    Sell my Roadster...?

    I loved my Concours even though it was the older, first generation with the "Briefcase" saddlebags...it was a terrific engine but like you I found the riding position too "Sport" for my hips. The Valkyrie I bought down there to replace is much more comfortable. Am not sure where I will be...

    Bike down deer dead.

    Moose are the problem here at night in the early fall season...(otherwise it is mostly light all night in the summer) A friend of mine survived slamming into a moose on his Goldwing a number of years ago, he was knocked unconscious and suffered quite a few broken bone injuries (as one might...

I retire on August 1st after 22 years as a Librarian and immediately hop on a plane for a one-way trip to NH to pick up the Valkyrie and ride it back...

    Sell my Roadster...?

    NOT ON YOUR LIFE!! I thought I would provide an update on my Rocket issues for those interested in such topics, and to let @DEcosse know again how much I appreciate the help he and others provided. The title of my thread comes from the attitude and response of a few locals (the service manager...

    Rocket Update

    OK so i am now a major cheer leader for GEICO....I was ready to have to fight with them...I bought my 2008 Tacoma in 2010 with 3K miles on it...drove it for 8 years putting 50K miles on it and paid 17,500.00 for it. The adjuster just called and said GEICO would like to give me a check for...

    Rocket Update

    My apologies to @DEcosse for dropping off the forum while he was so patiently attempting to get me back on the road. I was T-Boned by a red light runner on my way to work and had my just paid off, low mileage Tacoma totaled. I am generally ok but wading through the process of getting another...

    First Triumph gets you addicted, then they cut you off!

    True enough Warp!! I spent 6 weeks on Unalaska conducting an archeological dig and the chain is definitely in the tooly-sticks...very beautiful country though.

    First Triumph gets you addicted, then they cut you off!

    turn the ignition on and the clocks sweep and glow brightly...all functions on the clocks present themselves as normal. pull the clutch in hit the starter and it cranks over but does not catch...lights through this process remain bright

    I like your idea steel as while i am fairly handy I am not terribly experienced with motors but I can a least expose everything and check it out for corrosion and worn wires...I am very isolated here in Alaska with limited local resources. -Doug

    Here is a very disturbing update on my electrical issue...just off the phone with the dealer and the service manager actually told me, and I do not kid you these were his exact words..."these electrical issues with triumph motorcycles are known and when after considerable attempts to solve them...

    First Triumph gets you addicted, then they cut you off!

    I wont drone on about the Rocket, we are all here for the same reason...it is the love of a big cruiser matched up with oh-so-much fun torque and horsepower that forms the addiction. I just wish that, like my Honda Valkyrie, every time I punched the starter it just lit up. History: 2010...

    "Cycle world" magazine...

    ...Not gone but it might as well be. I get 2 industry publications..."Motorcycle News" and "Cycle World" and when I received my latest issue of cycle world I about fell out of my chair. I mean, I am all for motorcycles as art but the changes have turned it into a completely different...

    Approximate price to replace stator

    I bought my 2010 roadster with approx. 6k miles on it in 2012...put several thousand miles on it and when I developed starting/charging issues in 2014 was told by my dealer after they claimed to eliminate all other possibilities that my "Stator" needed replacing. We have a very short riding...
