    Rocket sightings!!! They're everywhere!!!

    A few months ago couple buddies and I decided we would go to Sturgis this year. So we left 10 days ago planning to go the week before the rally started. We have had a blast and ended up as far as Idaho and Montana. We still have to go about 1600 miles to get home. I've owned my 14 roadster...

    hauling a rocket via pickup?

    The only way I would load into a pickup is find a business with a loading dock. My dad has done this and many companies have allowed him to use their dock with no charge and safe. Rocket falling off a ramp could be very dangerous.

    Bought a non runner in Vancouver

    No I don't have a spare and mine is black. I used the Ramair filter and it is under the bearclaw. The large triples look good without the claw

    Bought a non runner in Vancouver

    I wouldn't worry about the airbox pieces. Go aftermarket and forget them. Mine are boxed up in the shed somewhere.

    Got a new helmet, went for a 800 mi weekend test ride.

    Over 1200$ for the helmet and 2 sena units. I was trying for a $300 price range for the helmet. Definitely a bit of sticker shock.

    Got a new helmet, went for a 800 mi weekend test ride.

    My wife planned a weekend getaway and my old helmet was just no longer comfortable. ( probably not safe either since it is about 15 yrs old) Went to Cycle Gear in Huntsville Al and tried on all that would fit me. Just couldn't find one that I liked. Finally the guy brings a Shoei Neotec 2. It...

    Is there a dyno session in the plans for you? Been patiently watching and waiting for feedback.

    A riding question.

    I have went engine off neutral gear coasting a few times while in the mtns on long downhills. Never in any traffic. Didn't consider anything but the quiet and calm feeling of being like a kid on a bicycle.

    Disc brakes ain't that great !

    Thats truly sad. Not only were they installed incorrectly, but they were used. For a long time.

    Sweeten the pot . . . Lush "street" cams

    We've all watched that power slide video. I wonder if there was track prep to make that a little easier. Baby powder on pavement makes things a little slicker. My roadster just don't spin. Maybe it's a weight thing? I'm sure I outweigh Kevin Carmichael by a couple pounds. (Hundred)

    is it me or what ? [starting rough after sitting]

    @1olbull, I've heard that also. The reasoning was to allow the bike to get up to full operating condition. Don't just start and shut off. The heat wouldn't get throughout the exhaust or the rest of the bike and could cause condensation and rust.

    Big Sur Californiana

    We just got home from San Francisco. Did a drive up 1 and 101 to Oregon and back to SF. What a beautiful drive. Had to go in a rental car, but still a blast.

    Performance - diy pipes vs pro's

    I also had that idea. Solved the port connection problem by purchasing a used set of headers. I gutted my original exhaust cans and never got around to doing anything else. Maybe one of these days.

    Project Bike

    I would drain the tank, change the oil and filters, then run it just long enough to run the fuel out in the engine. That is if you aren't doing engine modifications. Get the weight off the tires and suspension if possible. Keep it stored in the dry and it should be good. I'm not a...

    Which PC V ?

    Be sure to know your objective. Do you really need a pcv? Most tuning on rockets can be done using tune ecu, which is free. Just a cable to connect. If you are adding exhaust and/or intake. Tune ecu is a much less expensive option.

    For Sale Carpenter Sidewinder Exhaust

    How is the sound of the carpenter exhaust with the baffle? I have heard them described as loud as he!! without baffles. Do the baffles make them manageable? If they can be quieted and they are still available I could be interested.

    Braking during cornering

    Why is it that a good thread about a technical aspect of riding is turned into name calling 3rd grade discussion? Usually instigated by one particular member that I have yet to see one positive comment from.
