sold "new" with the nameplate on the side of the engine and the straight trumpet exhaust. Mine somehow didn't get the heat shields...

    For Sale Carpenter Rocket 2012 (Houston TX)

    Thanks. I had a "regular" Rocket III for years and traded it in for this one. Unfortunately, started traveling A LOT, then ended up deciding to stay in Belize. The RIII is about 23 times the displacement of bikes down here. A big bike here is a 250.

    BEWARE...Posting Smartphone Photos of Bikes

    It took me a day to realize what this comment was referring to... The springs hold the pipes to the manifold. Rather than welding, then risking cracking due to temp changes and pressure, they used springs to hold the 3 pipe to the manifold. MarvinM

    Worlds most dangerous road?

    We accidentally found that years ago. You should have seen the line of cars behind our rental car. Apparently, the locals thought we were going too slow. I've seldom been actually scared in my life, but that was one of those times. MarvinM

    Liquid performance boost: Premium gas

    A few clarifications... Exxon, the largest publicly traded oil company by a wide margin.... is the 9th largest oil company in the world. The 8 above it on the list are all government-owned. (Saudi, Russia, Venezuela, etc). The oil companies that most people see every day, have nearly zero...

    Liquid performance boost: Premium gas

    In reference to Mittzy's post, Cheap low octane unleaded (87 in the US) is potentially bad if it is unbranded (no detergent additives). While the increased octane typically doesn't help, and ethanol lowers your economy and power, the detergent additives are useful. In the US, you see this gas at...

    Liquid performance boost: Premium gas

    I work for above mentioned company. The boost you see is not from the "octane", but the fact that you have more gasoline and less/no alcohol. Gasoline contains much more energy than ethanol. I'm not a fan of alcohol in gasoline, as it literally reduces everyone's fuel economy, causing you to...

    R3r Foot peg lowering brackets?

    While I like the look of my 2012 pegs over my previous 2008 pegs, I much prefer the location on the 2008. My new R3R pegs quickly put my feet to sleep. The highway pegs help, but I'd prefer more forward pegs. MarvinM

    Triumph ground logo

    I tried to buy the kit. Payment system doesn't work. You could install at base of peg and not risk grinding them (probably). MarvinM

    The NMF root beer is great, but you'd be one your knees on porcelain if you drank very many. Very, very sweet. Local bar serves them on ice cream. MarvinM
