    Nice to meet Jim

    I'm still in Arizona, Yuma this time. I ran into another Rocket rider. He has a few miles on his Rocket. I saw his bike in the parking lot as I drove in. By the time I got to his bike he was loading up. You can pack an awful lot of grub on a bike. Shout out to tribal Jim

    Good to see another Rocket on the road

    My wife and I are in Arizona for the winter. Just did 900 miles in 4 days. On our way to our trailer, we were on I 10 in Phoenix clipping along doing 135kl/hr when another Rocket 3 touring comes by. He left shortly after but it was so good to see another Rocket on the road. It looked like he had...

    Bear attack

    Last year in June, my wife and I were going on a ride called "Ride for Eternity" an event for Adult and Teen Challenge of central Canada. I left the bike near the house so that it would be closer to load in the morning. When I came out, I was astonished to see my bike on its side

    Canada and the rest of the World

    Just want to say thank-you to all supporting the freedom rally in Ottawa, Canada. Sure would be nice to visit the U. S. this year. I would have made the trip to Ottawa if it was in the summer. In 1918 there was a General strike which improved the quality of life. Google "Winnipeg General Strike...

    Another one bites the dust???

    Just got a email informing me Legendary Motorsports in Fargo N.D. will no longer be selling motorcycles. They were the best dealership I have ever had the experience of buying a new bike from. Sorry to hear about another Triumph dealership going down. It would be nice if I was mis-informed.

    Not as much fun.

    I am getting desperate and tired of the Rocket 3 Touring running badly. I am hoping I can get some help. Here is my problem. The bike will pull hard and really go when I get on the throttle. It idles fine , without a hiccup. But when I am just cruising along , I get a backfire threw the intake...

    Dreaming of South Africa safari

    My wife shared a article in our local paper about the Game and Fish Association hosting a Safari night and that a Safari would be given as a door prize. It was a very good and informative session. Long story short, I won the door prize. Now I am wondering if we have anyone from South Africa on...

    Cam shaft questions?

    It is time for valves to be checked for clearances. My questions are 1) should I be considering getting some cam shaft mods done? 2) what are my options? 3) what do I need to adjust the valves myself? Thanks

    A proud dad, bragging on his son.

    I really like to see others being blest. Today I got a text from my son. He was out archery deer hunting last night and sent me a picture this morning. I want to share his success with you and do my own bragging. He is a pretty good hunter. Meanwhile I didn't have as much success moose hunting...

    Got a hic up

    While cruising down the road, very intermittently, I have a little hic up. Just a brief gasp, but starting to get more of them. I just hit 50,000 miles on a 2008 touring. I am wondering if it might be the fuel filter. Any other ideas?? I'm thinking of waiting to take the tank apart.winter is...

    Take precautions

    This story is sad and true. I don't understand how someone could be so trusting. A fellow posted his bike up for sale. Someone came and wanted to buy the bike but wanted to take a test ride. The seller even borrowed the buyer a helmet for the test ride. Buyer took off and hasnt been seen again...

    Touring shocks.

    I am wondering what would be a good option for touring. Canada has terrible roads and harsh highways. I need a shock that can absorb severe humps and bumps and deep holes. Not interested in performance racing but touring comfort. I was on a major road trying to keep my cup in the holder. If it...

    Stuff on the road.

    I want to encourage all to stop and get stuff off the highways. Be safe about it, but it could be you next time when you have something in your path and nowhere to go but to hang on and pray. I stopped the other day to pull a door off the opposite side of the road. As I was approaching I saw...
