    Flooded...

    Read it...just been busy...the RV park flooded again last night...got my hands full and have yet to hear from the shop...will see if 8 can maximize payout for damage and still keep the bike if possible for later project.

    Flooded...

    The mechanic at the dealership did not even seem interested in working on it...most likely a total loss, but this bike has a lot of sentimental value to me...Plus I trusted it...it never gave me any major problems or left me high and dry. I hate to see it become a heap of scrap metal. Already...

    Flooded...

    Just got back from the local Triumph dealer where I get it serviced...they are thinking it is totaled.

    Flooded...

    Thanks for the advice, I went ahead and filed a claim and will be taking it to be fully serviced today.

    Flooded...

    just surveyed the damage...you can see where the waterline is...the bike could have been underwater for up to an hour, probably not any longer than that. I need to clean off all the crap and check to see if any water is in the oil. Bike was due for service anyways, so will likely haul it in...

    Flooded...

    My temporary home is a motor home...I think perhaps it is high enough that no water damage was sustained, but will not know for sure until tomorrow. The bike however, is more of a concern because it was parked on lower ground and almost certainly was at least partly underwater.

    Flooded...

    Flooded...No, I don’t mean flooded with gas...I got home from work today to find my temporary home flooded along with my ‘07 Classic which had been parked outside with a covering over it. I don’t know for sure how high the waters got, but a neighbor shared with me that the bike was at least...

    Triumph branded watches, any thought or experiences?

    Another reason for not buying a Triumph brand watch...if you do get one there will always be some guy somewhere saying “Why didnt you buy a Harley?”

    Could it really be ?

    When I first saw it, I remembered your analysis of the VR tour you were given at the bike show. First of all, thanks for giving us that bery accurate account (seems like ages ago...). Ever since then I’ve been waiting to see some sign that Triumph was gonna follow through with it. Although...

    Could it be true?

    Great work Bonecrusher! Looks like the headlights are lowered and the angle of the rake is more upright. Rear fender appears attached to the (one-armed) swingarm ala bobber. Guessing suspension may be similar to the bobber?

    Could it be true?

    As was said earlier, it definitely was the next generation Rocket. The changes do not appear to be too sweeping, but the styling seems to be trending the way of the Diavel. Looking less like a cruiser and more like a...well, not sure what it is starting to look like...but rest assured it is...

    Jay Leno reviews the new Speedmaster

    Nice review...perhaps a little bit too long...Jay repeats the same points over and over, but clearly he is a Triumph fan...the R3 engine may look like a tractor engine to some, but Jay is obviously enamoured with the classic Bonneville. The marketing department would do well to pay attention...

    University research into increasing motorcycle safety

    I have rode bikes for over 30 years or so, but I didn’t take a rider safety course until about 6 years ago...didn’t think I needed it, but I did in fact learn a lot. A few years ago I had a friend go on a bike trip with me through some pretty moderate twisties, he had ridden bikes for most of...
